Step 7. Specification.
Ventpack library elements exist in the drawing as AutoCAD blocks, containing all
information about each object that can be exported to text file or a spreadsheet
program using "list of elements". This command opens a dialog box (Figure 7.)
that gives the designer a preview of the number and properties of drafted elements.

The list of elements contains complete descriptions of each product:
- Symbol and type of the system
- Number assigned to each element
- Quantity
- Type, name and accessories
- Dimensions
- Material
- Color
- Area (for ducting)
- Name of manufacturer
- Remarks (such as finishing)
- Numeric and generic codes
The Excel file created and transformed automatically (Figure 8.) contains all
information needed by the designer for the material specification, in a ready to print format.
Moreover, the steel sheet area for rectangular ducts is also calculated.
Data is inserted into a formatted table, automatically dividing into pages while
preserving the title row on each page, and also providing for the possibility of
language selection (Polish, English, French, German, Hungarian).

While designers typically require the specification in the form of Excel worksheets,
the text file can be used for importing data to other programs, such as those intended
for estimating manufacturing costs of the selected equipment. Ventpack constitutes an
important link between the designer, investor, contractor and manufacturer,
enabling quick cost estimation for the entire installation. In many cases,
manufacturing can be started or equipment ordered directly based on material
specifications generated by Ventpack.
