Revit Based HydraCAD (Ribbon/Toolbar/Location)

Button: Couplings Function: Add Couplings

Description:

No error, but when trying to use Add Couplings, Revit stops responding and the couplings are never placed.

Solutions:

Cause:

An update was made to the Couplings tool that treats the value of the Maximum Distance from Existing Fittings as a length in Feet' - Inches", where it had previously only wanted a number in Inches. 

The Couplings program remembers the previous value, and tries to cut in couplings 6 feet apart, as an example, and doesn't actually freeze but takes a very long time to eventually give an error. 
Solution:

Reenter your spacing as a length in Feet' - Inches", a typical spacing being 0' - 6", the minimum recommended length being 0' - 2", and the maximum being 1' - 0"
