paragon components not in design module

I just created some pipe fittings and specification (Valves, Elbow,  Reducer e.t.c) in the paragon module as a new catalogue/ category  (Sample project, please), I am trying to view and make use of it in the  design module to create my piping model, but I can’t find it among the  components herein. Does it need another loading concept before I can  view and use it for pipework? How do I fix this?


How do I make it visible in the design module?

Thanks,

TOM

Did you put the stuff into the pipe SPEC?

Yes, done all that

And the SPEC must have a name and a purpose (e.g. PURP PIPE or BOLT or so).
And the first question is probably always TYPE....(except for Limbo Spec)

@FromHH, You are causing more confusion, I want to know how to do this, I expect the forum member to at list tell me what and how to do it or go about it. See my post above and tell me where I am missing it. I already added all that is needed including specon modules for spec. A simple steps wise explanation will help out.

there is a text under spec.
make STEXT Attribute to PIPING for this TEXT

There could be several reason why you are not able to see the Component and Spec in Design

are you sure the Database holding the spec and component are available in the Design, are you using the same MDB and Project for login into Design and Paragon ?

Sorry for creating confusion and not meeting your expectations. I will stop causing confusion now.

Have you ever attended a specific PDMS Piping Catalogue & Specification Training Course?
If not, I would suggest you to do it.
This would definitely help you and would clear your doubts and confusion.

Hi Tommark,


while modeling a component, are you at right size.(if you created a component for 100mm then while modeling, your previous component should be of 100mm)
