When copying a Reference Electrical Engineer branch that includes electrical equipment data with plant operating cases, the software behaves according to the rules described below.
The following rules apply when the plant in the Reference Electrical Engineer (the source) and the Electrical Engineer in the current plant (the target) are the same:
-
The software will copy all the electrical equipment items and all their operating case data to the appropriate operating cases that the data belongs to.
-
If you connect to the Reference Electrical Engineer in an As-Built project and copy a branch to the Electrical Engineer in As-Built, the software will copy the electrical equipment data to the appropriate operating cases if all the operating cases in the project and As-Built are exactly the same. If at least one of the operating cases is different, the software will copy only the electrical equipment data belonging to the governing case of the project. The data will be copied to the governing case of As-Built.
-
If you connect to the Reference Electrical Engineer in an As-Built and copy a branch to the Electrical Engineer in a project, the software will copy the electrical equipment data to the appropriate operating cases if all the operating cases in the project and As-Built are exactly the same. If at least one of the operating cases is different, the software will copy only the electrical equipment data belonging to the governing case of As-Built. The data will be copied to the governing case of the target project.
The following rules apply when the plants in Reference Electrical Engineer (the source) and Electrical Engineer (the target) are the different:
-
The software will only copy the electrical equipment data belonging to the governing case of the source plant. The data will be copied to the governing case of the target plant.
-
If the governing case of the target plant is not set as the active case, the software will display a message informing you that you will be able to see the copied data only after setting the governing case as the active case of your plant or if you open the Case Management dialog.
