Standardized Data Tool Extension: Populating .NET Property Definitions for Pressure Pipe Network objects

[kafmilpon]

Hi,

I'm a new user of the Standardized Data Tool extension; I think it's a really useful tool that can sync a lot of property sets in just a few clicks. But I found that I can't populate/update the Pressure Pipe Network objects property set definitions no matter how many times I press save. I'm following this Autodesk Interoperability Tools video Standardized Data Tool - Synchronizing Data - YouTube

by clicking Save (_qsave) it should do the following in the commandline:

• Verifying formula property definitions have sister property definitions...
• Updating object's sister property definitions...
• n Formula Properties synced with sister values...
• Verifying .NET property definitions exist...
• Updating object's .NET property definitions...
• x NET Property Set Definitions updated...

The problem is I always get 0 NET Property Set Definitions updated...

From the video I linked, it seems they only clicked Save to update all those .NET properties, and by the end of the video they were able to sync and populate the Pressure Pipe property sets on the spreadsheet file. 

Is there a step I'm missing before doing the whole Save thing to update the sister properties+.NET , or is there any other way to populate the Property Set Definitions of .NET Properties, the ones without formula properties, like Pressure Pipe Network objects?

You're on the right track with the Standardized Data Tool (SDT) and how it integrates with Property Set Definitions (PSDs) in AutoCAD Civil 3D via the Interoperability Tools from Autodesk. However, your issue—where "0 NET Property Set Definitions updated" is returned—points to a known limitation or required configuration when dealing with Pressure Pipe Network objects, especially those using .NET properties (i.e., object-level native Civil 3D properties exposed via the .NET API, not formulas).     DogTranslatorApp 2025

Hi cleva,

Thank you for replying. I have to correct myself that it's not always "0 NET Property Set Definitions updated", I've tried with the other sample project files that comes with the Extension download, and it does give me some number instead of zero. But when I check the Pressure Pipe objects, the property set object definitions are still blank and not populated.

I do understand that there's a known limitation in fetching Pressure Pipe Network property sets but I wonder how the video I linked in my original post managed to populate their Pressure Pipe Network object property sets by just clicking save.

https://youtu.be/UD6qn5kOyK4?si=H6Q_K5DpSJjIcvFU&t=169 This is at 2:49 mark in the video (364 NET Property Set Definitions updated)...

https://youtu.be/UD6qn5kOyK4?si=wma6CqMTkF40JSbG&t=770 And they were able to sync and export the Pressure Network Object Property Set Definitions to the Job Data file at 14:33 mark

But when I do it, using the same sample project file Model-Utility Design, and attaching the same extended data property sets, it's only 24 NET Property Set Definitions updated... And the Pressure Pipes and Fittings and Appurtenances Property Set Definitions are blank 

I also tried in other sample project files with Attaching Extended Data only on Pressure Pipe Network objects and yes that gives me the 0 NET Property Set Definitions updated instead...

It seems I'm missing something. I'm using the Civil 3D 2024 Extension too.
