Hello,
Does anyone know why in the style manager under Butt Welded and Flanged mode after choosing pipe component there is no matchning flange component and the same thing if I firstly choose flange component the pipe component is disappeared even when all filter settings are untagged.
While authorising the pipe I set Welded connections and for Flange connections are set Flange and Welded. The nominal size I choose ID.
Are there any other main parameters to link pipe and flange in Style manager?
Thanks.

Its all about the formatting of the components that you publish to content center. However you have only provided words here and there's not really a lot to go on.. With T&P everything has to line up and if one thing is off, well things like this happen.. Anyhow give us more detials..

I agree with Mark. Can you please post some images of your tube & pipe style? My guess is that you have some differences in the unit formatting of your authored pipe and/or fittings. Very often, if the unit strings on your authored components don't match exactly, you can see problems like this. For example (using Imperial units), if you have a pipe conduit family table with the size authored as 1", 2" etc.... and your flanges or elbows or whatever are authored as 1 in, 2 in or just 1, 2 etc... this CAN cause a mismatch and you will not see them when you try to create a tube & pipe style. This is just one possible cause, so posting a screen shot will help.

Thank you for quick reply.
Yes, It seems like It's very important to have parameter "NominalSize" identical for both iParts to make them linked to each other. After I deleted all members in iPart Flange that have ID parameter not equal to ID parameter of iPart Pipe it made things work. Finally I can create Flanged style.
