Now I only use non_spec_driven model for drawing flexible pipe in pro/piping. but in Pro/e 5 help file I saw it may use spec_driven model too and need set "flex_pipe" in MCAT file, who know it how to set? Now I only draw straight pipe in spec_driven model.

Using the attached files

In piping_data\master_catalog\pipethk add thk_flex.ptd

In piping_data\master_catalog\pipeod add od_flex.ptd

In piping_data\master_catalog\pipe add pipe_flex.ptd

In piping_data\master_catalog\piping_units_system_dic_file.ptd add entries for the flex pipe (as per attached piping_units_system_dic_file.ptd)

In piping_data\master_catalog\piping_mcat_dir.ptd add entry for the flex pipe (as per attached piping_mcat_dir.ptd)

In piping_data\master_catalog\piping_material.ptd add entry for the flex pipe (as per attached piping_material.ptd)

Once you have added the files enter spec piping and when you go to define your new specification you will be able to select the flexible pipeline. once you have defined your new specification you will be able to select it for routing.

Hello Jim,

I have copy these file to corresponding folders and I have setted up project data file(flex_asfile.ptd and piping_spec_dir.ptd), but system message is as following, do piping_manufacute_dir.ptd file need been setted up too?

otherwise, I think in spec driven module it maybe should have option window for flexible or straight that like the similar window in non_spec_driven module.,so I may choose pipe is flexible or straight in spec driven module. Can it achieve?
