Question from Anonymous:  How can we calculate the total length used?

Answer:  Lengths are a bi-product of Creo Piping,  The best way to display this is in tables on the drawing.

Question from Colin:  How would you recommend using the same flexible hose in various routings?  Have a common part number but in multiple routings?

Answer:  Duplicate part in Creo, alternate part in Windchill, limited functionality using Flexible components within the assembly.

Answer:  Not directly,  We have a partner that can export to Revit called Srinsoft.

Question from Karol: Is XML structure customizable?

Answer:  Not really - it is formatted to work OOTB with Creo Piping and Cabling solutions.  If you are trying to work with a different 3D solution, you can use the Neutral Wire Format for cabling but nothing for piping.
