Issue:

Design line is not putting in the correct reducer, bend or pattern.

Causes:

To add a new mapping, right click in a blank spot and select New.

Under the “Button Code” option you will select the new mapping. Example a “bend”:

The options under alternates goes back to the fittings and the coding specified per part.
