Good news....the sorting to have Slip always on long side works as expected. Also the dynamic holes appear that they will cut out so they will be in the correct location. Judging by looking at the production screen. Weird thing is every time we try to start making the duct, it spits all the metal back out. Operator has no idea why because all we have ever done is manual entry.  Any ideas?  It is a Vicon Machine with plasma cutter.  I will probably reach out to Vicon tomorrow. I feel its something simple I am missing.

We use trapeze with support specs, then just override with ancillary rod kits when needed. for instance if I use a trapeze to support multiple pipes. or have a trapeze with hangers dropping out the bottom.

This issue has recently come to our attention. Is there a specific reason why Trapeze hangers do not adhere to the Hanger Specifications in the same way as other hangers?

It seems the common workaround is to create separate ITMs for each rod size. However, I wanted to confirm if this is the standard approach and explore whether there are alternative solutions to minimize the potential for user error when assigning rod sizes.

That is because you duct guys have better defined shapes.  :-*  ;D

I really don't understand why people go the Wrap route. You lose so much functionality.
Just learn to create parts correctly. I have never wrapped in 10 years and 300K parts.

Never wrapped either!

I believe the solution is as simple as asking our people to use our "Buttweld" specification.  Our specifications all have a "Buttweld" spec in each group of specifications.

OK, I figure out where that extra 1" seam comes from.  It is from our specification for round duct that has a 1" Lap for collars as shown in the attached picture.

Now, I will have to figure out how to work around this problem for buttweld round duct that has collar.

CAMduct™ Users / Why Buttweld Reducer Has 1" Seam in Its Collars
« Last post by jaysomlam on Jan 29, 2025, 14:03:23 PM »
Somehow reducers (CID#162) that have buttweld seam have 1" seam allowance in their collars.  There should not have any seam allowance because our Buttweld seam has zero male and female allowance.  This happens if a reducer has Buttweld seam or "None", or if it has "Raw" connector or "None".

We can see that a reducer with 32" diameter should have 100.53096" circumference.  The length (X-Size) of its collars should be the same as its circumference because it has zero seam allowance.  Unfortunately, the length of the collars has 1" seam allowance added to it.  No idea where the 1" seam allowance comes from.

Please let me know if you know where the 1" seam allowance comes from or a way to remove the unnecessary seam allowance.  Thanks.
