2015 - Tube and Pipe does not honor new size

I created a pipe run using 1/2 tube.  I would now like to change this to 1/4.  When I do the tube size stays the same.

Can someone explain how to get this to change.  As you can see in the above video, I am selecting the "Change Size" in the context menu for the hose, but it has not effect.

 

Thanks

Blair,

So you have created a style for each different size tubing?  Are those styles stored in each assembly are are they published to a shared library?  Would you export one of those so I could see how the style is built?

 

Thanks,

Kirk

All "Styles" used in T & P are stored in the Tube and Pipe Assembly IAM file. I can't attach files to this user forum at work, send me an e-mail at: blair dot stunder at arcticmfg dot com and I will send you my T & P IAM file to look at. In this case I modified an existing Parker file.

Guys,... the tube & pipe "template" file is "Piping Runs.iam".  It is found in your Design Data path... wherever you have put that.  Save all T&P styles there to have them available for future use.  And yes, you should have one defined for each size of tube or pipe that you want to use.
