      <p class="para_topic">Each member of a run may be assigned an attribute designating the relative position of the member in a run. The interface allows for a prefix, suffix, start value and an increment value to be given. The system then assigns the appropriate number to each member in a certain order. You may replace the default numbering algorithm with one of your own.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Compare</div>
      <p class="para_division">The <b class="uiTerm">Compare</b> function is used to determine if one design is essentially the same as another design. The greatest use of this feature is to assure that a 3D model is in agreement with a 2D diagram. The <b class="uiTerm">Compare</b> function informs you that an item is missing (contained in the <b class="uiTerm">Compare Part</b> but not in the work part), is extra (exists in the Work Part but not in the <b class="uiTerm">Compare Part</b>), or if there is a discrepancy (item exists in both parts but one or more characteristics do not match).
      </p>
      <p class="para_division">Further functionality guides you to rectify the differences between the parts. If an item is missing, the system prepares for new part placement. If an item is extra, the system prepares for part removal. If a discrepancy exists, the system can automatically rectify the characteristic mismatch.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Disciplines and specifications</div>
      <p class="para_division">Routing Logical is capable of supporting many different types of routing designs at once.&nbsp;The system can be set up, for example, to support piping, tubing and HVAC. These are referred to as <b class="uiTerm">Disciplines</b> by Routing. Each <b class="uiTerm">Discipline</b> may have many <b class="uiTerm">Specifications</b>, which specify the types of parts that may be used based on <b class="uiTerm">Descriptor Characteristic</b> values.
      </p>
      <p class="para_division">Routing Logical supports the same constructs for <b class="uiTerm">Disciplines</b> and <b class="uiTerm">Specifications</b> as does Routing Mechanical.
