Automatically selection of Route preference in function of the system

[marco.defina]

Hello,

i created my system preference, route preference and Label preferences.

My question is: when i change the system it's possible that the program select the default material and label?

Example when i select steam automatically change the material in Iron, or when i change in water automatically change in Plastic...

A image that indicate what i will in one click:

Hi,

You can get the functionality that you want if you start your pipe add command from a tool palette tool.  The tool palette tool will automatically set these values for you based on what you preset them too.  You can copy one of the out of the box tools and use it as a base line.  Right click on it, copy it, and then go to properties and set it up the way that you want.  

You can start with a tool from the pressure pipe palette.  Copying anyone of these will get you what you need.  Below is a picture of what the properties look like and the available settings that you can preset.  The same information is true for other mep objects also such as duct, conduit, and cabletray.

Ok here i can set the property, but in tool palette i have standard routing preference. I set all my system preferences in Style management IMAGE 1, but i don't find in tool palette IMAGE 2.

I think i need to modify the "system preference(Global).dwg" file. IMAGE 3

Or it's sufficient to change this file with my personal template (dwt). I see it works fine.

It's better to use your file. It makes it easier when upgrading.
