SECTION 1
Intergraph CADWorx Catalog and Specification Editor

The CADWorx Catalog and Specification Editor views, edits, and creates specifications and catalog data loaded with CADWorx. The Spec Editor also imports legacy data, and specs from all versions of CADWorx. Your project administrator needs to review and update the catalog (.cat) and project (.prj) file in the Spec Editor before modeling begins. Catalog File - Contains all the size, material, schedule, thickness, end type, category, component data, index codes, and database codes for all the components in CADWorx. This is a .cat file, located in C:\CADWorx\Plant\Spec, and can only be accessed through the Specification Editor. The catalog file works in conjunction with the project (.prj) file to allow CADWorx to build models. The areas highlighted in red are referenced throughout this manual. Windows such as the Catalog Data window are referenced by the window name. Please take a moment to get familiar with the interface.
The View tab is explained in View Catalog Tab (on page 51).
Project File - Contains the specifications for CADWorx. This is a .prj file, located in C:\CADWorx 1.0\Plant\Spec, and can only be accessed through the Specification Editor. These specifications

can be updated by changing the base catalog attached to the project. You can also update the individual components using the Edit Component dialog box. The project file is used in CADWorx to select specifications and sizes when creating a new model. The areas highlighted in red are referenced throughout this manual. Windows such as the Project Specs window are referenced by the window name. Please take a moment to get familiar with the interface. The Component tab is the default tab when, you open the Main Spec List View.

Keywords
Keywords can be used in specification descriptions that allow information to be automatically inserted during placement of a component. Keywords can be used anywhere within the Tag, Short Description, and Long Description fields. Keywords can also be used in the Index Code data file. Keywords are: MAIN RED SPEC MAINTHK REDTHK LENGTH BORE MAINACT REDACT TAG MAINDEC REDDEC MAINACTDEC REDACTDEC PIPETHK PIPETHKRED LINENUM SPECINFONOMINALRATING SPECINFOTEMPERATURE SPECINFOPRESSURE SPECINFOFLANGEFACE SPECINFOPIPINGMATERIAL SPECINFOFORGINGMATERIAL SPECINFOFITTINGMATERIAL SPECINFOGASKETMATERIAL SPECINFOSTUDMATERIAL SPECINFOBOLTMATERIAL CWDBCODE The keywords {BORE}, {PIPETHK} and {PIPETHKRED} are calculated from the pipe data file in the specification instead of the component's data file. For example, for a 4"x1" reducer, {PIPETHK} would get the values from the 4" pipe data file as listed in the specification. {PIPETHKRED} would get values from the 1" pipe data file. A 4"x1" reducer with {MAINTHK} or {REDTHK} would get the keyword values from the reducer data file as listed in the specification. Olet data files do not have any thickness values listed. Olet {MAINTHK} or {REDTHK} values are always read from the appropriate pipe data file. The {BORE} keyword is a calculation of the inside diameter of the main pipe size. It is calculated using the following formula: {BORE} = [ (Pipe Outside Diameter of Main Size) - (2*Pipe Wall Thickness of Main Size) ]. Some ways in which keywords can be used are below: PIPE, {MAIN} {MAINTHK}" API-5L GR.B DSAW, PSL2

SCH - Schedule - The schedule of the thickness for components. SCHENCWT - Schedule Enhance Weight - The schedule used with enhanced weight calculation. Enhanced weight calculation calculates the weights of components based on the AutoCAD solid geometry, calculated by (the hollow enhanced solid volume multiplied by the component density). A manufactured component may have a larger wall thickness then the schedule requires. To make the enhanced weight calculation more accurate, SCHENCWT can be set to a larger wall thickness schedule. The Enhanced weight calculation is used anytime the WEIGHT column is 0.0 in a data table. The component drawing mode (2D Double line, 2D Single line, 3D Solid, or 3D Enhanced) does not have any effect on the weight calculation. The weight calculation is run in background using a temporary 3D enhanced AutoCAD solid when using 2D Double line, 2D Single line, or 3D Solid drawing mode. Weights of the following components are based on the AutoCAD Solid geometry when the WEIGHT column is 0.0 in the component data table: PIPE ELBOWS O_LETS TEES CAPS CROSSES LATERALS SCH thickness value used to create AutoCAD solid geometry SCH thickness value used to create AutoCAD solid geometry SCH thickness value used to create AutoCAD solid geometry SCHENCWT thickness value used to create AutoCAD solid geometry SCHENCWT thickness value used to create AutoCAD solid geometry SCHENCWT thickness value used to create AutoCAD solid geometry SCHENCWT thickness value used to create AutoCAD solid geometry
REDUCERS SCHENCWT thickness value used to create AutoCAD solid geometry FLANGES Enhanced Data Table Values used to create AutoCAD solid geometry
Weights of the following components are always based on the Data Table WEIGHT column: COUPLINGS GASKETS BOLTS WELDS SANITARY SPEC_BLIND BLEED_RING EXPANSION JOINTS STRAINERS UNIONS USER_SHAPES VALVES Y_SHAPE PTN - Part Number - Value assigned to specific schedules.

ETS
ETS or Bitwise End Type Placement Control is common to most but not all data tables. ETS controls the end type display.
ETS Description
In the 2012 legacy program, flanged components such as 45FL, 90FL, CONFL, ECCFL, PIPFL, TEEFL, and YFL use the FLGS variable to control displaying of endtype at the ends. This variable is a bitwise flag (0, 1, 2) and depends on the numbered connections of the component, as shown in the graphic below.
97

In the 2013 NG system, the data tables also have an ETS variable (Endtype bitwise flag) to control display endtypes. This is similar to the legacy FLGS variable, as shown in the graphic below.
When importing, the FLGS variable is converted to the ETS variable. Otherwise a default value is set that depends on the number connection of components. For example: the value is 1 for CAPS and 15 for CROSSES. Special components are used for flanged pipes. PIPFL is a special endtype component, and PIPFL2 is a flanged component. In 2D single mode, the components have different shapes. The ETS of PIPFL is a design value of 100, 101, 102, or 103, such as ETS = 103.
The design of PIPFL2 is ETS with a value of 0, 1, 2, or 3, such as ETS = 3
Caps
