User faced with issue to export pipes with Tap connection from OpenPLANT to AutoPIPE. Need help with import such Tap connections.
In Open Plant Tap ports normally placed at pipe surface and in PXF it gives pipe start from the pipe surface not from the center-line of the pipe and AutoPIPE does not connect any component placed at pipe surface and that's why it gives disconnect. See the disconnect in below snapshot
The original PXF file contains some Tap_Connection with incorrect coordinates. This issue was on OpenPLANT side and has been fixed now in OpenPLANT v08.11.09.302 and higher
Steps to avoid incorrect graphics for taps in AutoPIPE
1. Open USRCLASS.MAP file in text editor from AutoPIPE installation directory.2. Delete Tap_Connection class entry (if present) and save the file.3. Import the PXF file again and when mapping dialog prompted then map Tap connection class to Weld as shown below.
