5. "Description" field: Enter the function type.
6. "Reference" control group: In the "Base object" field, set a reference to a base object whose
function code lies within the pipe part type.
Note
The function code of the linked base object is used, for example, in the isometrics module
to control the display of the toolbar.
3.6.2 Standard table for function codes
Purpose of function codes
Function codes are codes that are used to categorize pipe parts when working with pipe specs.
The function codes are grouped in a standard table. The standard table is stored at the
"Y00T00011.Y00A00002 Function code" attribute at pipe parts.
Standard table for function codes: "Standard tables > Y10 > M23 > A10 > Y10M23N00001
Function code"
Permitted values
Some of the function codes are fixed programmed in COMOS.
Furthermore, certain function code ranges are reserved for specific component types.
Example:
● The function code range between 10000 and 10010 is reserved for types of pipe specs.
● The function code range between 11100 and 11199 is reserved for general pipes.

3.7 Administering standards
3.7.1 Creating a new system of standards
3.7.1.1 Overview: Creating a new system of standards
The standard catalog contains geometry standards based on the DIN/EN and ANSI/ASME
systems of standards. If your engineering is to be based on a different system of standards,
you create a new system of standards.
