Pipe Network Catalog Settings Dialog Box

Use this dialog box to configure AutoCAD Civil 3D to access the imperial or the metric pipe network parts catalog, or to access specific pipe and structure catalogs within the imperial or metric catalog folders.

The part catalog settings defined here enable pipe network parts lists to access the content for pipe and structure shapes.

Part catalogs are set for each drawing. When in a drawing, and you switch between drawings, the catalogs (both pipe and structure) will automatically be set to the unit it was last in that particular drawing (either imperial or metric). You can alternate between drawings that use imperial or metric units without changing any settings.

Note: The default catalog unit is determined by the Drawing Units setting in the Drawing Settings dialog boxUnits and Zone tab. For new and previously existing drawings, use this setting on initialization to set the unit of measure.
