How to delete a list of SPCO from spec??? (A bitt urgent pls...)

 
  • Dear All,

            I have loaded a some additional SPCO items (like valves, olets, tees for unlisted bores) in a SPEC. But, my client doesn't want any additional items to be present a list of SPCO. Now I have collected all SPCO that to be deleted.

    kindly provide me some suggestion on how to delete the unwanted items???  (A bitt urgent pls...)

    thanks for all ur supports...
  • in my opinion you should remove it than delete because there may be used items in design and the model can be damaged if you deleted it.
  • but if you decided to delete them you can write in a text file SPCO name and DELETE SPCO

    i.e. /A3B/PA600 DELETE SPCO
        /A3B/PA500 DELETE SPCO

    then run the macro into SPECON
  • Normal procedure would be to first REMOVE the SPCOs from the Spec. which places them in *limbospec
    This is in case they have been used in Design
    In SPECON
    Goto the Pipe SPEC.
    Type REMOVE /spco name

    repeat for each SPCO
    This puts the SPCOs in *Limbospec
    When you are sure that evrything is OK and design has not been compromised
    you can repeat the exercise  by changing REMOVE to DELETE and repeat while in *Limbospec

    If you have a list of names in a file you can edit the list to create a Macro
    add specname to the top and insert REMOVE in front of each spco name,

    If you are handling more than one spec I would create a file for each spec

    thanks bro... As I said earlier, Those things are unlisted items under the spec. So, There's no pint in keeping them. They asked me to delete it. that's it.. But thanks for the reminder that when I delete the items, It'll reflect in design if anythings is modeled using that...

    thanks bro..
