Display/Modify

All of the elements created in PDMS have attributes, either general or special. Each element has different attributes that can be displayed or modified, because of this the Pipework application uses a common layout for windows that are presented to you. For the same reason this document only includes a detailed description of how to display or modify one set of element data. The information can be applied to the same processes that are used to display/modify all other types of element data.

To display or modify any of the attributes in the currently selected SPLDRG, select Modify > Attributes from the main menu bar to display the Display/Modify SPLDRG window.

The SPLDRG attributes are displayed in a scrollable list in spldrg Attributes part of the Display/Modify SPLDRG window. To display or modify part numbers, select Part Numbers to display the Display/Modify Data for Part Numbers window:

The Display/Modify Data for Part Numbers window is populated with all the part numbers from the SPLDRG, to display the attributes for a selected part number, you must select a part number in the Part number’s part of the Display/Modify Data for Part Numbers window. The attributes are now displayed in the Attribute data part of the Display/Modify Data for Part Numbers window.
