To Create Pipe Network Parts Lists

To create a full parts list

You can create a parts list that contains all of the part types and associated sizes that exist in the currently selected metric or imperial part catalog. It may be useful for you to create a full parts list if you are planning to import pipe networks from LandXML or from the Storm Sewers Extension.

During import, using a full a parts list that contains all of the parts that are available in the catalog can sometimes be the best option for ensuring that appropriate part types and sizes will be found when you import pipe network data.

1. On the Home tab, click Toolspace Settings tab, expand the Pipe Network collection, and then expand the Parts Lists collection. Note the names of the existing parts lists displayed in the Settings tree.
2. Do one of the following:
   • On the ribbon, click Modify tab Pipe NetworkNetwork Tools panel Parts List drop-down menu Create Full Parts List Find
   • At the command line, enter CreateNetworkPartsListFull and then press Enter.

The new full parts list is created. By default, this parts list is named Full Catalog.

To configure the Storm Sewers migration settings to always use this full parts list during import, see To Work With Setting Defaults For Pipe Network Migration.

Note: It is recommended that you do not use the full parts list while manually laying out new pipe networks or while editing existing pipe networks. Because the full parts list contains several thousand parts, navigating for parts using this large volume of available part types could be time consuming. The CreateFullPartsList feature is intended primarily to support pipe network data import.

To create a parts list

A part list is a subset of available parts in a catalog. It provides quick access to just the parts you need for a specific project.

1. In Toolspace, on the Settings tab, expand the Pipe Networks collection, right-click Parts List, and click New. The Network Parts List dialog box is displayed.
2. Click the Information tab, enter a name for the parts list and, optionally, a description.
3. Click the Pipes tab to add pipe parts to this parts list, or the Structures tab to add structure parts.
4. On either the Pipes tab or the Structures tab, right-click the parts list name at the top of the Name field and click Add Part Family. The Part Catalog dialog box is displayed.
5. In the part catalog, click the check box next to the part families you want to add, and click OK.
6. Click Apply on the Pipes tab or the Structures tabs to save the changes.
7. On either the Pipes tab or the Structures tab, right-click a part family and click Add Part Size. The Part Size Creator dialog box is displayed.
8. To add individual sizes of the part, click on and highlight the rows you want to add.
   Note: For many part definitions, optional properties are available to the part.
9. To add all available sizes of the part, place the check mark in the Add All Sizes check box.
10. Click OK on the Part Size Creator dialog box.
11. Click Apply to save changes on the Network Parts List dialog box.

Note: You can also create a parts list by copying an existing parts list and editing it, or by dragging and dropping a parts list from one drawing into another drawing.
