Duplicate component in Spec Editor

Hi all

 

What's the deal with Spec Editor 2014?

I have an existing catalog and I want to duplicate each size 8 times, to add 8 different wall thicknesses to each size.

When I click "Duplicate Component", I expect all the properties of the original component to be copied. But all of the duplicated components have Nominal Diameter and Matching Pipe OD missing and I have to manually add them... for every single size... I feel like an Ancient Eqyptian forced labor towing stone blocks for pyramid construction..

And I can't add them in Excel spreadsheet also, because Spec Editor won't let me save the catalog with these labels empty.

 

Any ideas or help?

Okay, it is a BIT easier using the Advanced Editing Table, but still...

I find myself thinking it is better to start building completely new catalog with Catalog Builder, but in that case I'd have to insert all the geometry all over again (I have correct geometry in my existing catalog that I'm modifying).
