• A check has been added to prompt warning to the user in case an invalid Stub-In connection between same size Header and Branch pipes. 

Advance Tap Port 

• By using the Advance Tap port tool, taps can be placed on sides of elbows, Bends, Tees, Valves and Pipes. 
• Changing Branch Angle also updates the graphics of Pipe Wye. 

Saddle Olet Updates: 

• Following parameters of Saddle Olet can be changed dynamically while placement and through Modify Component dialog : 2. Width of Saddle Olet plate by using Offset 
• 3. Length of Saddle Olet 
• 1. Length, Thickness and Width of Saddle Olet Plate 

Pipe Insulation Saddle Support Updates: 

• Rotation Handler of Pipe Insulation Saddle is now moved to the center for ease of rotation for better control. Also following parameters can be changed dynamically now while placement and through Modify Component dialog : 2. Saddle Width 
•  
• 3. Saddle Thickness 
• 1. Saddle Length 

Notes Placement on Sloped Pipes: 

• Note Placement functionality has been improved to allow placement of Notes at correction location on sloped pipelines.

• Insulation Graphics have been updated to remove extra Centerline coming from Insulation in order to generate proper drawings 

AutoFitting Updates 

Place Mitered Bend via Autofitting 

• Autofitting Functionality has been improved to place Mitered Bend as an Autofitting during Pipe routing. Mitered Bend option has been added in Place Component > Autofitting Tab. Upon Selecting the Mitered Bend option User should be able to see different Mitered Bend Dimension options e.g. Bend Point Radius, Miter Cuts etc. necessary to draw the Mitered Bend. Also similar to Pipe Bends, user will be able to place mitered bend at any angle while auto routing. 

Switch Pipe Ports while Auto Routing of Pipes: 

• It’s a common scenario that Pipe or Elbow may have different end conditions and user may need to switch the Pipe ports for valid connection while Auto Routing. Now by pressing "Shift" key from keyboard, Pipe Ports can be switched and valid connections can be created between pipe and elbows. 

Manipulation Updates 

• Move component Tool in Ribbon has been improved to select the MicroStation Elements while moving OPM components. 
• Rotate Manipulation of  a valve by using drag and rotate has been improved so that handler moves and rotates the Top Work along with valve.

Update Fasteners Relationship After Move Joint Operation 

• It’s a common scenario to Move Joints from one pipeline to adjacent pipeline. Move Joint functionality has been improved, so that fasteners now update their relationships after Move Joint Operation with both existing and new Iso-Sheets and also correction relationship info is shown in Element Info, Explorer and BOM of Isometric Drawing 

Retain Sorting in Pipeline Manager 

• Pipeline Manager now retains the sorting on column after relaunching the pipeline Manager or even after closing and reloading the dgn. 

Supports Updates  

New Handler for Hangers 

• New Handler has been implemented to change the length of Rod for Hanger Supports. Also functionality has been added so that Hanger supports maintain their position and orientation after applying slope on pipes. 

Placement of Supports on Sloped Pipes 

• Placement of Supports on sloped pipes is now customizable to keep their orientation vertical or sloped according to the slope of pipe. 
• A new custom attribute IGNORE_PIPE_SLOPE_ON_SUPPORT can be added on support class and set to true, if we need to keep the support vertical on sloped pipes. By default in OOTB : 2. Hangers, Shoe Supports, Base Supports, Elbow Supports will remain vertical on sloped Pipes. 
• 1. Anchors, Guides, Support Locators will orient along with the slope of Pipe.
