PVC Pipe Couplings in Design Line

thatsaid — Fri, 19 Jun 2020 16:40:07 GMT

I used George Fischer (GF) PVC Pipe and Fittings ITMs to create a new Service in CADmep.

When drawing the pipe in Design Line, the pipe lengths, most fittings (elbows, tees, bushings, etc.) work as expected. The pipe, though, just connects pipe-to-pipe, no couplings are inserted if the pipe exceeds 20 ft.

The Pipe C1/C2 = GF Sch 80 PVC Plain End (Pipe Sched90 PE,itm) TNFAB v5

The Coupler C1/C2 = GF_HUB-PVC Coupling Sch80 Adsk Data v4,

Connectivity for C1/C2 = None

Changing the Coupling C1/C2 Connectivity = PVC (Pipe Sch80 PE.itm) TNFABv2 - makes no difference.

How do I set up the PVC Coupler as a Connector for the PVC pipe in Design Line?

Thanks,

You will have to review in your database connectivity rules. Make sure you dont allow pipe to pipe connectors. Are your pipe connectors end types set to Male and fittings/coupling set to female?
