Help - Unable to save Tube & Pipe style.

Hello,

 

I'm working at create new pipe and tubes library. I create pipe and elbows ipart componets and I am trying to create new pipe and tube style, but when i choose my elbows and pipe and try to save - nothing is happend. I cant save it, and when i try close window, i notice if i want o save it before close. Nothing happend to when I try to save it this way.

 

I think I have a problem in the files, I send images so that they can help me.

I attach Images and files that I create.

I used Inventor 2019.

 

Thx.

A couple of incidents are related to this error prompt. I am not sure if your case falls into those:

And more recently:

Check if your expression column does capture "PL" in the formula, and make sure no two components can be named the same way:

Hi.  In addition to what you shared (thank you!) can we also see what you have in the File Name column for the pipe?  And also a screen capture of what you see in your Tube & Pipe style?

I think I've got it.  Tube & Pipe does not like DIN sizes to be listed with the "M" in front of them.  What I used to do, and what I tested here, is to add a new parameter into the ipart table called Size (or whatever you want to use).  Populate that column with your Stock Number but without the "M" in front of it.  Do this for the pipe AND the fittings, and then re-publish them (delete the existing families first).  When you publish them, use the new "Size" as your Nominal Size.  You can still use Stock Number as the Key Column if you wish.  Once published, you should be able to create and save the T&P Style.  Don't forget to fill in the Rules tab!

Good luck!

You added a column for size in your ipart tables like below?

And then Pubished the part to the Content Center, and re-created the T&P style?  Can you show us the T&P Style dialog (both tabs)?

If I do what you told me in the 3 files, I attach images in case I made a mistake.

Is there any chance you can attach the images in this post or as an attachment?  I am still not sure what the issues are without a pc and or unzipping the folder.

Captura1 - The new column looks correct.  Did you do the same for both of your elbows?

Captura4 - Shows me the second tab of the style, is there a Captura3 with the first tab?

 

It also looks like you're editing an existing style, instead of creating a new one.  Is that what you intended?

I made the same changes with all files.

All the images that I send are from the files in general with their two tabs.

I tried to do all the files again to check the data but I still get the error of not letting me save the file, is there any way to check where the error comes from?

I add new images of the files so that you can see better.
