2. The Project Specification Group
Setup interface will appear. Right click on the default Specification Group and
click “Copy Specification Group”. The Copy Specification Group Components
dialog box will now pop up.
3. An option to name the new Specification Group will be available at the top. We recommend naming your Spec Group after the material used to avoid confusion. In this example I will name my Specification Group "Laminex Oak".
4. You will also have the option to create
a copy of the Project Wizard, Global Variables, Cut Parts, Edgeband, Door Wizard,
and Hardware Files. We will keep the default settings and only create a copy of our Cut Parts and Edgeband File. Click Okay.
5. Change the name of the copied Cutpart
File on the component side to the name of your Specification Group. It is
important to change the name of the Cutpart File to avoid confusion with your
other Spec Group.
6. Select your created Specification
Group and open the Material File.
7. Once in the Material File, locate
the pointer that you would like to change the material of. In this example, I
am changing the material of the Base_Door from .6875 Core PL1-PL1 Grain to 1 Core
PL1-PL1 Grain to be able to show the changes taking place. Locate the desired
material in the Sheet Stock Library on the right-hand side, and make sure to click
the arrow in the middle of the interface to complete the transfer of the
material to the selected pointer. Click OK.
8. Close the Project Specification
Group Setup and select the Product Prompts for your desired product. In the
upper right of the Prompts interface change the Specification Group Name to the
Specification Group you created. Click OK.
9. The products will redraw with the
Specifications outlined in the Material File. In this example, I am measuring
the material of my Base_Door to reflect the change to 1 Core PL1-PL1 Grain. The Base Door measure in at one inch. Confirming that the changes I made in the Specification Groups have taken affect.
