Elbow stub-in inline

[Tom_Jipping]

Hello once again,

I noticed that back in 2015 somebody also posted this exact problem but nothing was done about it, or so it seems. So that's why I'm posting it again.

Why can I not get a stub-in to get inline with the vertical pipe? You would guess that a stub-in in the centerline would be the default option but unfortunately this is not the case. Has there been any development on this issue since 2015?

Attached a screenshot of the situation.

Dear @Tom_Jipping ,

simple answer: NO

Dear @h_eger 

Okay, so is there any other workaround for this problem?

Not known to me.
Please create a support case with Autodesk.

Hello

Here is a principle for creating a stitch centered on an elbow

Select the pipe to place on the elbow.
Preferably activate the “Tubing on pipe” option
Force the "QUADRANT" and click on the end part of the elbow, not on the pipe.
Orient the direction of the pipe

Voila un principe pour créer un piquage axé sur un coude

Sélectionnez le tuyau à placer sur le coude.
Activez de préférence l'option "Tubulure sur tuyau"
Forcez l'accrochage "QUADRANT" et cliquez sur la partie extrème du coude, non pas sur le tuyau.
Orientez la direction du tuyau

Hello!

That seems like the solution! My only problem is that my elbows don't snap on quadrants. I can only select the quadrant snap of the pipe.

Do you know a solution for that by any chance?

Kind Regards,

Tom

Hello

Switch to 2D wireframe mode and select the edge of the elbow near the pipe with QUADRANT snapping

Thank you! That worked.

But the result is that there is still a slight offset to the stub-in, see screenshot below.

Hello

For me it works well
Can you send me your DWG file to see?

Yes of course, see attached.

Hello

Two observations :
1 - Do not define ports S1 and S2 as "Universal_ET" but "BV" for example as for those defined in the catalog.
2 - Do not use the "PlaceHorder..." or "CustomPart..." specification. Set another specification such as "10HC01" or "CS150" or something else.

By using the "QUADRANT" hook, the connection should be created in the axis of the pipe.

Once the branch has been created, if necessary, you can return, from the properties, to the specification and the starting ports, "PlaceHorder" and "Universal_ET"

== French ==

Deux constatations :
1 - Ne définissez pas les ports S1 et S2 en tant que "Universal_ET" mais "BV" par exemple comme pour ceux qui sont définis dans le catalogue.
2 - N'utilisez pas la spécification "PlaceHorder..." ni "CustomPart...". Définissez une autre spécification telle que "10HC01" ou "CS150" ou autre.

En utilisant l'accrochage "QUADRANT" le piquage devrait se créer dans l'axe du tuyau.

Une fois le piquage créé, si besoin était, vous pouvez revenir, depuis les propriétés, sur la spécification et les ports de départ, "PlaceHorder" et "Universal_ET"

Hello Dominique,

As you mentioned; ''1 - Do not define ports S1 and S2 as "Universal_ET" but "BV" for example as for those defined in the catalog.'' this was my problem.

I also tried it with some other Specification and noticed that the end types of the elbows were set to ''PL'', I changed it to ''BV'' and it worked!

Thanks for thinking along and providing a solution to this (very annoying) problem.
