The convertfromprjdata you can do on selected components, you can also set the changedata piperule to not remove any of your manual edits for things like tag / linenumber / description etc.
do you know of a way to globally select all pipe in a model to use the convertprj command similar to a qselect?
I will need to test it, but you could ICEDIT the problematic pipes and change the endtypes there from BW to default.
Holy Moly that was the ticket! MTOworx coupled with ICEDIT allowed me to globally select all pipe and change the end types. this doesnt work with convertfromprjdata but it still fixed my issue! thanks buddy!
