How to load Routing prefrennces at once?

[danezeq]

Hey

recently, i started a new HVAC project. in this project i had Routing prefrennces all set (for round, oval and rectangular ducts).

i didn't set all the Routing prefrennces. somehow it was already set.

Now i started a new HVAC project *with the same template* and surprice - i DONT have Routing prefrennces set! i need to set them from scrach.

i'm wondering how i got all Routing prefrennces set from the first place (in the first project). it's wierd beacuse *I* was the one who started the project.

is there any way to load all the Routing prefrennces (for round, oval and rectangular ducts) at once?

i tried transfer project standards and it didn't copy the Routing prefrennces

a mystery.

If you simply copy/paste a piece of pipe/duct from the old project (with routing preferences) to the new project (withOUT routing preferences) it will copy over all of the fittings and routing preferences. But if the pipe/duct type already exists in the new project, it will not overwrite any of the routing preferences already set up.

The best thing to do would be to set up your routing preferences in a template that way you only have to do it once.

Hello,

Some suggestion, define the basics, line patterns, line weights, line styles, dimension styles, text sizes, and all other graphics.

Despite being possible to do it later, if you can define these things, they will save a lot of time.

I guess from your posts that you work with HVAC, so defining the graphics, colors and line patterns for the duct and pipe systems will help you.

Then try to define the most you can the content you need in your projects, from components, duct and pipe types, fittings, don´t forget the tags!

This is plenty of work, but I hope to give you some direction.
