To Specify the Pressure Network Catalog

Prior to creating a new parts list, use the Set Pressure Network Catalog dialog box to select the catalog that will serve as the source for components used in the parts list. A pressure network parts list can contain parts from only one catalog. Each pressure network catalog is comprised of a single SQLite database.

The default pressure network catalogs contain a wide variety of pressure network parts. Parts in a catalog can include pipes, fittings (such as bends and tees), and appurtenances (such as valves).

  1. Click Home tab Create Design panel Set Pressure Network Catalog Find.
  2. In the Set Pressure Network Catalog dialog box, specify the Catalog Folder and Catalog Database File and click OK.
  3. Set up a pressure network parts list.
Note: A Catalog Editor is available for editing the metadata on the parts. The program is Autodesk.Aec.Content.CatalogEditor.exe and can be found in C:\Program Files\AutoCAD 2016\C3D. This program allows you to edit the metadata on pressure network parts, but not create them.
