Selection Tables (available on the Selection Tables tab in the left pane), can be used to find catalogue items in a way similar to pipe specifications.

By making a selection in the Table and Type dropdown boxes and clicking the Find button, the table on the right hand side will be filled with a relevant selection of catalogue items represented by TABITE database elements.

If the Auto select table and type from item checkbox is checked, the table and type drop-downs will automatically be set according to applicable default settings under General Options > Catalogue Search Settings in Diagrams Options or specified in step 5 of Import Shape Wizard.

A selection table item can contain default values that will be applied to the shape when the catalogue reference is set, provided that the Apply default values to item checkbox is checked. This can be followed up in the Message Log where messages regarding assigned default attributes is provided.
