New
The
New command is used when you want to create a new
specification. When executing the command,
OpenPlant Specification Generator will unload all
other specs and catalogs and resets all spec level settings providing a clean
interface to begin building the new spec. The new spec is built from the ground
up using the
OpenPlant Specification Generator options to add
the spec sections, headers, filters etc.
