Command line: SPECEDIT
Modifies the delivered specifications and creates new specifications for the PRJ or SPC files. The type of file selected determines which editor is displayed. Selecting a PRJ file displays the Intergraph CADWorx Catalog and Specification Editor, while selecting an SPC file displays the legacy Spec Editor. For more information about the legacy Spec Editor, see the information below. For more information about the Intergraph CADWorx Catalog and Specification Editor, see the CADWorx Spec Editor User's Guide delivered with CADWorx.
The Intergraph CADWorx Catalog and Specification Editor and the legacy Spec Editor can be used as standalone software and can be copied to any computer. Neither editor requires a license. CADWorxSpecEdit.exe and SpecEdit.exe are both located in the [Product Folder]\P&ID\Spec folder.
An SPC specification file is a rigidly formatted text file. If you modify the file with a text editor such as Notepad, do not change the structure of the file. Components using an improperly formatted specification file cannot be placed on a drawing.
When opening the editors from CADWorx P&ID, the software loads the PRJ or SPC that you have selected. If you want to open a different project, select File > Open in the Intergraph CADWorx Catalog and Specification Editor. For more information, see the CADWorx Spec Editor User's Guide delivered with CADWorx. To open a different SPC file, you must close the legacy Spec Editor and select another file.
The editors stores all the components delivered with CADWorx. To add a size for a component, you must first add it in the Data Table and the EndType Table in the catalog of the Intergraph CADWorx Catalog and Specification Editor. You cannot use a component size that has not been added to the catalog for the specification. CADWorx uses the SpecificationDirectory to determine the location of the out-of-the-box specifications.
Optional components can be manipulated and created in both editors.
