This dialog allows you to associate an instrument tag with several specification forms. Although an instrument tag can be associated with several specification forms, there can only be one active specification per instrument tag.

Note that each specification is based on a particular document (drawing) that is defined for the form of the specification you select. The specification can be a single-tag or a composite specification but not a multi-tag specification.

To open this dialog, in the Specifications module, select Actions > Associate Instrument Specification Forms.

For this feature to work, you must first enable it in the Specification Preferences. Click File >Preferences. On the Preferences dialog box, click Specifications > General. Under Instrument specification association, select the Associate with multiple spec forms option.

The dialog options are as follows:
