1. How can I automatically inherit the BLTREF
from a previously connected flange?
For example, when placing a flanged instrument (like a flowmeter) between two existing flanges, I want the instrument's flange to get the same BLTREF as the one it's connected to — without manually setting it.
Is there any system behavior, spec rule, or macro-based way to achieve this?
2. How can I manually set the BLTREF
attribute in E3D Design?
In some cases, I need to directly assign a specific bolt reference (e.g., /BOLT-150-STD
) to a component.
What’s the best method to do this in the model? Should I use a command line (MODIFY
) or is it possible through the element form?
