Modifying the Material Field Options: Introduction

www.kxcad.net Home > ProCAD Index > ProCAD 2D DESIGNER 2007

The Spec Generator stores component information in Material Files. The system stores data for each component type in a separate data file. For each component type (pipe, for example) there are a number of material fields (rating, manufacturer, etc.). Changes you make here affect the component data for all specs.

Using the Modify Material Files dialog box you can:

• Edit a component description

• Add new items to the material fields. For example, you could add a new manufacturer for pipe. 

• Delete items from the material fields. For example, you could delete a manufacturer for pipe. 

Ø      Warning: Deleting material file information may seriously affect existing drawing files. Never delete material file information unless you are aware of all possible implications.
