Use pipe network settings to specify the default styles and behavior for pipe network commands.
Settings are handled in a standard way throughout AutoCAD Civil 3D. You access settings using the ToolspaceSettings tab. You can control settings at three levels: the drawing level, the object collection (feature) level, and the command level. For more information, see Understanding Civil 3D Settings.
In the Settings tree, you can use the Pipe Network collection, the Pipe collection, or the Structure collection to establish defaults. Use the Pipe Network collection to specify defaults for all pipe network commands. You can change object-specific settings at this level, or override the drawing ambient settings.
The topics in this section describe only those settings that affect pipe networks and pipe network commands. For more information about the drawing ambient settings for the Pipe Network, Pipe, and Structure collections, see Specifying Ambient Settings.
