Publish a pipe iPart

1. Open the pipe.ipt part you previously authored.
2. On the ribbon, click Manage tab Content Center panel Publish Part .

   The Publish Guide dialog box displays.

3. Select My Tube and Pipe Library from the list and accept the default language, and then click Next.
4. Confirm that Pipes is selected from the category list and click Next.
5. Accept the default mapping between the iPart family columns and category parameters and click Next.

   The default mapping comes from authoring. You do not have to change it.

   Note: In the mapping table, required family columns and category parameters represent a different background color from optional properties that follow.
6. Ensure that you have the three family key columns for the pipe part in the order of NPS, SCH, and PL. Click Next.
   Tip: If key columns from the published iPart do not satisfy the design, you can change the family key columns in this step. Key columns determine a part placed from the library to the assembly.
7. Specify the pipe part family properties as follows:

   Family Name:  pipe

   Family Description: Custom Welded Pipe

   Family Folder Name:  pipe

   Standard Organization:  SampleOrganization

   Note: Multiple styles can be used in a single tube and pipe run. Different styles can use different standards. So the Standards Organization and Standard information is required when you plan to use a differing standard part in a style.

   The thumbnail image of the published part is displayed.

   Note: If appropriate, you can change the thumbnail image for future use in the Content Center. Click the Browse button and select a new thumbnail image.
