2014 Fabrication MEP

Hey all,

I'm having an issue with FabricationMEP 2014. We upgraded to 2016, but decided to go back to 2014 after having some issues on 2016. But it seems we may have created another problem. The CAD profile that it pulls the info from is on a network drive, and the database is on a network drive. All 5 of the computers look at the same database on the same network drive, but when we try to a 4-Piece Flared Tap on all but one of the computers, it sets the height at 10 and 1/4 instead of the 12 that we put it at. Only on one computer does it draw it at 12 as it should, even though the rest of the computers are looking at the exact same thing. Is there any type of help that you can give me?

On a side note, we noticed that the end connector if we change the end connector to 1of it corrects it to the proper size.

I've attached 3 pictures that should help to show you that the height property changes when drawing the part. There are 5 computers using the same setup, but only one draws it correctly.

Please help!! I'll owe you a cookie

Hi KAMPATEL7896,

Can you use the APPINFO command to check each workstations "Build", I think this issue is dependant on the program version which could affect the connector Straight allowace being applied or ignored. Here is the connector setting to check for:
