6.1 Options for creating a new pipe spec
You have the following options for creating a new pipe spec:
● When
you use a template, you make a copy of an existing pipe spec and modify it according
to your needs. See also chapter Creating a new pipe spec from a template (Page 74).
● When the new pipe spec differs significantly from the existing pipe spec, you create a
completely new pipe spec without a template. See also chapter Creating a new pipe spec
without a template (Page 73).
