    Default Duct Property Set

    When you draw a new duct, it brings in the Property Set "DuctEngineeringData" with that duct. Anyone know if it is possible to bring in another Property Set ("DuctObject" for example) with it?

    I know I can add it afterward through the Extended Data tab, but I am trying to streamline this for, how should I put this... the less streamlined drafters in our office...

    Hi Buzz,

    The way I understand it, only style based property sets can be automatically added with an object but check out the post named "Property Set Tools" on David Koch's blog.

    The genius that is David Koch has come up with a way to add multiple PSD 's with a single click.

    Some see the glass as half full, others as half empty. As an engineer I see the glass as twice as big as it needs to be. ~Unknown~

    Woohoo! I figured it out...

    You just have to apply the pset to the label curve style for the duct - works great

    Also, another way to accomplish this was to have the Definitions be a part of the DuctEngineeringData Property Set in the template drawing.
