There are a few preparatory tasks to perform before migrating data between AutoCAD Civil 3D and the Storm Sewers Extension.
The table below summarizes these tasks.
| Task | Description |
|---|---|
| Verify that your pipe network data meets the necessary criteria for migration | Review the criteria for migrating pipe network data. For more information, see Criteria for Migrating Pipe Networks. |
| Create the parts list that will be used during migration | When you import or export pipe networks between AutoCAD Civil 3D and the Storm Sewers Extension, a parts list that contains appropriate parts for the import or export is required. You will need to create this parts list first, before you begin importing or exporting the data. 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 smaller, customized parts list that contains only the parts included in the migrated data. For more information, see Creating a Full Parts List or Creating a Parts List. |
| Set the part matchup settings that will be used during migration | In Toolspace, on the Settings tab, you need to configure defaults that will be used for matching up part types between AutoCAD Civil 3D and the Storm Sewers. For more information, see Matching Part Types (Part Matching Defaults) When Migrating Pipe Network Data . |
| Choose the default parts list that will be used during migration | In Prospector, on the Settings tab, you also need to choose the default parts list that will be when you migrate data between AutoCAD Civil 3D and the Storm Sewers. For more information, see Choosing the Default Parts List For Migrating Storm Sewers Data. |
Optionally, you may want to create a label style for displaying labels for hydraulic properties, such as hydraulic grade lines and energy grade lines in pipe networks. For more information, see Labeling Hydraulic Properties in Pipe Networks.
Topics in this section
- Criteria for Migrating Pipe Networks
To successfully migrate pipe network data between the Storm Sewers Extension and the AutoCAD Civil 3D, the pipe network data must meet certain conditions.
- Setting Part Matching Defaults for Migration
You must set part matching defaults before migrating pipe network data between AutoCAD Civil 3D and Storm Sewers or Storm and Sanitary Analysis.
- Setting 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 AutoCAD Civil 3D and Storm Sewers or Storm and Sanitary Analysis.
