8.5.3 Defining preselected components
Requirement
● Observing the workflow for configuration of pipe specs. See also chapter Overview for
configuring pipe specs (Page 79).
● The "Nominal diameters" tab is open.
Procedure
1. Click the tab of the required pipe part type.
The table listing the preselected components and the table for the nominal diameter ranges
of the pipe parts are displayed.
2. Get an overview of which pipe parts can be set as preselected components for the nominal
diameter. You have two options:
– Activate the "All components" option in the upper table.
The legend descriptions of all available pipe parts are displayed in the cell for the
required nominal diameter.
– Check the lower table to see which pipe parts are available for the nominal diameter.
3. If you only wish to define a preselected component for one nominal diameter, proceed as
follows:
– To display a list with all pipe parts that are available as preselected component for the
current nominal diameter, open the context menu in the required cell of the upper table.
– Select a pipe part.
The pipe part is set as the preselected component.
– If the option "All components" is activated, deactivate the option to change into the
display mode for preselected components.
4. To assign the same preselected component to several nominal diameters, proceed as
follows:
– Press and hold down <Ctrl>, hold down the left mouse button, and drag out an area
around the required nominal diameters in the upper table.
– To display a list of pipe parts which are available as preselected components for all
selected nominal diameters, open the context menu.
– Select a pipe part from the list.
The pipe part is set as the preselected component.
5. Save your entries.
Modifying the nominal diameters of a pipe part
In the lower table, you can modify the nominal diameters in which the pipe parts are available.
This means that you can even set pipe parts as preselected components which are not
available as preselected components initially due to their nominal diameter range.
