Size

- Add Size
- Adds a new size to the list. The new size is listed as undefined in the size list. You can specify the Nominal Diameter after adding to set the size.
- Duplicate Size
- Copies the properties and dimensions of the size selected in the Size list. The new size is listed as undefined until it is assigned a unique Nominal Diameter.
- Remove Size

Piping Component Properties
Sets properties that are unique to a specific size.
Connection Port Properties
Sets values that define how the part connects to pipe or pipe components.
Size Parameters
Displays the component dimensions. These values are not automatically linked to port properties.
Hold the mouse over a size box to display important information about the parameter value. Some parameters allow you to enter special values such as zero to specify a default or flag to draw a collar.
Import Custom Geometry
Specifies the block to use for the component size. This button appears for block-based component only.
Note: When you save a block-based component for the first time, a DWG is created for the part family. The drawing contains a block for each part size and is saved to a catalog folder in
CPak Common (for example:
C:\AutoCAD Plant 3D 2024 Content\ CPak Common\sample_catalog). If the save is successful, the Block Name displayed in Catalog Editor - Sizes tab changes to match the part size ID.
Block-Based Components
- Select Model
- Displays the Select Block Definition dialog box. Specifies a block in a drawing. The block must have been converted using PLANTPARTCONVERT to assign port locations.
