What controls the fittings that you can swap one for another?

Right now there are no controls. Autodesk is hard coding what patterns they think are interchangeable. Lots of room for improvement here.

Thanks, I agree.  I was hoping I was doing something wrong.

I am assuming this is still the case since there aren't any significant updates in the software for years now?

Yes. And swapping via the Type selector also resets all the part GUID's to zero's. Been a real headache for Stratus and anyone that wants to use the part GUID's for tracking.

"Type Selector" is what they call that control in the first image.

It also doesn't seem to like swapping BoughtOut parts for Manufactured parts. In most cases the Service spec fails to be applied. I think it's trying to carryover the setting on the Bought part.
