[yasar_vurmazBB5FX]

Hello everyone,

In 3D Piping drawing, I select a pipe and then click properties, in the properties window Plant 3D "main piping category" does not appear in the properties window. I face in this issue only a project, other project works correctly. 

Is anyone face in this issue before? 

AutoCAD Plant 3D Version: 2025.0.1

@yasar_vurmazBB5FX ,

the selected drawing is NOT active in your Plant 3D project.
1. drawing is active in the project

2. drawing is not active in the project

[yasar_vurmazBB5FX]

Is it possible to set the drawing to be active or deactive? I cannot understand.

@yasar_vurmazBB5FX ,

No, you cannot set whether a drawing is active or inactive in your Plant 3D project.

Is it possible that this drawing comes from another Plant 3D project?

You can try via "Copy Drawing to Project..." to activate your drawing in this project.

This project created SQL Lite local database but storage on a server. One day, our server connection was lost and when I opened the project, I encountered this issue.

Hello @yasar_vurmazBB5FX 

Converting a SQLite project to SQL server causes the databases to no longer be in the project folder.
If you communicate the project file, the databases will be missing.
To convert a project with SQL server databases to SQLite, create a backup of the project from the project manager.

However, try to do this manipulation, not sure if it really works, if your SQL Server is not recognized.
To aunt !

To switch the SQLite project back to SQLServer use the conversion program "PnPProjectMaintenance.exe" which is located in the "PLNT3D" folder of your AutoCAD version.

== French ==

Le fait de convertir un projet SQLite en SQL server fait que les bases de données ne sont plus dans le dossier du projet.
Si vous communiquer le dossier du projet, les bases de données manqueront.
Pour convertir un projet avec bases de données SQL server en SQLite, créez une sauvegarde du projet depuis le gestionnaire du projet.

Essayez de faire toutefois cette manipulation, pas sûr que cela fonctionne vraiment, si votre SQL Server n'est pas reconnu.
A tanter !

Pour rebasculer le projet SQLite en SQLServer utilisez le programme de conversion "PnPProjectMaintenance.exe" qui se trouve dans le dossier "PLNT3D" de votre version AutoCAD.
