You can create a parts list that contains only the parts (pipes and structures) you will need on a specific pipe network, drawing, or project.
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.
You can create a parts list by copying an existing parts list and editing it, by creating a new parts list from scratch, or by dragging and dropping a parts list from one drawing into another drawing.
