The installation package comes with a Cable Tray catalog file for both Imperial and Metric Systems. Open this catalog in your Specs Editor for AutoCAD Plant 3D – 20xx. Click on the desired component and switch to the SIZE tab. Here you can introduce a new width size as per your need. Remember the size constraint is from 50mm to 1200mm (i.e. 2” to 48”). To add the size do the following;
- Click Add Size
- Enter the value of Nominal Diameter (which is your new required size)
- Enter the value for Matching Pipe OD (which is the same as the diameter above)
- (Optional): Enter the appropriate text string in the Long Description (Size)
- Change the Width Parameter to match your required size (entered in Nominal Diameter).
- Click Save to Catalog
Locate the component named PIPE in the catalog and repeat the above process for the same. Open up your desired spec sheet in the Specs Editor tab. Remove the component (for which the size has been changed) and PIPE from the spec sheet. Locate both in the Catalog and add them to the Specs Sheet. This will include an updated component in the specs sheet. Click on the component in the specs sheet for which a new size has been added and click the Edit Parts button. In the dialog that opens, locate the Column named Component Designation and input Custom for all entries. Save the specs sheet. Go to your AutoCAD Plant 3D project, select any other specification sheet (other than what you just updated) as active, and then remove the previous version of the spec sheet you just updated. Import the updated version of the specs sheet again in the project and you will see the new size here.
