I'm using 2015 MEP AutoCAD to model Sanitary pipe. Every time I try to add pipe there is a prompt wanting me to choose a part. I've been able to get rid of it by going into the routing preference and purging a preference that reads "_TEMP_Sanitary PVC." I already have that preference set up without the "TEMP" in front of it. when I purge it I can then create my pipe with out the prompt. However after I create the one section of pipe I think it creates the TEMP preference again, which makes me repeat this process. How can I get autoCAD to stop making these TEMP routing Preferences?
Would it be possible for you to post your drawing here so I can talk a look at it? I have not seen this before.
In AutoCAD 2015 on the new startup tab go to the Learn section and watch the video entitled "Creating a Piping System". At the 24 second mark the routing preferences are shown in the style manager. You can clearly see that there are two TEMP routing preferences located there also.
A buddy of mine sent this link for AutoCAD MEP 2015 (have not seen a solution for 2016 yet):
He siad it didn't work for him but I'm not sure of all the conditions.
Will keep chasing this...thanks - db
