To Work with Pressure Network Properties

You can view and edit pressure network properties in the panorama window, in properties dialog boxes, and in the Prospector item view.

To access pressure network properties in the panorama window

• On the Pressure Network Plan Layout ribbon tab or the Pressure Network Profile Layout ribbon tab, click Panorama .

  For more information, see Pressure Network Vistas.

The panorama window has vistas (tabs) for viewing and editing the properties of pressure pipes, fittings, and appurtenances.

To access overall pressure network properties in the Pressure Network Properties dialog box

1. Select a pressure network part. The Pressure Networks contextual ribbon tab is displayed.
2. On the Modify panel, click Network Properties Find.

   For more information, see Pressure Network Properties Dialog Box.

You can change the label styles, parts list, reference surface, reference alignment, and layers of a selected pressure network.

To access properties for pressure pipes, fittings, and appurtenances in properties dialog boxes

1. Select a pressure network part. The Pressure Networks contextual ribbon tab is displayed.
2. On the Modify panel, click the properties command.

   For more information, see Pressure Pipe Properties Dialog Box, Fitting Properties Dialog Box, and Appurtenance Properties Dialog Box.

The properties available include the reference surface and reference alignment for the part, the geometry and part data properties, and properties for connections. Some properties are read-only.

Note: The Pressure Pipe Properties, Fitting Properties, and Appurtenance Properties dialog boxes each have a Part Data section on their Part Properties tabs.

If a property listed in the Part Data section has a Value field that is blank, it means that the part does not have a value defined for that property in the part catalog.

You can use the Catalog Editor (Autodesk.Aec.Content.CatalogEditor.exe, located in C:\Program Files\AutoCAD 2016\C3D) to edit the metadata for the parts and assign values, and then you can recreate the parts in the drawing so they will have these property values and can be labeled with them. Edits that are made to the data in the Catalog Editor are not applied to existing parts in drawings.

To edit properties in the Prospector item view

1. In Toolspace, on the Prospector tab, expand Pressure Networks <pressure network>.
2. Click the Pressure Pipes, Fittings, or Appurtenances collection to display information about the items in the collection in the item view. For more information, see About the Toolspace Item View.
