General Pipe and Tube questions

[SCASTILLO-RMI]

1) What resource would you recommend to a noob like myself to better understand and utilize the P&T feature?

2) How does one add parts to the content library to use in P&T?

For example, we use many variations of the push-lok pneumatic fittings and associated tubing. I don't see these included in my library. Same with Tri-clover style fittings. I'm running the stock 2019 but will soon upgrade to 2021.

3) Re #2 above - are third-party libraries that include non-stock components available for d/l ? Something along the lines of Grabcad or 3D Content Central but with complete families of related parts.

Thank you

Hello!

While these are under my old profile, from before I joined Autodesk, these are links to classes I have done at Autodesk University in past years.  For the basics, they should still be valid.  Hopefully there are at least a few things in these that can help you out.  Feel free to come back with more specific questions as you learn and practice.  There are a number of T&P users in here who can help you out.  Good luck!
