Catalog Editor - Temporary Conical/Cone Strainers

[Anonymous]

Hello Everyone,

I have to add some temporary conical/cone strainers to my catalog similar to the link below and I am a newbie.  Can an experience user give me some direction?  I have found some information how to convert a block to a block based component, but haven't attempted it yet or decided if this is the way to go.  I would prefer to copy another component and use parametric dimensions if I could.

Thanks in advance,

Dan

Hi Dan,

Paddle Spacer would be the best parametric object to copy, but this will not allow you to represent the cone.

If cone representation is important you will need to create blocks for each pipe size, run PLANTPARTCONVERT on each block to place the 2 ports, then add to your catalog.
