    Not sure about other people.. but I found most of the specs are missing too much to be useful.

    so I made my own specs after modeling all the fittings needed.

    An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you know and what you don't.

    i think in the GF catalog PVC there are some problemes

     

    for diameter 63 for exemple when we generate iso or in the line name it says "63mm" not only "63" it's a big probleme for us because we cant use the spec wtih mm at the end of diameter... any idea ?

    Hi,

     

    Please update the "NominalDiameterMap.csv" in your AutoCAD Plant3D root directory. To do that, Please download the attached file and replace existing file under "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD Plant 3D 2012 - English\".

     

    Note:  It is a good practice to back up the existing file before replacing it with the updated
    version.

     

    Thanks & Regards,
