Ability to create a new Tube & Pipe Styles Family

[danny.lewisA9QBW]

I'd like the ability to create a new tube and pipe family (other than Rigid Pipe with Fittings, Tubing with Bends, Flexible Hose).

Even if the new family was just a copy/paste of one of the existing families but with a new name and image. Something similar to how the content center libraries allow for adding a folder and adding the image would be perfect.

It would really help sort out the various Tube & Pipe Styles that we've created.

I recently had the same needs, the pipe I needed is present in the library only as a tube, and guess what? They are not interchangeable.

I had to actually duplicate an existing pipe family, edit the family parameters, change the pipes general dimensions in the family table, do a lot of research to determine the working pressures and other mechanical properties, and even so, I was left with useless extra information inherited from the initial family just because editing the family linked parameters in a custom library is not accepted.

So yeah, at least a way of creating a new pipe family based on a existing tube standard one should be a thing.
