To Set Defaults For Pipe Network Migration

To set the default parts list for migration

You must set the default parts list that will be used during migration before migrating pipe network data between Autodesk Civil 3D and Storm Sewers or Storm and Sanitary Analysis. Typically, you will want to create a parts list that contains all of the needed parts for the import or export. You may need to create a full parts list, containing all of the available parts in the entire catalog, or you may need to create a customized, smaller, more manageable parts list that contains only the parts included in the migrated data.

1. In Toolspace, on the Settings tab, right-click the Pipe Network collection and select Edit Feature Settings.
2. In the Edit Feature Settings - Pipe Network dialog box, expand Storm Sewers Migration Defaults.
3. For Parts List Used For Migration, click the Browse button in the Value cell to select a parts list.
4. Click OK to select the parts list.

When pipe network data is imported into or exported from Autodesk Civil 3D, this is the parts list that will be used to search for part families and part sizes.

To set part matching defaults for migrating pipe network data

You must set part matching defaults before migrating pipe network data between Autodesk Civil 3D and Storm Sewers or Storm and Sanitary Analysis. Setting the part matching defaults enables you to choose the specific Autodesk Civil 3D part types that will be matched up with Storm Sewers part types when you import and export pipe network data between Autodesk Civil 3D and Storm Sewers.

Performing this task helps avoid error messages during migration, and ensures that Autodesk Civil 3D part types are recognized as appropriate part types in the Storm Sewers Extension, and vice versa.

You may only have to perform this procedure once. However, if you are adding, deleting, or changing part types after import or export, then you would need to perform this procedure again to ensure that parts are appropriately matched between the two applications.

1. In Toolspace, on the Settings tab, right-click the Pipe Network collection and select Edit Feature Settings.
2. In the Edit Feature Settings - Pipe Network dialog box, expand Storm Sewers Migration Defaults.
3. For the Part Matching Defaults, click the Browse button in the Value cell to display the Part Matchup Settings dialog box.
4. To set the defaults that will be used when you are importing data from the Storm Sewers Extension (or from an STM file from Storm and Sanitary Analysis) into Autodesk Civil 3D, click the Import tab.
5. On the Import tab, expand each part type category in the first column, and click on an item in the column on the right to display the Browse button . For example, click in the Concentric Cylindrical Structure cell.
6. Click to display the Part Catalog dialog box.
7. On the Part Catalog dialog box, select the desired Autodesk Civil 3D part type and then click OK.
8. On the Import tab, scroll down to ensure that all part types in the first column are matched up with appropriately part types in the second column.
9. To set the part type defaults that will be used when you are exporting data from Autodesk Civil 3D into the Storm Sewers Extension (or from an STM file into Storm and Sanitary Analysis), click the Export tab.
10. On the Export tab, click in the column on the right to select appropriate parts from the drop-down list.
11. On the Export tab, scroll down to ensure that all part types in the first column are matched up with appropriately part types in the second column.
12. When you are finished matching part type defaults, click OK.
