Adding Part Sizes to a Parts List

Product Documentation
Intermediate
View Original

After a part family is added to a parts list, select the part sizes you want to be available in that part family.

When creating new parts lists, you first add the part families, and then add the part sizes that you want to be available within that family.

For example, for the Elliptical Concrete Pipe family, you can add only the part size of 8-inch inner pipe width, or you can click Add All Sizes to add all of the size choices that are available in the drop-down list for the inner pipe width value (for example, 8, 12, 18, etc.).

If you do not add part sizes within a part family, no content is displayed for that part family in the parts list.

For existing parts lists, you can add part sizes at any time.

Tutorial Exercise: Adding Parts to the Parts List

To add part sizes to a parts list

  1. In Toolspace, on the Settings tab, expand the Pipe Network collection, and then expand the Parts Lists collection.
  2. Right-click the desired parts list and click Edit Parts List. The Network Parts List dialog box is displayed.
  3. Click the Pipes tab to add sizes for pipe parts, or the Structures tab to add sizes for structures.
  4. Expand the parts list so that you can see the part families that are currently included.
  5. Right-click a part family and click Add Part Size. The Part Size Creator dialog box is displayed.
  6. Use the Part Size Creator dialog box to add part sizes to the current part family.

    You can select existing sizes one at a time, or you can use the Add All Sizes check box. For example, for the Elliptical Concrete Pipe part family, you can add only the part size of “8-inch inner pipe width”, or you can check Add All Sizes to add all the size choices that are available in the drop-down list simultaneously: for example, 8, 12, 18, and 24.

  7. For each part size that is added, you may also add optional properties which are not defined in the part family.

    For example, to specify a material for a pipe, add the optional Material property and enter the desired text to set the property. For more information, see Adding Append Properties to a Part Size.

  8. Click OK on the Part Size Creator dialog box.
  9. Click OK or Apply on either the Pipes tab or the Structures tab to save the changes.
