In Autocad plant, when I want to move only one pipe any route from pipe body in any pipeline, the whole pipe moves.

In Autocad plant, when I want to move only one pipe any route from pipe body in any pipeline, the whole pipe line moves. (Pipe line's all parts are unlocked) How can i solve this problem, do i need to turn off any feature.

@mehmetcirit please describe with more detail with snapshot.

Thank you @rajendra.prajapat , I think the question is so clear.. When I want to move a segment (Piping Part) in the pipeline, the entire pipeline moves. (Pipe lines all pipe and fittings are unlocked placement).

Dear @mehmetcirit ,

No, unfortunately your question is not clear.
It would help us to have some detailed information like pictures or screencasts from your side in the forum so that we can give you support in your problem.

Ok.. Please find the attached jpg file. Thank you....

How else can we help?

Thanks for your reply. I am re-explaining the problem. 

Normally; when you want to move marked pipe segment as shown in the attached, the other parts will be stay in place (Like your refer video).

My problem is; When i want to move marked a single pipe segment, the all pipe line is moving. How can i close this option ? I want to stretch one pipe segment.

So Plant 3D has no function that can turn on or off the behaviour you describe.
We do not know your configuration, so it is difficult to write a solution.

If you click and drag the middle grip on the pipe segment you should get the expected behaviour. Adjoined pipe segments will lengthen or shorten according to your movement. The directions in which you can move the pipe in this way are restricted by the directions of the adjoined pipe segments. >>click here<<

If you click and drag the full segment all connected pipe segments (and fittings) will move instead of lenghtening/shortening the adjoined pipe segments.

If the above does not resolve your issue, do your colleages have the same issue on their workstations? does the issue only happen with a specific project or pipe line number? Have you performed all available updates for your software? Are you using a specific mouse (like a 3D mouse) or software that intercepts and modifies your mouse input?

Good morning mehmetcirit,

I know what you mean.

A couple of years ago the same thing happened to me, i was working on a project of reverse osmosis plant, by that time i made a big an complex routing of chemical pipes with different specs. I wanted to enlarge or shorten a little segment of that routing, but the whole pipe of the reverse osmosis plant moved as if the elbows where welded and didn´t allow the different segments of pipe move on a free way.

Sadly, i couldn´t find a solution about that issue, if i wanted to enlarge or shorten part of the pipe routing, i had to delete a little segment, latter i enlarged the required segment and finally joined the 2 separated parts of the routing pipe because of the little segment previously deleted. It is a little bit time consuming process, but so far, i don´t know a solution.

If you want to avoid this kind of situation you have frecuently to purge unecessary elements of a drawing, daily cleaning the cache of your computer, etc...

Thank you.. I will purge the file and make update to my program.
