SMapping functional and physical classes

Functional classes are visible for the user who places parts from the catalog.Physical classes are visible for the user who creates parts and puts them into a catalog.The functional and the physical classes have to mapped. This means the physical classes are mapped on the functional classes. The mapping is defined in the Piping-FunctionPhysical.txt file which can be found under C:\XXX\Setup\EquipmentAndSystems\Piping\DesignRules and which is attached to the DesignRules.catalog.To map the created classes, the file should look like this:

The easiest way to create a new standard is to copy an exisiting one and modify it.All standards are managed ba the PipingStandards.catalog which can be found under C:\XXX\Setup\EquipmentAndSystems\Piping\StandardsThe files for the default standard (ASTL) can be found under C:\XXX\Setup\EquipmentAndSystems\Piping\Standards\ASTL.To create a new standard, copy the ASTL directory and name it however you like (in this case myStandard).

You have insertered the new Specification in the Catalog now. But you also have to create the rules for the specification and link them to the catalog. Therefore we will copy the existing specification (CS150R) wich can be found under C:\XXX\Setup\EquipmentAndSystems\Piping\Specification\CS150R.After copying the CS150R directory, you have to rename the new directory, the files located in there and you must repair the links of the products that represent the design rules.
