Hi all,
I think this question should be so easy to answer, that I am feeling a bit foolish for asking, but here goes. I am trying to set my pressure pipe catalog, but when I browse to C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\C3D 2014\enu\Pressure Pipes Catalog\ and hit open, I get a dialogue that states "There are no Pressure Network Catalogs in this folder". I have tried selecting folders farther down the list (Imperial, Imperial_AWWA_Flanged, etc) with no success. I have opened the sqlite files using the Content Editor, and I can see all the parts and sizes there. I just can't figure out how to open the catalog from Civil 3D. Any help on what I'm doing wrong would be much appreciated.
Humbly yours,
Andy

Default location for Imperial here is set to:
C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\C3D 2014\enu\Pressure Pipes Catalog\Imperial\
Hi Jay,
Thanks for the response. I have tried selecting that folder, and all I get is the message about no pressure catalogs being in that folder. Any other ideas?
Thanks again,
Andy
Hi Andy,
I did a quick test (because if I try to remap it to a folder without the catalog info) I get the same message "There are no Pressure Network Catalogs in this folder".
Copied the contents of:
C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\C3D 2014\enu\Pressure Pipes Catalog\Imperial\
To:
C:\Users\myname\Documents\Pressure Pipes Catalog\
Then was able to map to new location and map back to default location normally.
(see attached for default folder contents).
Not sure what's happening for you. 2014 SP 1 here.
Hi Jay,
Thanks for taking a closer look at things for me. I took a look at several additional computers in our office, and selecting the pipe catalog functions exactly as one would expect. Unfortunately, I think that means I am going to have to do a repair or reinstall. Not what I was hoping for, but at least it is a start.
Thanks again for your help - it is much appreciated!
Just to close the thread, I took a look at several machines around our office, and noticed that all of those machines were recognizing the various libraries with no trouble at all, so I tried a repair, which did not solve the problem. I then did a reinstall (without the full uninstall - nice feature by the way), and that appears to have fixed the issue. Not sure what caused the problem, or even how long it has been a problem for, but it appears that all is well now.
Thanks again for the extra sets of eyes and ideas!
It was an option through the Add/Remove Programs of the control panel. I'm not sure if that was there on C3D 2013 though.
I was looking through the registry and saw that there was a key/folder "AeccUiNetwork100" (for Civil 3D 2014) in this location:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R19.1\ACAD-D000:409\Profiles\<<C3D_Imperial>>\Preferences
This folder points to the gravity pipe catalogs.
In another profile, "<<Unnamed Profile>>\Preferences", there was a key/folder named "AeccPressurePipes100" containing (4) registry keys with paths to the pressure pipe catalogs.
Here is how I fixed this issue for myself. I created a new folder/Key in the registry, named "AeccPressurePipes100", in this location:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R19.1\ACAD-D000:409\Profiles\<<C3D_Imperial>>\Preferences
Then in Civil 3D 2014, I set the pressure pipe catalogs to each one and found thath the registry Keys were created in this folder.
Now I am able to create part lists with no error or problem. Hope this helps someone with reinstall.
This fix does not work for me.
I'm using Civil 3d 2017 SP1
If i naviage to my HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\Autocad\R21.0\ACAD-0000:409\Profiles\Robert (thats my profile) and look at the Preference I already have a folder named AeccPressurePipes110 with a bunch of keys (REG_SZ types) pointing to .sqlite-files.
Yet when I select the pressure pipe catalogue folder (C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\C3D 2017\enu\Pressure Pipes Catalog\Metric) i get the error message " There are no pressure Network Catalogs in this folder " even if there are several .sqlite files and corresponding dwg+img-folders....
We just upgraded to Civil 3D 2018 and I cannot get my Pressure Network Catalog to stay selected. It is the only one in the folder, and the folder location stays correct, but the actual catalog itself will not stay selected.
This is what I get when I initially select the catalog and hit OK:
This is what I get when I go immediately back to the Set Pressure Network Catalog:
I found another thread on this that led me to shcoose a different Options Profile. I was able to see and use the catalog without issue. Guess I need to figure out what is missing from the new Options Profile I created for C3D 2018.

I am having the same issues as you described. Have you found a solution? The previous comments about changing the registry did not work for me.
The registry solution i gave earlier was for Civil 3D 2014. I'm sure the folder structures/names changed since then as Autodesk is always tinkering.
Do you have the "AeccPressurePipes120" in your registry under your profile name? Check against the other profiles in the registry to see what your profile might be missing. My company installs even year versions after the first service pack so I am testing on a network slave machine. I am trying to duplicate the error/solution.
Also, did you import your profile from a previous version?
Reinstall work for me, all my setting were kept also.
