C3D 2010 Pipe Parts

[Anonymous]

I had a drawing with pipe network I was working on in 2009, then installed 2010 and opened the same drawing. Now every time I draw pipes it gets the sizes all jumbled up and I cannot swap parts to the correct sizes.

For example. When I draw an 18" R.C.P. in plan view, it creates a 42" R.C.P. Then when I try to swap parts to the 18" R.C.P. it will not change. Same for other sizes...when I draw a 12" R.C.P., it makes a 27" R.C.P.

Any ideas? Could it be the parts list is not jiving with the previous 2009 drawing?

When I open a new drawing and draw pipes in 2010 they seem to work correctly.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Michael

I wound up copying old parts to create any new storm systems I needed to create. Luckily, the project was nearly complete when I made the switch to 2010, so I only had to "copy" parts to one additional storm system...

I haven't heard an official fix for this problem...

Thanks for the help. I'm copying all my parts for now. I hope to hear some other fix later.

I was wondering if this was ever resolved. I am having exactly the same problem: I need to create a 18" pipe but it keeps drawing a 42" pipe. It allows sizes down to 27" but no smaller.

Using 2011 C3D now, original drawing was created in 2008.

Thanks!
