[TD="colspan: 2"]SPECBREAK can be further modified to output specification changes for material, insulation, tracing, paint, [COLOR=#ff0000]and (up to) five user-defined specifications[/COLOR]. By default, only specification changes for Pipe will be output. By switching SPECCHANGES to ON, you can output the other changes.
The following Atext defaults are associated with the specification breaks on the drawing area:

I can't work out how to define these user-defined specifications. What I really would like to show is the Change in Pressure Class rating.
E.g. 600# to #300. can this be done?
I think in your case you can use in option file command
Specbreak COMPONENT
to get spec break catched on component level
then use Atext 289 'your text'
to operate with text that output on Isometric in the place of spec break
And in addition you can use ancillary ATTA item connected to FLAN in the place of its connection with TUBE (your Spec Break place).
ATTA should have its ATTY = CCNN. Stext = whatever you want to output on iso.T
his ATTA will not go to MTO but will show comment in the place where you put it in
oh alright. i just can't seem to get a clear method of adding specbreaks into the options file from the manual :(
So with the standard specification changes how could i get the pressure class rating as the determining attribute to either show or not show a specbreak?
Coz we have an OFFSPEC spec and an INSTRUMENT spec.
So in the isometric we dont want to show the name of the spec coz it wouldnt make much sense to have isodraft output "INSTRU-SPEC" on the iso.
For example a #300 line connecting to a #150 nozzle. The gasket and flange would be OFFSPEC or from another Spec that has the item. but if other specs dont have the required then we would need to have a new flange in the offspec spec.
So at the weld between the flange and the pipe it would read #150/#300 kinda thing.
hopefully what i have written makes sense
