Adding Custom Default Properties
You can add your own custom default properties to this tab by editing the SystemUserDefinedDefaultProperties.xls workbook available on the customer support web site, and then bulkloading the edited workbook into your Catalog. For more information about bulkloading workbooks, refer to Smart 3D Reference Data. Only properties for piping, electrical, and conduit systems can be added to this tab.
The interfaces for the default property values are limited to the following: IJUASASSPipingDefaults, IJUASASSElectircalDefaults, and IJUASASSConduitDefaults. You must use these interfaces for the properties that you want to add to this tab.
The categories for the default property values are limited also. For Piping systems, the categories are: Standard, Responsibility, Surface Treatment and Coating, Testing, Insulation and Tracing, and Temperature.
For Electrical systems, the categories are: Standard, Responsibility, Surface Treatment and Coating, and Cable Fill.
For Conduit Systems, the categories are: Standard, Responsibility, Surface Treatment and Coating, and Cable Fill.
