Pipe Slip On Flange Set Back (amount of pipe that goes into the flange)

JeffMix — Wed, 26 Oct 2022 14:01:43 GMT

I am having trouble figuring out how to adjust a slip on flange set back with CADMep. We have different standards in our fabshop and the dimensions with fabrication CADMep are different than what we use. For those that may be able to help that are unsure what a set back is, this is the amount of pipe that slides into the slip on flange. The distance from the face of the pipe to the face of the flange is the set back. Any help would be much appreciated

Go into your connector library. Edit the connector you are using for the slip-on portion of the flange. Edit the Breakpoints. If I recall correctly, you have to set the value of the "snap offset" column as follows:

(("Total Length of the Slip-On Flange" - "Setback Length") * -2)

It's been a while since I did this, but I think that will work for you.
