Modify pipe spec viewer

milic.srdjan — Thu, 23 Nov 2017 14:50:09 GMT

Halo to all,

Is it possible to modify pipe spec viewer, plant 2018, this tool we get with

Command: PLANTSPECVIEWER

to have more columns, then default. Now we have only

Min Size to Max Size Long Description

and I wish to have more columns, like Item code, etc.

Many thanks in advance,

Srdja

Dear @milic.srdjan,

unfortunately, there is no way to customize the SpecViewer on your own wishes.
This setting is HardCoded

The SpecViewer is just a window in the SpecEditor

Only trough the API, there you can display the Spec Entities in a Tool palette and show the columns you want.

Dear Srdjan,

as Hartmut already said, it is not possible to add a column in the Spec Viewer but there is an alternative. Just edit the long description style (family) and add there the item code. Then it is listed also in the Spec Viewer in Plant 3D. I have create a video with audio for you.

Hope this helps.

Regards

This would be a feature to ask for on the Plant 3D Idea Station:

Hello,

Is this Plant 3D idea has been implemented or is there now an option to customize the pipe spec viewer in order to add additional properties/column in it?

Thanks for the update.

There is no change to how this works in 2023.
