Sharing pipeline connectors with Autodesk AutoCAD Civil 3D
You can
export pipelines and their connectors to IMX format. If you plan to import the IMX pipeline file into AutoCAD Civil 3D, you can assign a network attribute to it in the
Properties Palette. Then, when you import the pipelines, you can add them to an existing network of the same name in AutoCAD Civil 3D.
Note: The basic sketch pipeline tool will create generic, style-based pipelines. In contrast, users of Drainage Design for InfraWorks 360 can sketch some drainage features that use component object parts.
