After adding all the desired bolt sets to a spec, you would set the Part Use Priority for each pipe size to get a particular set with a flange. Also, after placing a flange, you can use the substitute feature to swap between bolt sets. But using Part Use Priority in the spec sets one as the default. Hope this helps.

@@Hagerman_brettbarkman Thank you for your fast response. I knew this method. The problem is that we are a great design team and i am not sure that all the teammates do it correctly later. It seems there is no other way. 🙏

It’s true that in InfraWorks, the default lane markings (such as right turn arrows) are primarily designed for US roads. There may be a Great Britain package, but if not ⬇ However, there are workarounds to create custom lane markings for other regions: 1. Import Polygonal .shp Files: o You can import polygonal .shp files as coverage areas. o Style these areas in white or yellow to represent lane markings. o Keep in mind that coverages will snap to the terrain elevation by default, so you might need to adjust offsets to position them above the road surface. 2. Create Lane Markings in Other Programs: o Use programs like Civil 3D, AutoCAD, or 3ds Max to create the desired lane markings. o Export them as meshes. o Import the custom lane markings into InfraWorks. 3. Modify Lane Markings on a Component Road: o In InfraWorks, select a component road. o Right-click the road and choose Pavement Markings > Modify Lane Markings. o Adjust the lane markings using the in-canvas tools.

Vault only supports the same level of CAD or within two releases back. Vault 2024 only supports CAD 2024, 2023, and 2022. Vault 2025 only supports CAD, 2025, 2024, and 2023.

Design Assistant is a valuable tool in the design industry, but like any software, it has its strengths and limitations. Let’s address both aspects: 1. Strengths of Design Assistant: Time-Saving Features: Design Assistant streamlines repetitive tasks, making your workflow more efficient. For example, the Design Assistant Selection Helper predicts selections based on your previous actions, saving you clicks and time Integration with Design Software: It seamlessly integrates with design software like Adobe Creative Suite, allowing you to create and edit visual elements effectively. Your proficiency with tools like Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign is crucial for success in design roles AI-Driven Assistance: The AI-enabled features provide intelligent suggestions, helping you make informed design decisions. 2. Limitations and Areas for Improvement: Learning Curve: Some users find Design Assistant challenging initially. It’s essential to invest time in understanding its features and adapting to its interface. Specific Use Cases: While it excels in certain scenarios, it may not cover every design need. Users should explore additional tools or workflows for specialized tasks. Software Bugs: Like any software, Design Assistant may have occasional bugs or issues. It’s crucial to report these to the development team for continuous improvement In summary, Design Assistant offers significant benefits, but user experience can vary. Regular updates and user feedback are essential for enhancing its functionality.

Thank you for the suggestion! We will let you engineers know and it may be another tip that will come out soon!

Happy to help!

I am currently a mechanical maintenance technician with a process company in Nigeria. In March, last year, I lost a very good mechanical process piping engineer trainee job opportunity simply because I had no knowledge about AutoCAD drawings at all. I am currently training myself in AutoCAD drawings on youtube and today, i am pretty versed with 2D and 3D AutoCAD drawings, command tools e.t.c. Right now, I am trying to train myself to becoming a mechanical process piping designer/engineer. How relevant is blocks, especially dynamic blocks to the drawing and modelling activities of a piping designer/engineer. I just want to be sure that I am on the right path and that my efforts at learning and understanding the concept of dynamic blocks will be very expedient and handy in piping and equipment designing and modelling, quotations, routing e.t.c. because that's my end goal. Please, If you have advice or videos that will help me easily and quickly achieve this goal of mine, please help me with them and I will very most grateful for the assistance. Thanks!

@@OnyekachukwuNwani-mj9ph For any industry that uses symbology to convey information, such as the piping or electrical or civil industries, AutoCAD Blocks streamline the drawing production by treating a group of objects as 1 entity. This eases selection, placement, mass editing, etc of the unified object(s). Dynamic Blocks can be used when multiple configurations such as size changes, design or status changes (open valve vs closed valve), or positional changes are considered.

@@Hagerman Ok. Thanks a million!

Glad we could help!

You can, if you use the direct edit commands, or delete the geometry, then use the Bend command to rebuild the bends.

you save my life

That capability isn’t available in the toolset, at least none that our expert can find. The exported objects don’t have bend data within them.

We will recommend this as a topic for a new webcast! Thank you!
