Filtering Items:


By default, the Edit Grid will display all the pipes and nodes in the current system.  The Edit Grid can show a subset of the pipes and nodes in the system using one of the following two methods:

  1. Using the Filter to only show rows that match certain specified criteria.  For example, the data shown on the Pipe Tab can be filtered by: Pipe ID, Pipe Name, Nominal Size, Material/Sch., Diameter, Roughness or length.
    When a filter has been applied, the items displayed in the Edit Grid will also be selected in the Drawing Pane.

Note: When closing the Edit Grid after applying a filter, the items displayed in the Edit Grid will remain selected in the Drawing pane and the individual selection tool, IndividualSelectionToolButton, will be enabled thereby enabling the selection to be refined using the network diagram.


  1. Select the required items in the Drawing Pane (using the group, Selection%20tool, or individual, IndividualSelectionToolButton, selection tools) and then Click the Edit Network Data tool button MenuButton_Edit to display the Edit Grid.  Only the selected items will be displayed in the Edit Grid.  
    Note: The filter by criteria capability is not available when the Edit Grid is opened when items are selected in the Drawing Pane. 



Updating Items:


Data in the Edit Grid can be updated by selecting individual cells and editing the value directly.  Alternatively, multiple rows can be amended as a group, in a single operation, by selecting an item to be updated from the drop down list, entering a value to ‘Set’, and clicking the ‘Update Rows’ button.
