Unable to Adjust Embedment Depth of Anchors?

Unable to Adjust Embedment Depth of Anchors?

This seems to be a new issue. I am unable to adjust the embedment depth of anchors on existing or new projects. Whenever I attempt to input a new value, the program resets it to the previous value. I even get warnings from HILTI saying "The specified embedment depth is not within recommended values." But I am still unable to adjust the value. Please help. Perhaps its a glitch in the progam?

I had the same issue and was able to get past the glitch by:

> switching my anchor rods to something like HIT-HY 200 V3 Rebar
> was then able to change the embedment depth again
> switching back to anchor rods of my choice (AWS in my case) and was then able to make changes again

Wow! What a bummer! Thanks for the bypass. But we are waiting a HILTI solution.

William try this:

> switch the family for the cast-in-place anchor rods to HIT-HY 200 V3 HAS (this unlocks the option to edit the embed length)
> set the embed length to your desired value
> switch back to cast-in-place anchor rods and the same embed length you previously set will still be used

I am still experiencing this issue. I can not change AWS anchor length.
