Equipment
The functionality available from the Modify Equipment Specification window enables the specification of the current element to be changed to another from the list of available specifications.

Click CE to set the currently selected element, from the Model Explorer or graphical view, as the working element.
Standard equipment may be selected from a Specification or from a Selection Table as configured in the Equipment catalogue.
Select the Specification to navigate through the design database hierarchy (for ease of navigation through the design database, use the Sort Specification drop down list to sort the available specifications by name or by database order) using a question-and-answer sequence until a unique design item is specified.
