Problem:

The following is displayed when using AutoPIPE

---------------------------
Warning
---------------------------
W21-38: This function cannot be applied at the current point.
---------------------------
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

A. Inserting a Tee at a Bend Near / Far / Mid / TIP Point. 

B. inserting a new segment at the start / end of a valve. 

C. Splitting a Segment into 2 segments at a Bend Near / Far / Mid / TIP point

D. etc...

The only work around its to not perform the operation at this point. Try selecting a normal Run point.
