The class 315 pipe for the first POC needs to be 2" dia. so we limited Class 315 to 2". The Schedule 40 pipe for the second POC needs to be 1.5" so we limited Schedule 40 to 1.5" dia. We have drawn in mainline on the Class 315 layer for the first POC and have drawn in the mainline on the Schedule 40 layer for the second POC. When we sized mainline for the first POC, it changed the pipe type and layer from Class 315 to Schedule 40. I'm not sure if Land F/X has always done this or if we're just now noticing it after using multiple pipe classes for mainline. Is there a way to keep Land F/X from changing the pipe class/type when we size mainline? We really need to keep the pipe for the first POC on Class 315 at 2" for it's entire length.

The system will auto-switch pipe classes when sizing, but within certain bounds.
If you have Class 1 as Schedule 40, and Class 2 as 315, you would just need to be sure that the largest available size of Schedule 40 is larger than the smallest size of 315.
As in, the system attempts to line up all the sizes together. So between any two classes, if they are not in order, it stops trying to auto-switch.
