1 connection non catalog item in ISO sketch

Hello colleagues,

 

I have flanged spark arrestor in the end of Dn80 SS150 pipe.

Since there is no such a custom component i made it from 3D block.

 

In model everything is fine:

NCI-02.PNG

 

When ISO is created I got this:

NCI-01.PNG

 

Some huge dimensions and angle of displacement appear (component is just 110mm high, but some dimensions of hundreds are on ISO sketch).

I pay attention this is default situation for 1 connection custom components.

 

Any ideas hot to make component to appear normal in ISO sketch?

 

Regards

@popovUS9BY ,

 

please ALWAYS create such components with 2 connection points.
Otherwise the iso with the alignment refers to the coordinate 0,0,0

Hello,

thanks for reply.

 

Both block and component are in attached archive. SS150 spec is used.

If you found a way please tell me.

I got a lot of 1 connection components like spark arresters, Strorz couplings with caps and other stuff I do not know even know how to write in English.

Hello @popovUS9BY ,

 

exactly they need the 2nd connection point to ensure the orientation in the iso generation.
The 2nd connection point remains unused

Hi,

How about make it as flange-blind type so something like this: TYPE=FLANGE-BLIND,SKEY=FLSO

in isodefinition?
