  • Before running the Pipe Branch Cleanup utility, you must convert at least one PDS specification using the PDS translator. The conversion results in one specification workbook and one catalog workbook per spec.

  • For branch cleanup, the Pipe Branch and Pipe Nominal Diameters sheets must be in separate workbooks.

  1. In Windows Explorer, navigate to the software installation folder.

  2. Under [Product Folder]\CatalogData\PDSTranslator\Bin, double-click PipeBranchCleanupUtility.exe.

    The Workstation setup includes the PDSTranslator folder only if you have specified the Project Management option during installation.

  3. In the PipeBranch Excel file box, browse and select the Excel workbook (.XLS format) that contains the Pipe Branch sheet.

  4. In the PipeNominalDiameters box, browse and select the Excel workbook (.XLS format) that contains the Pipe Nominal Diameters sheet.

  5. In the Log file box, browse to the location where you want the log file stored.

  6. Click Start Cleanup. As the utility processes the files, you can view the status messages on the dialog box. After completion, "Finished" appears on the dialog box.

  • The process overwrites the Excel Pipe Branch workbook.

  • The process does not mark any records in the workbook as changed.
