The options in this window enable you to store and manage working dimensional data. This window displays existing Working dimensional data for tag numbers entered in the Instrument Index module. After you create a new tag number whose instrument type is associated with dimensional data and a dimensional group, the dimensional data for this tag will be displayed in the Working Data window.
You can also add more records to the Working data by copying from Vendor data or by copying preliminary default data from the Default Library if the Dimensional Group, manufacturer, model, and the process connection values match the Working data.
Managing Working data involves editing it, modifying the data status, entering the piping design area, and finally generating and printing out a Dimensional Data Sheet for a particular instrument.
