Preparing for creation and maintenance of pipe specs

3.1

Basic procedure for preparation

To be able to create and maintain pipe specs in the PipeSpec Designer module, note the

following default settings:
1. Change the settings for working with the PipeSpec Designer in the project properties, if

necessary.

See chapter Customizing project settings (Page 15).

2. Complete the standard tables in the database, if necessary.

See chapter Managing standard tables (Page 16).

3. Configure and complete the standard catalog for geometry data in the database, if

necessary.

See chapter Managing the "standard geometry tables" standard catalog (Page 19).

4. Configure and complete the pipe part catalog in the database, if necessary.

See chapter Administering pipe part catalogs (Page 27).

5. Create bolt sets, if necessary.

See chapter Creating a bolt set (Page 64).

3.2

Customizing project settings

The values for working with PipeSpec Designer are preset in the "SO1" base project. The

settings from the base project are automatically applied by all engineering projects.
See also chapter "PipeSpec Manager" category in properties of the base project (Page 155).

Requirement

Observing the workflow for preparations that must be made for creating and managing pipe

Procedure

● To change the settings in the base project, open the base project properties and overwrite

the respective settings in the "PipeSpec Designer" category.

● To change the settings for one engineering project only, open the properties of the relevant

engineering project and overwrite the respective settings in the "PipeSpec Designer"

category.

If an engineering project is to use only a project-specific pipe spec, for example, collect the

project-specific pipe spec under a dedicated (sub)node and enter this (sub)node in the

"PipeSpec Designer" category under "Pipe spec definition".
