Can I display additional Part Properties Geometry within the Properties Window when selecting a Pipe?

Is there a way to toggle what data is displayed under the Geometry Tab on the Properties window when a Pipe is selected?

 

For example, when I select a pipe, the Properties window has 4 main tabs: Information (Style, Name, etc), General (Layer, linetype, etc), Data (Surface, diameter), and Geometry (slope, inverts, etc.). If, however, I go into Pipe Properties from the Ribbon, under Part Properties, there exists a Geometry Tab with 30+/- lines.

 

The main goal is to include Minimum and Maximum Pipe Cover on the Properties Window for quick reference, instead of having to click on Pipe Properties in the Ribbon. I have created custom labels which display this information but, in a cluttered plan (or short pipe run), the labels become cumbersome.

You could assign PropertySets but that takes time and probably not worth it. What I dis years ago is create a custom CUI that gets partial loaded (makes it easy to move from release to release) with the double-click action on Network parts to open the Part properties. Here is a snapshot of all the dbl. click actions I have in that Partial CUI. I could probably have more, but these are the ones I seem to use often.

Hi, Jeff. Thanks for your suggestion. I was hoping to bypass the Pipe Properties menu altogether and, while I'm unfamiliar with how to go about creating a custom UI as you've suggested, I doubt it would save enough time to be worth the trouble. In any case, I'll continue to use the custom pipe labels which show minimum and maximum cover until I find out a way (if one exists) to add this info the the Properties Window.
