-
Press F8 to open the Reference Explorer, and expand the hierarchy to the item library level in the Hook-Up Item Libraries folder.
-
Double-click the item library to display the item sub-libraries.
The default sub-library exists in every library that you create. In addition, you
can create user-defined sub-libraries if you want to associate pipe specs to hook-ups.
-
Right-click the default sub-library and select Actions > Batch Item Creation.
-
Under Number of items to create, use the spinner to enter the number of the hook-up items you want to create under the default sub-library.
-
In the Prefix box, type an optional prefix you want to assign to the batch of the items you are about to create.
-
In the Start from number box, type the starting number you want to append to the name of the first item in the batch.
If you leave the Start from number box empty, after you select OK, the software automatically appends 0 (zero) to the name of the first item in the batch.
-
In the Increment by box, use the spinner to change the incrementing value as needed.
The default value in the Incremented by box is 1. When using the default value, to ensure item name uniqueness within the current
default sub-library, the software increments every subsequent item number in the batch
of items by one digit. You can change this value as needed. For example, if you want
to create three items with prefix MyItem, the Start from number value 5, and the Increment by value 2, the software creates the following items: MyItem5, MyItem7, and MyItem9.
-
Select OK to open the Hook-Up Item Properties dialog, where you can define properties for each item and complete the item creation.
