If you move or copy a drawing to a new location, the next
time that drawing is opened in
OpenPlant PID the application prompts you with the File Modification Dialog.
For example,
- The file was
moved
If you have simply moved the drawing and click OK It
prompts you with the following message, and the drawing will be opened
OpenPlant PID .
- The file was
renamed
If you have renamed the drawing and click OK It
prompts you with the following message, and the drawing will be opened
OpenPlant PID .
- The file was
copied
If the file has been copied, when you click OK, the
following message displays
Copy workflow:
If you have created a copy of PID document and defined a name to
reuse that document in OpenPlant PID then application will assign unique GUID
to all the components including copied document file as well.
Copy workflow will unlink all linked page connectors as well. It is because page connector GUID will be updated when the drawing is copied.
For Example, pid document 1 have page connectors and component whose
GUIDs can be seen as.
Now,pid document 1 has been copied and renamed as pid document 2 and
loaded in OpenPlant PID. Notice that GUIDs for the page connector and component
have changed and assigned a unique GUID to the copied document file.
So, in copy workflow, the application will assign unique GUID to
drawing and components, including all the page connectors. The InstanceID
property still shows the same value at the document level, but please notice
that this is not the federation GUID of the document. Federation GUID can only
be seen once a drawing will be pushed to PlantSight (iTwin).
When you click
OK, the drawing will be loaded into
OpenPlant PID but will not be connected to the database. You will need to
reopen the drawing to associate the drawing.
Upon reopening, when the copied drawing is associated with
the database, the drawing is synchronized and checked for duplicate tags. If
duplicate tags are found, the following message displays:
Click OK to display the
Model Validation dialog where you can fix the duplicate tag
numbers and continue on to open the drawing.
