Introduction

This is a once-off command to create a pipe network conversion file to match CSD pipe and structure types to Civil 3D pipe and structure parts.

Upon running the command, a file named C3DPipesXML.txt will be created.  This file will contain every pipe and structure type set up in the Global Network Settings with an opportunity to apply a matching Civil 3D pipe and structure part.

This command needs to be run ONCE ONLY - after the file is created, the user should open the file in Notepad (or equivalent text editor) and set the matching Civil 3D pipe and structure parts.

Details of the file are shown below.
