Specifications Loading(Auto)

[COLOR=#333333]Dear All,
[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]I understand that loading of specification very interesting but it is too boring. Does anyone know how to automate it?



Maybe to create uic for cata(Category) and when we get task to load new components we use form.
In this form, We have a list of all possible 50 cataS (from 10 000), selected by uic filter from the name of given Spec).

But there is a problem, some costumers has it own specification,so another filter. Would it be useful -universal ?

The pipe spec IS the filter

Automation can be good, but kata/spec work need a lot of time because of precision of your job. Mistake can cost  many money ... so idea of quick loading without detailed work is nice, but nonsense ... according my experience.

I mean not uic -UDA User define attribute.

The filter for people but not understandable for programm. To filter  all cataS for spec SBB11,  I should filter it by pressure+material+..

What mistakes do you mean? We would have spec sbb11 sb-material b-pressure 11-..
Some department will give task to catalog admin,he will run some form,which form it by filter detref=material  rati=pressure,11=..

it depends on kind of project an on conception of specifications. If you can simply say "in this spec can be anything of this type from this material and rating", then it is ok. But most of PDMS companies I know at some projects exactly manage content of each specification - wall thickness on each component, some types is some range etc. so designers can choose only approved items from exact specifications. It this cases it is impossible for me just press button "give all items from this cate to my spec".

I have the same situation. As I have mentioned sbb11 ,sb-material,b-pressure,1-Pipe requirements,1-wall thickness.
So, for my spec sbb11 I can choose filter all cataS by criterio detref-material, ratio of cata -pressure, detref of tubi cate-pipe req., prop name-wall thickness.
After reducing, we will abtain 20 catS. So the job is to choose from this list: tube,elbo,tee,valv + diameter only for tube(all others dia assigned by tube)

i understand. But from many years experience with catalogue i don´t think it will be so simply. You can create macro to simplify spec creation process, but macro for creating specs just by settings some options is just for medium undemanding on calculations, or some general or dummy specifications for basic project or for project start, when you don´t have detail specifications basis on data from technologist and material management department.
Big companies have large material management SW connected with PDMS catalogue, which took long and expensive development - on real projects it is not so easy ... You

Hello,
There is software called CATVEIW, this is freeware from Aveva. You can use this software to load specification with ease in the Project.

For the cataloguing purpose you will need to take care with some attributes in CATA and SCom level details of which can be get from user guide.
