- Users A and B are both using Autodesk Civil 3D with the default pipe network catalog path (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Autodesk\Autodesk Civil 3D <version>\enu\Pipes Catalog).
- User A modifies an existing part X and uses the part in Drawing 1. The name of part X is not changed.
- User B edits Drawing 1 on her computer, and parts are referenced from the catalog. Part X is found and used, but it is the default part X, not including the changes made by user A.
Solution: User A saves the modified part with a different name, and sends the part to the catalog manager, who distributes it to User B and others. When modifying parts, users should change the part name to clearly identify the new part.
