AutoCAD Based Listing (Ribbon/Toolbar/Location)

Button: Start Autolist Error Type: Missing Pipe Dimension

Description:

After Autolist has run, your drawing doesn't display any cut pipe dimensions.  Only cut vertical pipes/riser nipples are visible, but not the megenta PIPEX block

 

Solutions:

Cause:

Unknown but likely a bad PIPEX block.

 

Other things to try and likely won't help, but will promote good drawing health;

 

1. Check your External Reference list to see if you have any unnecessary drawings referenced in.  Detach ones which aren't required

2. Run the AUDIT command to fix any errors

3. Run the PURGE command and remove unnecessary blocks
Solution:

The blocks are there but invisible.  To confirm, isolate the SPRKDATB layer and you'll see the grips associated with each block.  Each magenta dot represents a cut length.

 

  

 

If you select one grip and check its properties, you'll see values in there.

 

 

Turn on the SPRKDATA layer then use ATTSYNC to synchonize all the PIPEX blocks.  You'll see the cut dimensions show up, however their rotation angle will be 0, regardless of the center dimension's rotation angle.

 

 

ATTSYNC is not a solution, just a method to prove your drawing is fubar.

 

At this point, your only solution is to start a new drawing using a Hydratec template then use the INSERTCLASSIC command to insert the problem drawing (make sure to insert at 0,0 and explode it).  You can then use the DesignCenter to bring your Layout tabs over.
