Section 1, Introduction:
1.1 Description:
MSI Extended Library modules are designed to enhance the usability of the Solidworks Pipe Routing
Add-In. (This manual generally uses the Schedule 40 Stainless Steel extended library as an example. See
Appendix D for specific component files for each of the library modules.
Additional MSI extended libraries are expected to be developed. Check back periodically for new library
modules at: http://www.msioregon.com/SW_Products.html
If required components do not appear to be offered, please contact MSI for custom development,
availability, and pricing: MSI@MSIOregon.com
1.2 The need to verify accuracy:
The user must check all critical dimensions before use:
1. For the sake of file size and model efficiency, many components have been "simplified". One
example of this is that the ribs on various pipe fittings have not been included. The user needs
to evaluate if these simplifications are acceptable within their designs.
2. While standards may apply, such as the ASME 16 series there may be considerable variations
with actually purchased components. Some sizes (especially larger sizes) have not been verified
with standards. Consideration should always be made with NPT fittings since thread
engagement may vary in actual use.
3. Many dimensions for a number of pipe components are not published or are difficult to
determine. Some models dimensions have been derived or estimated.
1.3 The Need to Verify Availability:
All sizes should be verified to have a reasonable delivery before use.
1.4 General Comments:
No engineering advice is being offered for designs or for the use and selection of any of the extended
library components.
All extended library components use custom "Description" properties to automatically populate route
drawing BOM's. Therefore a Description column may need to be added to drawing BOM's. The result
will be that the description for all piping components within the extended library will be automatically
populated within BOM's. Description properties may need to be modified through editing the
$PRP@Description values in the design tables of the components.
The color, material and other minor changes have also been made to SW standard routing components
within the extended library.
Page 3
MSI extended library parts follow MSI's general guidelines (Appendix A).
1.5 Please Do Not distribute MSI extended Library files:
The user is free to use these components during the course of normal engineering designs. A
considerable amount of time and effort has been spent in developing the MSI Pipe Library. Therefore,
the user is asked to respect the End User License Agreement, especially to not to distribute or upload
MSI part component files to websites or to non-licensed users (please see Appendix C).
1.6 System Requirements:
Solidworks Premium 2013 or above with the "Piping and Routing" add in.
Section 2, Installation of MSI Extended Libraries:
2.1 Solidworks Standard Piping Design Library Rules:
Generally, when using Solidworks Pipe Routing there are three important rules that should be
understood and followed:
Rule 1: All routing and piping files should be located under the Solidworks standard Routing Library
Paths. Pipe files should be located in the C:\ProgramData\SolidWorks\SolidWorks 2013\design
library\routing\ Piping\Pipes directory. (If a different version than SolidWorks 2013 is being used
the path should be modified appropriately.)
The directory locations for the component files:
MSI Module Directory
Sch 40 Brass C:\ProgramData\SolidWorks\SolidWorks 2013\design library\routing\
Piping\Sch 40 Brass
Sch 40 Galvanized C:\ProgramData\SolidWorks\SolidWorks 2013\design library\routing\
Piping\Sch 40 Galv
Sch 40 Sprinkler C:\ProgramData\SolidWorks\SolidWorks 2013\design library\routing\

Sch 40 Steel C:\ProgramData\SolidWorks\SolidWorks 2013\design library\routing\
Piping\Sch 40 Steel
Sch 80 PVC C:\ProgramData\SolidWorks\SolidWorks 2013\design library\routing\
Piping\Sch 80 PVC
SS Tri-Clamp C:\ProgramData\SolidWorks\SolidWorks 2013\design library\routing\
Piping\SS Tri-Clamp
Welded C:\ProgramData\SolidWorks\SolidWorks 2013\design library\routing\
Piping\Welded
HDPE C:\ProgramData\SolidWorks\SolidWorks 2013\design library\routing\
Piping\HDPE
Page 4
Note: The Welded Flange module is an extension of the Welded component library and therefore
does not require a specific pipe.
Rule 2: No two part files within this path should ever have the same file name. Therefore all routing
components that have been copied and improved have been renamed.
Rule 3: Once used in a design, the name and directory locations of individual Piping Components
should not be changed. If changes are made, links will be broken and will need to be manually
corrected.
2.2 Installing the MSI Extended Library:
Step 1: Download and unzip the MSI Library file into a "C:\2013 MSI Routing Library" directory. (Note:
This directory is not mandatory. The library files are 2013 but can be copied into later versions of
Solidworks.)
The resulting directory should be as is shown below. (Note: SW 2013 is used as an example throughout
this tutorial. Newer versions of Solidworks will need to be modified accordingly).
Step 2: This PDF file should be opened and followed to complete the remaining installation.
Step 3: Double Click on "SS pipe.exe" (or the appropriate "pipe" file provided) which will begin the
Unzip process. When the dialogue box opens, verify that the "Extract to" location is:
C:\ProgramData\SolidWorks\SolidWorks 2013\design library\routing\ Piping\pipes. (The SolidWorks
2013 designation may need to be changed appropriately for newer versions).
Step 4: Double Click on "SS NPT.exe" (or the appropriate "component" file provided) which will begin
the Unzip process. When the dialogue box opens verify that the "Extract to" location is per the chart
below

the "Welded" files have not been previously installed, they need to
download and installed first. )
HDPE C:\ProgramData\SolidWorks\SolidWorks 2013\design library\routing\
Piping\HDPE
Example for SCh 40 SS is shown below. (The SolidWorks 2013 designation may need to be changed
appropriately for newer versions).
If the target directory and some component files already exist, it may be best to have the original files
renamed as "copies".
Page 6
2.3 Setting up Pipe Routing:
Step 1: "Pipe Routing" needs to be added in within Solidworks by selecting the Add-ins as is shown
below:
When the dialogue box below is displayed. Check the Solidworks Routing options as is shown below:
Note: Routing is only available in Solidworks Premium and above.
Page 7
When Routing is activated, and a part or assembly or drawing file is opened, "Routing" will be displayed
in the toolbar:
The Routing menu will reveal the following options:
Step 2, open the "Routing Library Manager":
Page 8
Step 3 When the Routing Library Manager is open, the Routing Library and Routing Template directory
locations need to be defined. Select the Routing File Locations and Settings Tab (as is shown below):
The window shown below should be visible.
If the Routing Library directory path is not correct, use the <Browse> buttons on the right (arrow A
below) and select the required path. When done the Routing Library directory should be as is shown
below (refer to section 2.2 above for more information).
The template directory should also be set (see arrow B below). Again, the use of the <Browse> button
(towards the right) should be used to identify the location to the MSI route Templates location. This file
can be moved to any location on the HD but the "C:\MSI Routing Library" directory is a good location.
The routing template path could be, "C:\2013 MSI Routing Library\MSI Route Templates.asmdot".
Page 9
As subsequent versions of Solidworks are loaded, new templates files can be added but they must have
a different name. Such as, "2013 MSI Route Templates.asmdot" or "2014 MSI Route
Templates.asmdot".
Step 4: Once the Routing File Locations and Settings are correct, they should be saved (refer to the right
arrow shown below).
Selecting the <Save Settings> button will allow a location for the Routing Settings. A good location for
the first Solidworks version is "C:\2013 MSI Routing Library". However, as subsequent versions of
Solidworks are installed, additional directories may be needed.
Page 10
Step 5, Setup Piping and Tubing Database:
After the Directories have been properly defined, and the files have been copied, the Piping and Tubing
Database needs to be rebuilt. Under the Routing Library Manager, (1st) select the Piping and Tubing
Database Tab. (2nd) select the Import Data button. (3rd) select the Synchronize button.
This process may take several minutes but when the process is successful, piping components that have
been added under the Routing Library directory path will be included into the database.
Note: If any components in the MSI Extended Library are added, the Piping and Tubing Database will
need to rebuilt.
Page 11
Step 6, Setting the Route Properties Template:
When the Routing Library directory locations have been properly designated, the MSI Routing
Templates will be automatically loaded. This location is important for loading, saving and reloading if
needed.
1st: As shown below, select the "Route Properties" tab.
2nd: Add New, or Copy and Edit the appropriate "template name" as needed. See highlighted names
below.
Page 12
3rd: By using the browse button, locate and select the appropriate "pipe" file, per the Template shown
below. If the file is not available, the appropriate MSI Pipe module may need to be downloaded and
installed.

4th: By using the browse button, locate and select the appropriate "90 deg elbow" file, for the Template
as is shown below. If the file is not available, the appropriate MSI Pipe module may need to be
downloaded and installed.

5th: Save the Route Properties Template. When saved, (if everything is correct) the updated file will be
saved at the "C:\2013 MSI Routing Library" location).
Step 7, Design Library Setup:
With the files copied to the appropriate directories and the location of the Template directory defined,
the library parts can be added to the Design Library.
First, check if "Piping" is in the Design Library (see below). Note that while the "Piping" directory is
located under the "Routing" directory, both can be added to the Design Library. By adding the "Piping"
directory, a short cut is creates.
Page 14
If the "Piping" library does not appear in the Design Library (as is shown above) select the <Add File
Location> (the right arrow shown below). The dialogue box will appear and the
"C:\ProgramData\SolidWorks\SolidWorks 3013\design library\routing\piping" folder should be selected.
When "OK" is selected the components in the Piping directory will be available in the Design Library.
Step 8, Verify the Piping Component location in the Design Library:
If multiple versions of SW have been loaded, the Piping Component Path should be verified for each
version of the SW Design Library.
Note: If the piping component paths are directed for the wrong version of SW, piping components in the
library will be updated and resaved to the newer version of SW. If this occurs the saved components will
not be useable for the older version of SW. If there are any warning messages about updating pipe
component files during an attempt to save a pipe assembly or part file, DO NOT save. The work will be
lost, but the file should be closed without saving and redone after the path has been corrected.
If even only some of the piping components are updated to a newer version of SW, it is recommended
that the entire piping library be restored from the original download or from appropriate backup files to
the appropriate version of SW. The extended library files are in version 2013 and can be easily refreshed
by following the first step under 2.2 to any version of SW 2013 or later.
To verify the path of the Design Library, right click on the Design Library, "Piping" icon (as is shown
below). The dialogue box should appear. Left Click on the "Open Folder". The Windows Explorer
window should open and reveal the location/ version of SW that is associated with the piping
Page 15
components. If the piping component directory is located "under" the correct version of SW (shown
below, to the right) then Cancel out of the window (by selecting the "X" in the upper right corner of the
Window Explorer window). If the version is not correct, then the "Piping" location in the Design Library
tree should be "Deleted". This can easily be done by selecting "Delete" (also shown below to the left)
and then re-adding the Piping Location by following the directions provided under "Step 7, Design
Library Setup:" (described in the section above).
If the correct path was selected the Design Library should have the MSI Piping directories and sub-
categories shown below.
Page 16
When each of the sub-directories are selected in the Design Library, the available components will be
shown in the bottom pane. The components can then be used by "dragging-n-dropping" into the
project assembly model:
Page 17
Step 9, Add shortcuts and setup the Solidworks Tool bar:
Right click in the Solidworks toolbar and select "Piping" ("A" arrow shown below). This will
activate the Piping Tool Bar.
Page 18
Right click in an open space (again) inside of the Solidworks Toolbar and select "Commands".
The drop down box shown below should appear. When "View" selected, some of the piping
Icons will be displayed.
Drag the "View Routing Points" and the "View Sketches" buttons to the tool bar. These buttons
will later be handy when working within Routing projects.
Step 10, Save the Solidworks settings:
Once the above changes have been made it is recommended to save the Solidworks Settings:
Start/All programs/Solidworks 2013/Solidworks Tools/Copy Settings Wizard. Save the settings
in a location where they can later be restored. One possible location could be the "C:\2013 MSI
Routing Library" directory.
Step 11, Reference Materials (if appropriate):
Links to product Catalogs and design charts have been added to most of the Design Binders. While MSI
makes no claim of ownership or for accuracy these links are added to assist in the design process.
These references materials are also available through: MSI Design References
Page 19
To add a quick reference to your desktop, open the reference above and drag the "Web Symbol" (as is
shown below) to the desk top. This will allow the references web page to be quickly displayed.
2.4 Some Common Errors:
2.4.1 If the following warning appears when starting a new pipe route:
If some of the setup steps described above have not been implemented correctly, the error box
below may be displayed:
The above error could be the cause of a number of setup issues.
1. The part has not been set up properly. The steps to load and setup the Routing Library
Manager and Routing component Wizard should be verified.
2. The part has not been added into the Piping and Tubing Database. This can be corrected by
processing the part through the "Routing component Wizard" or by Synchronizing the
Database.
3. The template has not been setup properly. The routing Template should be verified though
the Route Properties Manager. However, sometimes the error message appears when steps
1 and 2 are correct and the Routing Template is correct. In such a case, it may be necessary
to select a different elbow in the Routing Template (verify that the correct template has
been selected) and then re-select the correct elbow the second time. Apparently, the
process of the re-selection refreshes and corrects an internal error to the Template.
However, if the same elbow, even if it is correct is reselected, the Template will not be
updated.
Page 20
4. Many times this warning can be ignored. To continue:
a. If everything is correct, select "OK".
b. Open the Select Template drop down (A below):
c. The desired type of pipe should be selected (as shown by B above). Continuing on, a
short pipe "stub" should be created.
2.4.2 If the following warning appears when starting a new pipe route by dragging and
dropping:
This warning does not appear often and it is not clear why it is generated. A work around is to
save and close the current assembly, then to open the part in question. While the part in
question is open, re-open the assembly and reattempt to drag and drop the piping component.
Page 21
Section 3, using the extended Library components in Pipe Routes:
If you are familiar with SolidWorks Pipe Routing, the extended library modules are ready for use.
If you are new to Pipe Routing, it is recommended that you purchase and work through the MSI
SolidWorks Piping tutorial. This tutorial is available at http://www.msioregon.com/SW_Products.html
3.1 Using the MSI SS Sch 40 Extended Library (example):
When the library and Solidworks are setup properly the deign library will include "Sch 40 SS". These
components can be used per standard SolidWorks practices:
When Pipe Routs are started with SS components, when the Route Properties dialogue Box is displayed,
(shown below) MSI SS NPT should be selected.
Page 23
Section 4, Appendices:
Appendix A, MSI Library Rules:
1. Whenever reasonable part files should include multiple configurations of parts.
2. Design Tables should be used and a "Description" column for automatically filling in Bill of
Material tables ($PRP@Description).
3. The Custom Description Property is useful to identify if a part file is a single part or if it includes
a number of configurations (example: 1/2" to 24" Slip Flange would indicate a multi
configuration part file).
4. PDF's with catalog and or critical design information should be noted or linked in the Design
Journal.
5. To allow for efficient use of library parts, the number of components per family should be kept
in groups of about 20 components. Thus eliminating excessive scrolling. Where it is
appropriate for assemblies to be in the library, all parts that are not usually individually used
should be placed into a sub-folder under the "parent" folder. The number of parts in the "Parts"
folder may be more than 20 since these individual parts are not commonly used.
Appendix B, MSI Flanges and Gaskets:
At least in the older versions of Solidworks, MSI has found flanges and gaskets to be problematic. The
following components have been developed as a work around for these issues and will be available as
an additional module soon:
- SS NPT Flange. 150 lb flange to 1/2" to 24" NPT (similar to a standard 150 lb flange where
flanged fittings need to transition to NPT pipe).
- SS NPT Flange 125. 150 lb flange to 1/2" to 24" NPT (similar to a standard 150 lb flange with a
.125 thk. Gasket). See "MSI SolidWorks Piping tutorial" for further details and use.
- SS NPT Flange 187. 150 lb flange to 1/2" to 24" NPT (similar to a standard 187 lb flange with a
.187 thk. Gasket). See "MSI SolidWorks Piping tutorial" for further details and use.
Note: .125" thick and .187" thick gaskets can be found in the MSI Welded Extended library.
This extended library can be downloaded at: http://www.msioregon.com/SW_Products.html

A .186 inch thick Weld Flange Gasket has also been added. If a different thickness or material of gasket
is needed, this file can be copied and modified as necessary. The intent of this file is to provide a
foundation so that alternative gaskets can be easily developed. Gasket sizes are usually available from
1/4" to 96". Care should always be taken to verify that available sizes can be purchased or custom
manufactured when designing piping routs.
