The Piping Commodity Filter Cleanup utility is a tool for cleaning up translated PDS piping specification data by merging common records that can result from the differing structures of PDS and Smart 3D piping reference data.

Here are some important points to remember about this utility.

  • The Piping Commodity Filter Cleanup utility deletes duplicate records in the piping commodity filter.

  • The utility scans the Piping Nominal Diameters sheet for valid sizes, then processes the Piping Commodity Filter (PCF, in this topic) sheet in the specified file, and merges common records when the values of all properties (except the First Size, From and First Size, To properties) are identical.

  • The utility does not support the cleanup of catalog (part) sheets.

  • The utility can clean only one piping commodity filter sheet at a time.

  • The utility overwrites the cleaned specification PCF workbook and reports results in a log file.

Limitations

  • The Piping Nominal Diameters sheet and the Piping Commodity Filter (PCF) sheet must be in the workbook specified for processing.

  • The utility does not merge multi-size items, such as reducers and reducing tees, unless all the records in the first size and second size match.

  • The utility may change the formatting of some merged cells. If you require specific formatting, it may be necessary to apply the required formats to modified cells after the cleanup is completed.
