Resolving conflicts in the Dataset

In situations where both internal changes to the dataset and external changes to the disk dataset have occurred, a conflict in the dataset ensues. The dataset cannot merge changes. Changes must be accepted to the disk dataset (whereby refreshing the dataset), or the disk dataset must be over written with the dataset.



The Dataset Synchronization dialog appears when the enabled icon is selected

The Conflict Resolution section appears only when there is a conflict. The highlighted list box item is the file containing the conflict. Select the overwrite option to overwrite the disk dataset, or click OK to replace the dataset with the disk dataset, or click Cancel to dismiss the dialog.

Important: The conflict must be resolved prior to closing the application.
Note: There is a backup system in Family/Part Editor when choosing to overwrite the disk dataset with a dataset. If a backup with the same name has occurred previously, the file name is modified to “Copy of” to avoid conflicts. If no backups have occurred, then the backup copy is placed in the original dataset directory.
