  • Before running the UoM Conversion 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.

  • If you have input data in more than one workbook, you can merge the data into one workbook using the Piping Reference Data Merge utility. The UoM Conversion utility must have the input data in one workbook.

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

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

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

  3. In the Piping Parts Excel file box, browse and select the Excel workbook with the piping part data to convert.

  4. In the NPD Equivalence Rule Excel file box, browse and select the Excel workbook with the rule data.

    • A default NPD Equivalence Rule workbook is delivered in the [Product Folder]\Core\Shared\UOMServices\xls folder. This file helps convert units from imperial (inches) to metric (mm).

    • You must remove the Read-only property on the NPD Equivalence Rule workbook before running the conversion process.

    • If you want to convert units from metric (mm) to imperial (inches), you must revise the delivered NPD Equivalence Rule workbook.

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

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