how do you rearrange c1, c2, c3 on a gored elbow.
« on: Mar 06, 2025, 21:35:13 PM »
I am fairly new to cam. Is there a way for you to rearrange and designate connectors. My gore elbows are set up like this: 
C1=gore/body connection
c2= connector 1
c3 = connector 2

I would like it to be like this:

c1=conn 1
c2=conn2
c3=gore/body connections

No. like the other post, this is driven by the CID pattern.

Nope, believe me I have looked for a way since program inception as for elbows C1 SHOULD be the entering size and C2 the leaving size and there's no need for C3 as the seam between gores should come from SEAMS NOT from connectors, this has bugged us in writing specs since day one! I guess that the original programmers though that connection between gores should be a connector.

We found out really quick when starting this travel on a FLANGED job, we had an extraordinary amount of extra flanges, after inspection we found ALL elbows on the job had FLANGES between the gores, so nowadays we LOCK C1 to a SEAM...  ;D

Perfect timing. I was just explaining this to a coworker a few minutes ago, and this was the first thing I saw when I opened the forum.

I think we all got jinxed  ;D Had one manager this morning asking me why C1 connection is NOT the entering side of our elbows  ;D
