Overview

This resource file is a discrete list of all the standards you use.

  • when using Engineering Specification objects, the Standard item in the resource table of Raceway Specification Resources.

Table Description

To customize the table, enter a line in the spreadsheet for each standard in every material that you use.

File-Based Table

A typical Standard file-based table is shown below:
