Plantpartconvert acting up

Hi guys,

 

This is a multi step question. Im having a problem with converting the block from this step file into a custom part. No matter how I apply my port connections, Once I create custom part the ports end up very close to the center of the valve. No combination of editing the port placement in plantpartconvert, saving, and reopening has changed the results.

 

Secondly, once I am able to successfully position my ports, how should I define the valve so that it accepts RF flanges without requiring Gaskets?

 

Thank you for your time,

Hi

As I check when import the step file it was scale down to 1/25.4. You need to scale up to x25.4 before adding the port.
