CID#875 connectors
« on: Jan 06, 2009, 17:32:58 PM »
Where is Connector #1 controlled from?
I need both of connector #1 & #2 to be pipe size, but connector #1 is defaulting to a fittings size connector.
I thought I could fix it in Edit, but Connector #1 is grayed out. How do I change it?

Connector #1 should default to "None" and in turn connector #2 drives the size of the pipe so if you have a connector showing up in Connector #2 then this will drive your pipe to be a fitting size.

If you're looking to put a flange on the end of the item this is controlled in the options #9 (Branch Allowance to Pipe).

C1 would be if it had a PIPE Body, but also is C2 and that one is not greyed out, anything I place on C2 does nothing....C3 is the outlet of the fitting itself...

FYI, this is MAP's way to keep us in our toes....you'll learn that soon....  :D

Dave, by flange you mean like a 1" allowance? and then, if so, you have a machine that can actually form 1" like that?....we are limited to 3/8"....

Yeah we have flattening dies in the shop and I believe they can turn up to 1.5" flange out.

only the good mechanics can do it though :D  The heavier the gauge the more you can turn, up to about 1.5" like Dave said with the flattening dies of our turning machines
