I try to import PCF file to AutoPipe but the material doesn't transfer, would you please help me how I can fix it?
Thanks,
Greetings,
See WIKI here to learn how a material is mapped to an existing AutoPIPE material, and what happens if a existing material is not available in AutoPIPE.
In short, AutoPIPE must have your exact material in the material library that was / will be selected on the General Model Options dialog. If the material is not there, then see WIKI here for options available to you to create a new material in AutoPIPE.

Thanks Mike.
I am a new user, and when I import PCF file (Plant3d) to AutoPIPE ,Schedule and material are wrong just the OD and the dimension are correct.
even very normal material. can you help me to solve the problem.
Greetings Bita,
The wiki pages mentioned above will help you understand how the pipe schedule and material are mapped and imported. With the latest version of the PCF translator installed with AutoPIPE 12.08.03.00.015, the user can control some attribute mappings.
hope this helps.
Thanks Mike,
