Hi, if the change size/spec issue you are saying is, there is an existing modeled pipe line that needs to be editted in size/spec, yes you can. Just select your whole pipe line by either by "selection window",or by "selecting a single component, use right mouse button, select add to selection function, use "entire line number/ all connected parts". After your whole pipe line routing/model is selected, open your properties tab, select the Size or Spec field, then change it to what size or spec you want and it will change your whole routing to that size or spec. But, please be aware that, if you do not have the same component or fittings on the size that you will be replacing, or you dont have the same components property on the spec that you will substitute to your existing model (eg. pressure class of flanges/valves, end types, etc.) your line will be disconnected and will require reconstruction and or checking. But then, if they have, it will be changed and will have no problem at all. Thanks.

we need to take some more precaution while changing SIze / spec for entire pipe : -

 1. charging of line size may change your BOP / TOP of piping which might be create mess to re-route and setting of BOP.

 2. while selecting by option " select add to selection function, use "entire line number/ all connected parts"" , you might select connected other line number (which you dont want to change ) and that line also may  change in size / spec. (I face this problem and now doing rework 😞 )

so we need to keep eyes open while resizing of lines.

Yes In Cadworx 2014 an alert is showing when the change is made.

In case of unwanted changes like parag had encountered, you can always use undo command so you could do the spec/size change perfectly, but always with precautions. Thanks
