    Tip: To delete the line ID, right-click the line ID object and select Delete.
    Note: If you have defined specifications objects in the Data Setup, you can:
    • Associate piping specifications to piping lines when creating a line ID or editing line ID properties.
    • Quickly check if the design is correct or not.

    In this case, the Standard attribute cannot be out-of-specification but the Nominal Size attribute can.
