SewerCAD V5.5 How to determine minimum pipe size during design

Question

I'm using SewerCAD V5.5, How can I add a restriction during the design that the minimum sewer pipe size is 200mm?

You could use the section sizes available within SewerCAD, select the minimum value as 200 mm, so software will consider and assign this minimum pipe size to the appropriate pipes.

To expand on Sushma's reply - in SewerCAD V5.5, this would be done in the Section Size Library, by unchecking the box for "Available for Design" for the sizes below the desired minimum (or removing the lower sizes from the library altogether). 
 
 If you're looking to set different minimum sizes for specific pipes, you may be interested in what the latest version can do. In SewerCAD V8i SELECTseries 5, you can set up multiple Catalog Classes, each of which contain a collection of pipes of a certain shape and material. A Catalog Class is assigned to a given pipe and the Automated Design routine will select from the list of pipes in the same catalog class that are available for design. So, you could set up two catalog classes, with the only difference being the minimum size available for design. For the pipes that have a different minimum desired size, you would select the respective catalog class. 
 
 You can also read more about the enhancements and features we've added to recent releases by navigating to the H&H Product Technotes and FAQs page - scroll down the SewerCAD section and check out the articles at the bottom, starting with "What's new in....".
