The options in this window enable you to store and manage preliminary dimensional data for your instrumentation design. You can use standard (default) dimensions of known manufacturers who are likely to supply the instruments. You can browse through the data, modify it, and copy it to the working data as needed. After sufficient default data is available, the DDP designer can provide this data to the piping designers for their preliminary design. The default data will then be replaced or modified according to the actual dimensional data received from the manufacturers.

To access this screen, select or select View > Default Library. Then, in the Select Dimensional Group dialog that opens, highlight the required dimensional group and select OK.

The default window displays the existing default dimensional data.
