User-Specified Drawing Classifications

(COST, ICARUS 2000 and ICARUS Process Evaluator)

The two character drawing classification code is composed of a letter which signifies the major account (e.g., piping),
and a number which indicates the group of disciplines performing the work (e.g., engineers and draftsmen). Thus, a
drawing classification of P4 describes a small scale piping model.
