paul,
Your info is a little out of date.
it is possible to do this (and many weird configurations) on several different software programs that I have , and the results have been proven under testing.

This must be an urgent question since the message has come in for approval 3 times already.

Elbolets (I assume you are referring to an elbolet) are odd creatures and I doubt that any programs cover this fitting.

Do you *really* need an elbolet (or if I am misunderstanding, a WOL on an elbow)?

Sounds like a homework question.
