  1. Click the (+) sign on the Data Tables folder in Catalog Data.

    The Data Tables folder expands, displaying the categories.

  2. Select a category.

    If you select a bolt or a gasket, the software then allows you to define the Selection Code. Also, if you select a flange, coupling, or clamped component, the software then allows you to define the Applicable Gaskets and Applicable Bolts if you defined the Selection Codes for the gasket and bolts.

  3. Click the Home tab, and then click Data Table Add Data Icon Spec Editor on the Add Tables panel. Alternatively, right-click a category in Data Tables in Catalog Data, and then select Add Data Table Add Data Icon Spec Editor.

    The New Data Table dialog box displays.

  4. Type the name of the new data table in the Name box. The default can be entered for you if you skip to step 5.

  5. Click the Type list, and then select the type.

    The contents of the Type list depend on the category you chose at the beginning of these steps.

  6. Click the Size Table list, and then select a size table.

  7. Click the Size Table ellipsis, select the sizes to add from the Select Size list, and then click OK.

    SHARED Tip Use the Select / deselect all check box to select or clear all sizes.

    You must specify a group for any data table you create. The software then places the data table correctly when you switch to the Group List Mode in the View tab on the Data Table List Mode panel.

    If you select the Apply same end-type to all ends check box, then you cannot select the End, Branch 1, and Branch 2 end types because they take the end type of the Start box.
