The AutoCAD Civil 3D part catalog contains definitions for all the pipe network parts that you can insert into a drawing. It is organized at the top level into two basic domains — one for pipe parts, such as cylindrical or rectangular pipes, and another for structure parts, such as headwalls, catch basins, and so on. Pipe and pressure pipe networks are a standard component of civil design projects. Understand how to create and work with Civil 3D tools that are critical for project success. Walk through the design workflow with project files and lessons so you can practice as you learn. I do not know you needs, or how well Pressure Pipes will work for you. I may be reading to much into your statement, but if Pressure Pipe capability is a major reason for subscribing to Civil 3D, I think you will may be disappointed. At best, Pressure Pipes are not a mature part of Civil 3D.

The pressure pipe catalog editor (Autodesk.Aec.Content.CatalogEditor.exe) can be found in the installation directory for Civil 3D:
C:Program FilesAutodeskAutoCAD Civil 3D 2013
As of now, this program allows you to edit existing parts, but not create them. This means that this is not truly a Part Builder yet.

All Civil 3D pressure pipe catalogs are stored inside of a SQLite file. The default location for this file on 64 bit Windows 7 is the following directory:
C:ProgramDataAutodeskC3D 2013enuPressure Pipes Catalog
This is the file you’ll open up in the Autodesk.Aec.Content.CatalogEditor.exe. Using the editor to change any of the values is fairly straight forward. Be careful though, as the parameters are not linked as they are in the gravity systems part builder. For example, if you change the Thickness of a pipe, do not expect the Diameter Outside to change.

Creating Parts

Creating a new pipe with a new size can be accomplished by using the Import Part command. If you create a new part without a .CONTENT file, then it’s going to create a pipe. If you do have a .CONTENT file, we would assume that you could create different types of parts. So far, we have not found any CONTENT files to create parts from.

SQLite

As a curious final note, this SQLite file is the same type of file where Map 3D stores the Industry Standard Data Model (Topobase) information when you embed the data in a dwg file. In fact, if you open the Pressure Pipe’s Part Catalog file up in a SQLite viewer, you’ll find that the schema is built off of the Topobase table structure.

How many times are you called over for pipe network “issues” only to find out that the catalog path has somehow been changed from the network share to the local cache?
** Wrong catalog path **

We could open this dialog, browse for the right location, select it, and click OK. But where’s the fun in that?

One solution is to create a registry key that resets the correct value, place that key file on the network and send a link to create a desktop shortcut pointing to this registry file. Then, users can double-click that desktop icon to reset the pipe catalog path. Easy-peasy as my girls like to say… But, how do you do all of that? Let’s dive in.

First the registry key.

The key we’re looking for is found under HKEY_Current_UserSoftwareAutodeskAutoCAD.

Next comes the version. If you’re on 2010, then you dive into R18.0 or if you’re on 2011 then dive into R18.1. So now your path looks like this with 2011:
HKEY_Current_UserSoftwareAutodeskAutoCADR18.1

If you have more than one 2011 application installed, they will all be listed here. Here’s a snapshot of my laptop:

Civil 3D happens to be ACAD-9000:409. Our path is now;

HKEY_Current_UserSoftwareAutodeskAutoCADR18.1ACAD-9000:409

Now that were at the specific version and flavor of AutoCAD, we need to find the actual key. It’s buried in the profile keys; which may be another reason why the path is different from your company default. Here’s the rest of the path;

HKEY_Current_UserSoftwareAutodeskAutoCADR18.1ACAD-9000:409Profiles{Profile Name}PreferencesAeccUiNetwork80

Once here, we are looking revise each key. It’s value should include the network resource location.

The simplest fashion to create this external key file is to make the change in Civil 3D, open Regedit and right-click on the “AeccUiNetwork80” folder and select Export. Pick a place to save the key file and you’re almost done!

Now, make sure to revise the directory location in the key file before you export OR just open the key file in a text editor, do a ‘Find and Replace’ to correct the value. Notice that the network file path requires double back-slashes to resolve correctly.

Next step create the batch file.

What we want a batch routine that copies that shortcut to the desktop for users to double-click if and when this happens again.
The contents of the batch file might look like this:

echo off
:CopyICON
REM —– Copy Icon —–
c:
cd %userprofile%desktop
if not exist “2011 Pipe Catalog Reset.lnk” goto CLEAN
del “2011 Pipe Catalog Reset.lnk”
:CLEAN
copy “I:Civil3D_AdminBAT2011 Pipe Catalog Reset.lnk” c:
:END

/dev-c2b2b-latest-version-for-windows-10-64-bit.html. The batch above will remove an existing shortcut in case it may have been modified and replaced with the shortcut stored on the network.

This batch routine is then what will be linked in the email you send to your staff.

Third, we need a shortcut that will point to the registry key file.

Side note: why do we do this? Primarily because most email programs block .REG file attachments as that is an easy way for malware/spyware/any crapware to infest your system. Also, including a shortcut in an email has the same effect of being blocked.

To create the shortcut, right-click on the registry key file already located on the network share and select “Create Shortcut.” You may want to rename it to something shorter for clarity sake.

Last, create an email.

Create an email, type some text in the email, select a word you want them to click, then right-click and select hyperlink and paste in the shortcut network path and file name and click OK. Send the email out and when users respond, they will get a new desktop shortcut they can click themselves to fix the problem.

To sum up,the user gets an email with a link. Awave studio 11.2 crack. The link copies a shortcut to the desktop. The shortcut triggers the registry key being updated. When that happens, a warning comes up like below:
Click YES and then this dialog confirms the action:

NOTE: This will take effect immediately, no need to restart Civil 3D.

Now, this same “delivery mechanism” could be used to resolve other issues. So instead of creating a specific batch file to an issue, you have a master batch file that resolves all of these types of problems.
