Fixed length pipe spool with different end types?

Hi, Is it possible to have a fixed length pipe spool that has different end types? I am setting up a spec for PTFE-lined Carbon Steel pipe that we use, and all our straight lengths have a fixed flange at one end and a rotating flange at the other (see attachment). The fixed length spool I have set up uses Content Iso Symbol Definition TYPE=PIPE-FIXED,SKEY=MF??, and works perfectly, apart from the fact that I need to indicate on the isometric which side has the rotating flange, either by changing the end type symbol or by adding a note - is there any way to do this?

Dear @Anonymous ,

 

we did not do this with Fixed-Pipe but executed the components as Sleev and created our own Iso-Symbol. There are two different flange ends once LAP flange once fixed flange.

@h_eger, with your solution do you create the fixed lengths as block based parts?

I really need my fixed length spools to be variable length so we can use the line to pipe function, so I had used parametric parts
