Pipe Eccentric Reducer family instance parameters not working

Hi all,

 

I have created a eccentric pipe reducer family with all relevant dimensions as instance parameters, and it works fine when I was testing the family by itself.  But once I loaded it into a test project file, a number of problems appear out of nowhere (e.g. the fitting outside diameters would not change with pipe nominal diameter; new pipes added does not follow the input slope, etc.)  Any idea what is wrong with it?

Firstly the reducer in the routing options in the project is not the same one as the family that you uploaded.

Secondly in the family which you uploaded you've effectively locked the diameters by use of formulas:

Remove those formulas, include the correct fitting on the routing options and it should work.

Thanks, I musta had a brain fart putting the pipe size in the formula column.
