Use the Spec Editor to add parts from a catalog to a spec.
To build a spec, you add parts from the Catalog to the Spec Sheet. You can assign preferences to parts when multiple parts of the same type or size are available in a spec.
The catalogs do not contain multiple copies of the same components in different materials or schedules when the components are otherwise identical. To differentiate these components, you can override certain property values when you copy them to the spec from the catalog. You can also edit part properties in the Spec Sheet after the part is added to the spec.
A spec may contain parts from more than one catalog.
You can add and customize part properties in a spec, add notes for individual parts, and add a general description.
