I have copied my custom Pressure Pipes Catalog folder, which contains all of the .sqlite .dwg, and .img data over to a network location. The user has then copied this folder from the network location to the following location on his local machine, overwriting files that were in the folder:
C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\C3D 2019\enu\Pressure Pipes Catalog\
I have written a batch script that will modify the registry to include the pressure network locations for the company's custom profile ("HWC-2019"), for both the R22.0 and R23.0 releases:

I have verified that these registry keys are installed on his machine at the corresponding locations (see attached screenclip).
I have verified that the support file search path to the location is included via the OPTIONS dialog box for the corresponding custom profile (see attached screenclip).
I have verified we are using the same version of AutoCAD C3D (see attached screenclip).
I have verified that the pressure pipe catalogs exist at the correct location via windows explorer (see attached screenclip).
And I have navigated to that location with the user, attempting to set the pressure network catalog to that destination (see attached screenclip).
I continue to receive the error: "There are no Pressure Network Catalogs in this folder" (see attached screenclip).
The configuration on my machine is identical, include the software version, registry key values, etc.
Someone help! I'm not going to get my user base to agree to use Pressure Networks when I can't even get them access to the catalogs!
Thanks,

Solved! Go to Solution.
I don't know if pressure pipe networks work like gravity pipe networks in this respect, but …
We copied our standard pipe catalog folder to the server and everyone sets their catalog to that folder. Have never had any issues other than I have to update new/changed structures regularly.
Turns out nothing really worked except an uninstall/reinstall of the user's software, at which point everything worked out just fine.
Just a stray cosmic ray, I guess.
