Synchronize
The Sync (Synchronize) option allows the user to integrate the OpenPlant PID system with PlantSight. This allows you to store drawing information on the Bentley PlantSight when working within a connected project.
The synch direction is defined in the Synchronization Settings dialog. You can also opt to be prompted with the direction every time you synchronize your changes or you can create custom buttons and assign keyins to allow sync direction.
Click OK to complete the process.
