Global CEdit Dialog Box

Specifies properties for multiple components.

Each property initially shows no value. Any value modified for a property is changed for all selected components. Properties that are not modified are not changed in the selected components.

Alpha size

Specifies a size-only description of the component.

Short annotation

Specifies a short description of the component.

Long annotation

Specifies a long description of the component.

Line number

Specifies the line number of the component.

Tag

Specifies a tag for the component.

Code

Specifies a code for the component.

Weight

Specifies the weight per unit of a pipe component.

Sort sequence

Specifies the sort sequence of the component in the bill of material.

Coordinates

World

Calculates pipe length based on the pipe component centerline. This option only affects pipe, nipple, flanged pipe, and tubing components. It does not affect fixed-size components such as elbows or flanges. If a pipe component is stretched, trimmed, or broken, the positions of the components are automatically updated along with the pipe length.

Iso

Specifies the value of Length as the pipe length. The length does not change the drawing graphics, but appears in the bill of material. For more information, see ISO Flag.

Miscellaneous

Existing

Specifies that the component is not included in the bill of material. The component symbol is also moved to the Exist layer. In Isogen isometric drawings, the component is shown as dotted and dimensioned.

Insulation or CAESAR II

Specifies that this component either has CAESAR II pipe stress analysis information or insulation attached.

BOM Item Type

Fabrication

Specifies a fabrication type of bill of material item.

Erection

Specifies an erection type of bill of material item.

Offshore

Specifies an offshore type of bill of material item.

Misc

Specifies a miscellaneous type of bill of material item.

OK

Saves modifications and closes the dialog box.

Cancel

Cancels the operation without saving modifications, and closes the dialog box.

Custom Data

Specifies custom data created in the Specification Editor and enables you to edit the value. This data can be isolated in the Line View palette.

  • For more information on creating custom data, see New Field Dialog Box in the CADWorx Spec Editor Users Guide.
