Abstract: Systems and methods for computer aided pipe string design based on existing string designs are provided. A string type for a current string design is determined based on input received from a user via a graphical user interface (GUI). The GUI enables the user to create the current string design within a graphical design area of the GUI using string components selected from a component selection area of the GUI. A components list is generated based one component data associated with the previously created string designs and a set of component properties that uniquely identify individual components of the previously created string designs. The generated list of components is filtered based on one or more filtering parameters related to the current string design and the previously created string designs. The filtered list for a selected component category is displayed within the component selection area of the GUI.
