AutoCAD Based Piping (Ribbon/Toolbar/Location)

Button: Move Main Error Type: Fatal Error

Description:

When selecting a pipe for the Move Main command, you get a fatal error

Solutions:

1.
Cause:

UCS is not set to world
Solution:

Set UCS to world.  Type UCS <enter> W<enter> and try again

 

Instead of using UCS to rotate your crosshairs, use the RXH and SXH commands.

 
2.
Cause:

User had a line and dimension drawn in the DEFLINE layer and both were crossing the main to be moved
Solution:

The deflines layer is sensitive so move those objects out of this layer or make sure they do not cross the main
3.
Cause:

Main being moved was not broken where branchlines crossed over it
Solution:

Make sure the branchline(s) and main being moved are broken at each intersection
4.
Cause:

Unknown
Solution:

Try running the AUDIT command and allow it to fix errors.  Even if it finds no errors, Move Main worked afterward.
