Tubing Styles in AIP

[Anonymous]

I realize that having upgraded to AIP and posting this question is likely to make me a very unpopular person on this NG, but here goes...
When AIP was demo'd to me early last week, I was shown how the tubing router works and led to believe that I could create my own styles of tubing. I work primarily with DIN 1630 and DIN 2391 steel seamless small diameter metric tubing. So far, after installing AIP, I have found no way to create my own tubing styles, only to modify or copy and then modify existing styles. Unfortunately, this isn't helping me because I can't change tubing OD's and Id's from the standards which are already established. Has anyone with AIP gotten this to work? and could you clue me in on how, 'cause I'm just not finding it. Thanks.

1) Create an iPart for the standard.
2) Click on the Create Fitting icon on the part modeling panel bar.
3) Enter all of the information and publish it to the library.

Once the standard is published to the library, you can select it from the
Style dialog.

Quite a bit of information is captured when you publish a pipe or fitting.
You should probably review the help topics before you go through the
process.

Thanks. From what I saw in the Help files it appeared that publishing was for parts only. I'll take another look.
