Review Existing CU Library

The process of implementing Designer XI provides a great opportunity to review your existing CU library. Before starting the spec ID assignment process:

  • Remove CUs that are obsolete.

  • Remove duplicate CUs.

  • Remove outdated CUs that no longer conform to your company’s current practices.

  • Consult with your end users to determine which CU favorites they use, as these can be converted into Macro CUs in Designer XI

This makes the spec ID assignment process faster and more accurate.

While you are assembling your other CUs and various fields, it is a good time to collect your Non-Drawn CU Types so that they can be part of the initial Import. If the “Type” field for a Non-Drawn CU is not specified when specs are imported, it will default to “Unset.”
