Pipe Style

Anonymous — Mon, 18 Feb 2019 15:12:45 GMT

Hey guys, i'm trying to beef up our plumbing department on inventor, and I need to create my own custom pipe style before I can create our Tube and Pipe style. I have no problems editing/creating the Tube and Pipe styles, it's just specifically the Pipe style. I need to use custom fittings we use that aren't in any of the Inventor libraries. Can anybody link me to some help for this?

Create your own custom folders in CC and publish your custom files. Then you should be able to add the custom parts in to the styles, if I am following what you are after.

T&P styles only encompass elbows and couplings (if you exceed the max length of the pipe style. The components you defined must be in a custom read/write content center library. The way I read your posting it sound like you don't have that. Is that true? If yes that's your starting point.

@cbenner your thoughts?

Hello! >>Start here<<. This class I did in 2014 covers all of the very basics of getting started. It discusses creating Content libraries, authoring and publishing pipes and fittings, creating T&P styles, and getting started with routing your pipe runs. Look through this and then come on back with any additional questions.
