This would be massively helpful for long pipe runs.

We added a tool in Civil 3D 2017 v1 Enhancements to swap pressure networks pipes, fittings and appurtenances. In addition we added a tool to analyze and update gravity networks based on HEC-22 2009 standards.
The obvious follow up questions, if you will indulge me, please.
1. Civil 3D 2017 V1 Enhancements...is this a working name for SP1, or will this be included in Service Pack 1?
2. If yes, or if no to question 1, when will this feature be released to the user base? I've just installed C3D2017 for internal testing and it's not currently an option.
This has not been implemented. There is no way to swap multiple parts for a pipe network in the current version of Civil 3D (unless you're teasing us about something up and coming or I totally missed something). The v1 enhancements allow for swapping multiple parts on a pressure network but not for a pipe network which is what this idea concerns.
There are multiple ideas posted here. Some were identical ideas posted multiple times, others were different.
They are combined here under the original heading of "Multiple Part Swap" even though it looks like 'swap parts for pressure pipes' might have actually been posted more.
I understand they are not the same thing. By calling the 2 "swap part" ideas duplicates of "swap multiple parts" it does two things: it doubles the number of kudos for swapping multiple parts and second it will remind us to make sure that any swap multiple parts tool works well swapping a single part.
Unfortunately this got forgotten again either in development or in the mistaken move to mark this idea as implemented. Either that or the request for multiple part swap for pipe networks was never actually understood in the first place.
Has swap multiple parts been implemented for pressure networks?
Can we "un-implement" this idea Peter? The feature to swap multiple gravity pipe network parts has not been implemented. We're still waiting for this very basic feature to be implemented....
This week, we released Project Explorer for Civil 3D, which contains a variety of tools to make navigating and editing a Civil 3D drawing more efficient. One of the many productivity tools included in Project Explorer is the ability to swap multiple pipe network parts.
Watch this video (at approximately 2:20) to see how to swap parts using Project Explorer.
Note swapping multiple pressure network parts has been available since Civil 3D 2017 v1 Enhancements (which was subsequently rolled into Civil 3D 2018).

See C3d pluses helpful video here, you can use the "_AECCANALYSENETWORK" command and then switch multiples from there.. (i guess you can only do it per network, still faster than doing it one by one.)
This just proves that Autodesk creates crappy, hard-to-use products by design. They obviously have the code to make the "Swap Part" command into a "Swap Parts" command, but don't seem to have the technical expertise to make it happen.
Which way is more efficient?
Going straight to a "Swap Parts" command (that replaces the "Swap Part" command)
OR
Doing the operation of running the "Swap Part" command, realize it only does one at a time, do an internet search, find 3rd party apps, try to get the boss to pay for them, get denied, do another google search, find out you can do it in a workaround method, then try to teach all of your coworkers in how to do the workaround method.
I don't recommend people buy Autodesk software for these easy-to-implement solutions that are ignored by Autodesk if they can inflict costly inefficient workarounds on their customers.
I do hate Autodesk's trail blazing development style. On the whole there pretty great products, but for advanced users we frequently run into little productivity road blocks like this one.
They just accumulate and accumulate until your purple in the face.
