How do you input the data in the spec Editor 2012 to show the difference in schedule of pipe fittings.  For example, a concentric reducer 4" SCH 80 LE x SCH STD SE.

So does anyone have anything about this?

Typically you would use the "Batch Assign Long Description Styles" function of Spec Editor to configure a new format or string for the properties you would need.

I attempted to configure the long description as you mentioned above. However, I wasn't able to use the size field for the second part of the string.

I am assuming you would want something similar to this for a reducer that changes in size and schedule (as an example):

4" SCH 80 LE x 6" SCH STD SE

Would be something like:

<Nominal Diameter>" SCH <Schedule> LE x <Nominal Diameter>" SCH <Schedule> SE

So there are two property fields for size and schedule in the spec, but the long description style editor only recognized the first entry for size and schedule. 

The workaround I tried was to create 4 new fields:

SIZE1

SIZE2

SCH1

SCH2

But unfortunately you cannot use custom property fields in the long descriptions. 

I have submitted this issue to the development team. 

Thank you,

Thanks Jason.  Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.
