The system uses dimensional data files to determine the availability and dimension of a component. PROCAD compiles its dimensional data from catalogues supplied by major manufacturers. Dimensional data for non-standard components is captured from charts supplied by certified engineering authorities.
In some instances, different manufacturers supply different dimensional data for the same component. Use Spec Generator to review and/or edit specification information for non-standard items. Refer to the Spec Generator User Guide for more information.
Ø Note: 90 degree elbows, reducing elbows, and 180 degree returns do not have a dimensional data file. The system calculates the dimensions of these fittings.
Ø All dimensions in data files are in inches. If you using the Metric system, AutoISO converts the dimension to Metric by multiplying it by 25.4.
