Problem:
Why are all imported flanges from a PCF file rotated 90 deg when opened in an AutoPIPE model?
Solution:
Open and review PCF file.
First component (line #9) is a flange that was oriented along the X-axis. The next component was a pipe (Line #41) that is oriented along the X-axis. Thus causing warning flag: "W726-8: Kink in straight run at following point(s)" to occur. Since the problem is with the PCF file itself, no amount of mapping or configuring will address these import issue.
Workaround:
Choose one of the following options:
Option #1:
Manually open the PCF file and update each set of coordinates as needed to correct all kinked flanges.
Option #2:
Contact the Technical support team for the application that generated the PCF file in hopes of correcting a bad exported component from their application.
Option #3:
Open the original application used to create the PCF file and rework the component to export correctly to a PCF file.
