Cardinal rule #1 in Catalog/Spec - Never delete anything in catalog/Spec. In design cats/spec is carried by reference # and not by the name.
So 2" elbo in design with spref /A/2.0Elbo is actually storing the =1234/5678 internally in design. Although it shows the name in spref, PDMS actually use the ref# to pointing back to spco and then catref. There is a nice diagram in the PDMS manual.
So if you must delete a spec(do not do that! that is why limbo is there for) or catalog for fun. Make sure you record their occurance in design (Q desgeo, Q geodep), and run it back in as a macro to reset it after your spec is changed (assuming you are keeping the same spco/catref naming convention).
Do you know you can remove a spec? That will put it to the limbo location and then if you run the same spec macro it will bring it back to life again. Design will not show dashed lines. Try it.
