    Re: Can't edit MATERIAL in PIPE PROPERTIES 2012??? (was able to in 2011)

    Well, it lets me modify it once, but if I try it again, it won't let me.  I go back into the parts builder and the "mat" parameter is back :smileysad:

    Did you save the parameters in PartBuilder? You must save close the parameter form before the part drawing.

     

    I have no problem editing the material more than once, even after saving, closing, and reopeing the drawing.

    I keep getting read only errors....even after I change the properties of the folder from read only, it still reverts back automatically.  I finally got it to save.  Is there a way to link the parts catalog to a location on a server so I don't have to make these changes on every machine?  Right now my parts are saved uner c:/Program Data>Autodsek>C3D 2012>enu>Pipes Catalog ect....

     

    Can it be changes in my options much like my default template, block and other default locations??

    My next question was going to be "Are you networked...". I run a standalone install so don't have to think about this much. I do recall there being other posts regarding a network setup for PartCatalogs. I'm going to have to defer to others with a better grasp on this side of it. Sorry.

    2012 - I can edit the material in the Storm Sewer parts list, but not the Sanitary.

     

    Whose bright idea was it to put in "Reinforced Concrete Pipe" instead of RCP?

     

    As I have two whole pipes in the one drawing, I changed the label style manually.
