inserted the fitting

[dxmv]

Hello. I laid the pipes, inserted the fitting .. One valve is missing in the library, I modeled it on a fast one. Now I need to insert this valve into the cross connection .. When inserting, the branch of the pipeline moves, not the valve! How do I fix this?

• Using assembly constraints can have unpredictable behaviour. I normally use a trial and error approach to solving.
• Does a manage rebuild all repair the route when you exit to top level?
•  Constrain the route to the run origin planes by include geometry. This should help stop the route pulling at an angle.
• Failing that reconnect using (edit connections) select the fitting and pipe route at the broken side.

I assume you haven’t author the fitting and it is outside of tube and pipe environment?. This tends to pull the piping towards it I guess hierarchy structure. 

I tend to always author the fitting even if it is temporary as the assembly constraints are a pain.

I would agree with @A.Acheson .  You will have much better success if you author the part first.  Assembly constraints can have a strange effect on T&P assemblies, especially if they are not grounded and locked down.

 A.Acheson, Thank you very much for your help! I was very busy and could not answer right away .. Unfortunately, your methods do not solve my problem ((In general, to be honest, the module for laying pipes and inserting a fitting is very badly done. I wonder if the developers themselves have ever used this module? When you need to quickly get a route , insert the fitting, and this must be done in different versions with different fittings .. This does not work in the Inventor, this is a headache! ..

I agree with you there is much room for improvement an add-in like this should never be finished it should keep evolving with its industry users. 

Did you come to any resolution on this? Did authoring the valve work or did the route continue to fail?  Attaching files can sometimes help but if you can post a video we can pinpoint any error points hopefully.
