Copy Fittings

Post by bhaas »

I'm using Irricad Link v17 for Bricscad.

Is there a way to copy the fittings from one object to another? For example, copying the fittings from one valve to another.

One way of doing this is by using the Change Type functionality (IRR_CHANGETYPE).
Select all of the relevant items, e.g. Valves. After adding the required fittings on the representative valve you can use the Match/Change filter to specify whether an item needs to match the selected valve, all (existing) fittings and/or, exact errors.

The Change Type tool doesn't seem to be working when copying fittings on control valves.

Hi Ben,

This appears to work well here. Are your valves different or do they have different fittings?
Remember that the Change Type tool works on changes made to the representative item. Therefore select all required valves then action the Change Type tool, click on one of the required valves and add your fittings. The "Change" option for All Fittings will automatically enable based on fittings having been added, removed or replaced.

If you issue persists please let us the know the particulars.
