in the parts list. Even if two pipes had the same part number, you could
choose not to merge them.
In the exercises that follow you use the current version of Autodesk Inventor
Tube and Pipe to create tube and pipe assemblies, so the Use R9 Bill of Materials
check box is cleared by default.
NOTE For more information about how to migrate legacy tube and pipe drawings
to the current version, see the Autodesk Inventor Tube and Pipe Help, Tube and
pipe bill of materials book in the table of contents.
Prompt for Conduit File Names
When conduit parts are saved to your project workspace the first time, the
default file names are used, with a suffix of a 13-digit number that is generated
randomly based on your system time. The conduit file naming convention
can be customized when you enable the Prompt for Conduit File Names option.
Specify the prompt for conduit file names
1 Activate the top assembly or master runs assembly.
2 In the Model browser, right-click the Tube & Pipe Runs and select Tube
& Pipe Settings.
3 On the Tube & Pipe Settings dialog box, Application Settings pane, to
accept the default conduit part file names, clear the Prompt for Conduit
File Names check box. Otherwise, select the check box.
4 In the exercises that follow you do not need to customize the conduit
file names, clear the check box.
5 Click OK.
