When running PreparePipingComponents.exe to add the custom coordinate systems
for their custom pipe the user gets an error after selecting the first pipe opening.
Steps to perform:
1. Open the part
2. Run C:\Program Files\Solid Edge ST9\Piping Route\Piping
Utility\PreparePipingComponents.exe
3. Select "prepare pipe"
4. Dimension = 100
5. Select diameter -> an error occurs: 'Could not determine the variable table
name for the pipe length'.
Solution
This is working as designed.
In this case the user has created a pipe using a Revolve Protrusion feature.
This feature does not have the length variable as in an Extrude Protrusion
feature, hence when determining the length variable using the piping utility it
fails and the error message is displayed.
Currently the pipe utility works only when a pipe is created using "Extrude
Protrusion" feature - with the help of this variable we are able to create
different length pipes in pipe route.
Please be aware that this utility only works with ordered parts.
