SW Routing Orientation of Reducer
SW Routing Orientation of Reducer
(OP)
Hello All,
I have been using Routing for a month or so and have found it to be extremely unstable and quite frustrating. I have had routes created that were saved and fit correctly within the top level assy (saved and rebuilt) only to have them corrupted upon opening the top level assy the following day.
In trying to repair one of the route assemblies I need to add a concentric reducer from 2" to 3" pipe but cannot get the reducer to point in the right direction. I need to expand fron 2" to 3" but the fitting will only orient 3" to 2".
Additionally when placing socket weld elbows I use the shift and arrow keys to toggle its angular orientation, however, once the fitting is located and you accept its positioning it would snap to an alternate position, 45 degrees out from where the preview indicated.
When the software works routing can be a great time saver, but I end up wasting time trying to correct corrupted routes. SW also crashes daily. VAR is of little or no help.
I am running SW2007 SP5 on a Dell Precision 490 Intel Xeon @ 2Ghz, 2Gb of RAM and an Nvidia Quadro FX3450 with all the latest and correct drivers.
Can anyone offer any help with the fitting orientation?

How are you inserting the reducer? Are you dragging and dropping from the design library?

Not that there is anything wrong with your network, but most file corruption issues we have seen occur via the network.
You may want to work locally (as a test) to see if the corruption issues are network related.

Don't know why the points were missing. Was your routing library protected (i.e. read-only)?
