Problem with adding auto connection to different types of flanges

Hello, I have a problem with auto connection in Plant3D. In spec I have 3 different types of flanges (facing B, CL/DL and E/F). I want the flanges B to be connected with B, CL to be connected with DL and E to be connected with F. Each connection works when I choose the flange "by hand". When I place the flange on pipe the auto connection works for flanges B and CL/DL - it is set in DefaultConnectorsConfig.xml for AutoFlange as follows <Filter>C1.NominalDiameter=E1.NominalDiameter AND C2.NominalDiameter=E2.NominalDiameter AND ((C1.Facing IN ('E','F') AND E1.Facing IN ('E','F')) OR C1.Facing=E1.Facing) AND C1.EndType='FL' AND C1.PressureClass=E1.PressureClass</Filter>. When I add to DefaultConnectorsConfig.xml the connection CL/DL like that <Filter>C1.NominalDiameter=E1.NominalDiameter AND C2.NominalDiameter=E2.NominalDiameter AND ((C1.Facing IN ('E','F') AND E1.Facing IN ('E','F')) OR (C1.Facing IN ('CL','DL') AND E1.Facing IN ('CL','DL')) OR C1.Facing=E1.Facing) AND C1.EndType='FL' AND C1.PressureClass=E1.PressureClass</Filter> it stops working. What am I doing wrong? Can somebody help me?
