When connecting to flanged nozzle of an equipment that converted from autocad objects/blocks, P3D does not give bolt length correctly.
Compare following 2 examples:
1. If the quipment is created from Plant 3d parametric shapes, the bolt length is correct( P3D recalculated the bolt length according to each "Flange Thickness" value).
2. If the equipment is converted from Autocad objects/blocks, the bolt length is NOT correct( P3D does not recalculated the bolt length according to each "Flange Thickness" value. The bolt length remains the value in catalogue).
This problem has bothered me and our company for a long time. So many boltsets in the BOM must be modified by hand!
Is it a bug?
PS: Searched the forum, I found that the same issue was posted more than a year ago, but no reply.

Last I checked the bolt length calcs still need some work done on them. Autodesk is aware of the issue.
