Updating assigned data on Spec/Size change

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

This chapter describes how the already assigned Pipe Spec data in a symbol are updated.

Let's start with the following example where we have the check valve in size 100.

Use Cases 0145

And here we see the data for one of the flanges.

Use Cases 0141

When you change spec or size in a symbol (this applies to the flanges and fasteners too), PlantSpecDriven checks if the already assigned Long Description (Family) exists in the new spec/size combination as well (see Page 12 - Assign Catalog - Port Properties).

Notice the Long Description (Family) in the assigned pipe spec data.

Use Cases 0142

Now we change the size to 50.

Use Cases 0143

In the updated data we still see the same Long Description (Family), but the Long Description (Size) has been updated.

Use Cases 0144
