routing pipe cannot plane or bend

[Anonymous]

Hello

I cannot continue routing the pipe. it goes just straight and i cant change the direction which was available normal befor but i was trying to fix the connection sitting and the auto flange error message by modifying the joints and adding more options for the ends.

everytime i start routing error message comes: PLANT 3D PIPING ERROR.  CONNOT CONNECT PARTS.

I dont know what i changed or what command i used but i cant route or connect anymore.

this screen shot is for the situation how it is now :

thanks

My first though is to check your pipe spec to make sure there are 90 ells - something could have happened to it?

If you changed the joint connections, you might have disabled them ? Try getting back the previous version of DefaultConnectorsConfig.xml in your project root folder. Or get one from another project.

Always make a backup of that file before changing it !!!

Hello John,

if you toggle a joint connection to work as metric/imperial it ill ONLY be valid for metric/imperial and no longer for metric/metric or imperial/imperial.

If a joint needs to work in all cases you will need to create it tiwce,once with and once without the metric/imperial toggle.

Hi Peter,

I just post with other screen shots so please check them to be more help full.Thanks so much for answering.

Can you please tell me how i can gett back to the previous version, and please the link or how i can have this back up ( the commond or the way), this would be the most helpfull, thanks man

Retrieval of a previous version would be an IT issue, unless your network infrastructure provides this (try right-clicking the file and check if there's a 'previous version' tab).

Back-up is bya simple copy/paste of the file itself.

But on your screenshot I can see that you can correct the settings by adding joint connections. Fro each Metric/imperial connection you need an identical version without the imperial/metric toggle.

Thank youuuu.

You did it man, I canceled the metric/imperial joints and it worked good again.

and thanks for the tip about DefultConnectorsCongif, In the right click there is to restore to previous version.
