Cannot place General Wye in AutoPLANT

AutoPLANT V8i SS4 and SS5 (tested both)

AutoCAD 2012

Hi Everyone,

It seems like it is not possible to place a General Wye in AutoPLANT.  I added them to the CS150 spec, and the placement starts out fine but once you enter the CTR_END measurements in the dialog and press ok, you will see the following error at the command line:

Unable to insert Wye.
Could not identify the branch and run indices.

I ran it in debug mode, and I was able to trace it back to TEE.EBS, where the function attempts to determine whether the centerlines of the component are symmetrical or not.  This function fails somehow and that's where the error comes in.

I was able to work around this by modifying the methods.ini file entry for AT_GENERAL_WYE as follows:

[AT_GENERAL_WYE]
ORIGIN_METHOD = %APP_DIR%\Util\Origin ; at_Wye_determineOrigin
DRAW_METHOD = %APP_DIR%\Draw\genWye ; at_GeneralWye_draw
ORIENT_METHOD = %APP_DIR%\Util\Orient ; at_Wye_determineOrientation
INPUT_METHOD = Common\GenWye ; at_GeneralWye_DlgInput
CENTERLINE_METHOD = %APP_DIR%\Util\Ctrline ; at_Wye_Centerline
PORT_METHOD = %APP_DIR%\Util\Ports ; at_Wye_definePorts
;EQUIV_PORTS_METHOD = %APP_DIR%\Util\EqPorts ; at_InlineASym_determineEquivPorts                         //THIS METHOD WOULD NOT PLACE THE WYE
EQUIV_PORTS_METHOD = %APP_DIR%\Util\EqPorts ;at_Wye_determineEquivPorts
TAP_PORT_METHOD = %APP_DIR%\Util\TapPorts ; at_Tee_determineTapPortLocation
PROP_METHOD = Common\CompProp ; at_ComponentProperties_set
DATA_METHOD = Common\PipeData ; at_Piping_Data
COORDS_METHOD = %APP_DIR%\Util\Coords; at_Wye_defineCoords
JSM_OUT_METHOD = XCHG\JSM\GenWyeOut ; JSM_OUT_GENWYE
PCF_OUT_METHOD = XCHG\PCF\TeeOut ; PCF_OUT_TEE
;VALID_DATA_METHOD = Common\Tee ; at_Wye_validateAngles //                                                THIS METHOD WOULD NOT PLACE THE WYE
VALID_DATA_METHOD = Common\Tee ; at_Wye_validateAnglesMain
CHANGE_PLANE_METHOD = %APP_DIR%\Util\chgpl ; at_BendBranch_changePlane
SPEC_UPDATE_DATA_METHOD = Common\SpecUpd ; at_SpecUpdate_NoUpdate
COG_PIPING = Common\BomDescr ; at_Branch_cog

This uses the same methods as the true wye for the adjusted (highlighted items) above.  I think this should be logged as a defect so I am reporting it, but this workaround suits us for now.  Thanks!!
