           the selected Gasket type for rating 1500

Why and How to avoid it?

Solution:

As the message states, there is no gasket information available in the Gasket Library file. 

To completely understand this issue, perform the following:

      1.  Open flange dialog and press the help button. 
      2.  Select the hyperlink for "Gasket Type"
      3. Read the information. 
      4.  Open AutoPIPE's installation folder
      5. Search for and find database (MDB) file mentioned in the help above. 
      6. Open this MDB file, and go to the gasket table. 
      7. Filter the table on Rating (ex. 1500)
      8. Filter the table on GasketType (ex. Non-Metal)
      9. Continue filtering the table to find a specific flange, 
      10. Ultimately, a database entry for a particular flange that triggers this Warning message will not be found.

Avoidance 

The only avoidances are:

1. Post a new IDEA to AutoPIPE's idea page asking for the flange database to be updated with information on a particular flange. And wait for a future version of the application to be released with this update library. 

or

2. Select settings on the Flange dialog so this warning message above does not appear. 

or

3. Manually update the Flange database with your specific data. Save the file back to the installation folder. If using this option see warning message below
