Spec-Driven Piping Configuration Settings

Modified on Wed, 31 Jan 2024 at 11:38 AM

There are config.pro settings that need to be setup in order for an organization to fully and easily take advantage to the power of Spec-Driven Piping. They are:


Configuration SettingDescriptionDefault Value
pipeline_start_assembly_name
Sets the default pipeline start assembly name.pipeline_start.asm
piping_design_method
Sets the current Piping design method for pipeline modeling.
user_driven
pipeline_solid_start_part_nameSets the default pipeline solid start part name.
pipeline_solid_start.prt

display_thick_insulation
Yes - Display insulation in thick mode. No - Display insulation in centerline mode. This option can be overridden by the Thick insulation option in the Model Display dialog box.
yes
display_thick_pipesYes - Display pipes in thick mode. No - Display pipes in centerline mode. This option can be overridden by the Thick pipes option in the Model Display dialog box.
no



piping_appearance_map_file
Sets the default piping appearance map filename.
<creo_loadpoint>\text\piping_data\master_catalog\
piping_appearance.map
piping_bolt_nut_select_filePiping bolts and nuts selection file.
<creo_loadpoint>\text\piping_data\master_catalog\
piping_bolt_nut_select.csv
piping_end_compatibility_file
Sets the default piping end compatibility filename.
<creo_loadpoint>\text\piping_data\master_catalog\
piping_end_compatibility.csv
piping_fitt_category_map_file
Sets the default piping fitting category map filename.<creo_loadpoint>\text\piping_data\
sample_project\piping_fitt_category_map.csv
piping_fitt_library_dirSets the default piping fitting library directory.
<creo_loadpoint>\text\piping_data\fittinglib\
piping_insulation_dir_fileSets the default piping insulation directory filename.<creo_loadpoint>\text\piping_data\
sample_project\piping_insulation_dir.csv
piping_mcat_dir
Sets the default piping master catalog directory.<creo_loadpoint>\text\piping_data\master_catalog\
piping_mcat_dir_file
Sets the default piping master catalog directory filename.<creo_loadpoint>\text\piping_data\master_catalog\
piping_mcat_dir.csv
piping_project_data_dirSets the default Project data directory.<creo_loadpoint>\text\piping_data\sample_project\
piping_spec_dir_fileSets the default piping specification directory filename.<creo_loadpoint>\text\piping_data\
sample_project\piping_spec_dir.csv



Once your spec-driven piping text files are downloaded to a network location, you can use the Diagnostics tab of the Sync Piping Data or Select Spec Project GUIs of RsysConfig (shown below) to point your configuration to that directory. RsysConfig will automatically set 9 of the 10 bolded configuration settings based on that directory location. You can copy the location paths for these 9 settings into your organization's config.pro using Creo's Configuration Manager.

The one configuration setting most organizations have to manually path to is piping_fitt_library_dir, organization's usually have this points to the Windchill directory where their fittings are located.
