PipeNetworkSyncMode System Variable

Use a system variable named PipeNetworkSyncMode to control when to initiate the synchronization of data referenced pressure pipe networks and gravity pipe networks. This variable applies to both pressure pipe networks and gravity pipe networks.

You can use the following settings for PipeNetworkSyncMode:

Value Description
0

If the geometry of a pressure pipe network or gravity pipe network has been changed in the source drawing, the data referenced pipe network will be synchronized automatically.

Only the geometry will be checked, but if it has changed, all the data for the pipe network will be synchronized.

1

If the geometry of a pressure pipe network or gravity pipe network or the names or descriptions of the parts have been changed in the source drawing, the data referenced pipe network will be synchronized automatically.

The geometry, names, and descriptions will be checked, and if any of that data has changed, all the data for the pipe network will be synchronized.

Note: This is the default setting.
2

A data referenced pressure pipe network or gravity pipe network will always be synchronized automatically, regardless of whether the pipe network has been changed in the source drawing.
