Support alignment require after place weld

Hi Folks,

I have placed support on pipeline through MDS.
Then after add weld on pipeline, each support need alignment required for iso extraction. otherwise iso's shows support is align with line.  
And support realign its take lots time consuming activity.

kindly suggest me how i can skip this step.

and i have used E3D version 2.1.0.27[Z21027-23]


Best regards,

E3D has option to align supports on branch, pipe, zone level.
most of supports will be aligned in this manner.

kindly guide me anyone have idea about above error.

thanks in advance.

Thanks Tejas, I know that, for alignment supports is possible all level. If I have use align support,  each and every support need to alignment by manually,. and its take lots of time.I have to reduce time .

I remember support is already placed on line and then after we place on any new component in line, Support is consider new member as a component reference. And its not applicable for weld.

I have tried this and found to be no issue at all.
Created a test pipe with support. ISO generated
Placed a weld in between support and compref. ISO generated well
I don't see requirement to change compref.

It could be some different issue at your end.

For batch alignment, you can make a list of ANCI and try below code

PIN1 AT CE
POS AT COMPREF
MOVE ALONG LDIR OF COMPREF THRO PIN1
SUPC
CONN PH TO FIR MEM
CONN PT TO LAS MEM

For clarity, better post isometric before and after placing weld here

Are you placing weld by command line?
I tried this approach by placing weld by component creation form and isometric is generating well without any errors.

OK, I'll check but concern is same, we want reduce our time.

i have observe one thing, problem is found only for slop line, otherwise in straight line support alignment is not required after place weld.

If it is not an issue with COMPREF, you can try following macro for aligning ANCI
make a list of ANCI and run thru $M

PIN1 AT CE
POS AT COMPREF
MOVE ALONG LDIR OF COMPREF THRO PIN1
SUPC
CONN PH TO FIR MEM
CONN PT TO LAS MEM

thanks for share my vnk17200414
