You can create a parts list that contains all of the part types and associated sizes that exist in the currently selected metric or imperial part catalog.
It may be useful for you to create this master parts list (full catalog) if you are planning to import pipe networks from LandXML or from the Storm Sewers Extension.
Once the full parts list is created, that is the parts list that you would use when importing pipe network data.
During import, using a full a parts list that contains all of the parts that are available in the catalog can sometimes be the best option for ensuring that appropriate part types and sizes will be found when you import pipe network data.
After creating a full parts list, you may want to configure the Storm Sewers migration settings to always use this full parts list during import. For more information, see Setting the Default Parts List For Migration.
It is recommended that you do not use the full parts list while manually laying out (creating by layout) new pipe networks or while editing existing pipe networks. Because the full parts list contains several thousand parts, navigating for parts using this large volume of available part types could be time consuming. The CreateFullPartsList feature is intended primarily to support pipe network data import.
- On the Home tab, click Toolspace
Settings tab, expand the Pipe Network collection, and then expand the Parts Lists collection. Note the names of the existing parts lists displayed in the Settings tree. - Do one of the following:
- From the ribbon, click the Modify tab Pipe NetworkNetwork Tools panel Parts List drop-down menu Create Full Parts List
- At the command line, enter CreateNetworkPartsListFull and then press Enter.
- From the ribbon, click the Modify tab
The new full parts list is created. By default, this parts list is named Full Catalog. You may want to rename this to suit your needs.
To configure the Storm Sewers migration settings to always use this full parts list during import, see Setting the Default Parts List For Migration.
