150LB vs 300LB Automatic Gasket/Bolt Insertion - 06/21/18 07:25 AM
Good morning,
I have a user having an issue today with Automatic Insertion of Gaskets and Bolts. We have a spec that has sizes 1/2"-24" in 150LB & 300LB ratings. I set up our configs with Apply Gasket Insertion Rule and Apply Bolt Insertion Rule set to Automatic. I have always used keywords for my bolts and gaskets.
Example gasket callout - {MAIN}-150LB GASKET 1/8" THICK SPIRAL WOUND..
Example bolt callout - {MAIN} x {LENGTH} LG STUD BOLT......
The problem we are having is that CADWorx is putting in 150LB gaskets and bolts automatically even on 300LB flanges. This is a very unusual pipe spec we usually only have one rating (150lb or 300lb or 600lb etc) per size so I have not run across this before. We can always work around it but I wanted to find out of there is a setting I am missing so that CADWorx reads the flange we are putting the components on and puts the right one.
