Problem:
The following is displayed when using AutoPIPE
---------------------------
Warning
---------------------------
W21-34: This function can only be applied on junction of two segments.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
Why does it appear and What should i do now to avoid it?
Solution:
There are some commands in AutoPIPE that can not be performed at certain locations in the mode. For instance, joining 2 segments where where one segment starts with a Valve.
Note: there are multiple rules associated with joining segments. Please review them all in AutoPIPE help.
Avoidance:
As mentioned above this operation can only be performed between 2 run points and not at a location of a run and component (i.e. Valve face, bend, etc..).
Example:
Joint segment A and B together to form a single segment..
Step #1:
If necessary, add a new temporary node point on segment A before valve, otherwise delete the last node point on Segment A.
Note, last node point on Segment A is now A02.
Step #2:
Select the 1st node point on Segment B, face of valve, B00
Step #3:
Insert Run from front of valve face (B00) to last node point of previous segment, A02
Step #4:
Use Segment Join command to join both segments.
