Metric DN 150 and ISO DN 168,3

Anonymous — Wed, 08 Jul 2020 09:45:26 GMT

Hello!

In 3D Plant I have problem with creating DN 150 pipe. I would like to have two of them ISO 168,3x3 mm and Metric 150/154 mm.

How can I solve that? For now I can only have 168,3mm.

Can somebody help me?

Thank you in advance!

Make them the same Nominal Diameter, or turn off Nominal Diameter matching in the connection settings.

Thank you!

But could you make it clearer? I'm sorry but I'm just starting with 3D Plant and I would be able to draw these two diameters.

Thanks!

Dear @Anonymous ,

create a new nominal size with the value DN154 in the "NominalDiameterMap.csv"
The file "NominalDiameterMap.csv" can be found in your current AutoCAD directory under Programs

Thank you!

I think this solution sounds perfect!

Unfortunately I dont have permission to do that only Administrator can change that file.

Can I create my own csv with that and load it somehow to 3D PLant?

I have create like this see attached picture. But I can't see that in 3D plant.

I have attached picture how I have done that. I can't see any differences in 3D Plant.

Dear @Anonymous ,

so now adjust the parts in SpecEditor, which pipes with the outside diameter 168.3mm and which with the outside diameter 154mm both add pipes to the pipe spec and the work is done.
