Modify Specification

Use the Select Piping Spec window, to modify the specification of selected components in the Modify Components window.

Note:
Normally any items which are not in the same spec as the current branch are ignored by this process, which allows for items such as pipe supports and special components to remain untouched.

From the Specification drop-down list, select a new specification.

From the Pipe/Branch Reset drop-down list, select Components Only, Pipe and Branches or Branch.

Click to select the Apply changes to out of spec check box, this forces the selection process to look at all components regardless of their original specification.

Click Apply to start the search process to find equivalent components in the selected specification and close the Select Piping Spec window. The Component List is refreshed to show the new components.

At this point only suggestions of what the new components are to be, it does not make any changes to the design.

Any items which cannot be found in the new specification are listed as having ‘No selection available’ and are not changed if the other changes are applied.

A selection summary panel displays at the bottom of the window to show the results of the specification selection process.

In the component list the components that are selected are highlighted appropriately. The components with a selection available and with no selection available are highlighted using the colour scheme which is defined in the highlighting tab, refer to Select Component for further information.

If the results are satisfactory, click Apply, to accept the changes. Select the Error Messages tab to display a list showing any anomalies and these can the be corrected by inserting or deleting reducers.

Click Undo to discard any changes and return the attributes to the default, or Dismiss to close the Component Changes window.
