Difference in ipt

[Anonymous]

What is the difference between the first 3 parts and the 2 last? How do I get the 2 last the same as the 3 first? They came from content center, but there is no link to break...?

The bluish piping tee indicates those given piping component is under the control of the routed system rules in Inventor even though your model may not even being a routed system model.  If you unload the routed system module add-in, going forward, piping components from content center would come in as normal content center icons.  When a content center component has the bluish piping icon in the browser you are not permitted to do certain things since its controlled by the rules of routed system

Kind of like what's covered in this article https://synergiscadblog.com/2014/04/14/component-replacement-on-a-content-center-part/

Additonal tip if you have placed those T&P content center parts with the addin loaded and you want to quickly change them:
Place the part, it will have the "pipe tee" icon
Copy the part (any method, right-click menu / CTRL-C, browser or graphic area)
Paste the part, it should get the normal "book" content center icon
