UK Pipe Fittings in Catalog Editor

[gary.blandford-hull]

In the UK version of AutoCAD MEP 2011, there are no large copper pipe elbows. They only go up to size 67mm. I need to add the missing size pipe elbows, in sizes 76mm, 108mm, 133mm and 159mm.

Looking in the apc file I understand what some of the column headers denote, such as:-

D1 = The actual connection diameter
ND1 = Nominal Pipe Size.
CEL1=Pipe engagement length or insertion distance of how far the connecting pipe goes into the fitting.
CEL2 = Pipe engagement length or insertion distance of how far the connecting pipe goes into the fitting.

but I am not sure what the following denote?

LenA1, PathA1, and LenA4.

I assume that these relate to the elbow radius path, but not sure if they are on the centre line of the elbow or the inside radius and outside radius of the elbow.

Can anyone tell me or let me have a sheet showing what all the variables mean in Catalog Editor?

Catalog Editor does not seem to be well supported in documentation.

Thanks in advance for any help.
