Description:

PIPEX block has attributes in wrong order and/or missing HANLE attribute DRYVOL or DV HydraCAD

Solutions:

Cause:

PIPEX block has attributes in wrong order and/or missing HANLE attribute

Solution:

The problem is the PIPEX block is not the one we currently use. It only has two attributes instead of three (HANDLE is missing), and the two attributes it does have are in the wrong order (specfically, the DIA att is first but the LENGTH att should be). This could be from a very old drawing. We have also seen similar due to a previous version of Move Main messing up, but I do not think that is the cause here. The AutoCAD ATTSYNC command is an awesome tool. To fix this - type in ATTSYNC and choose the Select option. Then, pick one of the pipe sizes and pick Yes. all of the pipex blocks will be fixed.
