The following workflow shows how the Marked for Deletion and the Overwrite task work when creating an instrument in one Smart P&ID drawing and then moving the instrument to a different Smart P&ID drawing, and publishing to Smart Instrumentation without making any changes to the instrument. The Overwrite task is similar to the Update task but is only used by the software when just the Unique ID number needs updating.

The Overwrite task is not dependent on the Marked for Deletion preference being selected.

MFD-04A

  1. An instrument is created in a Smart P&ID drawing and is published to Smart Instrumentation.

  2. After publication to Smart Instrumentation a Create task is added to the To Do List.

  3. The Create task is run from the To Do List and the new instrument is created in the Domain Explorer in Smart Instrumentation.

  4. The instrument is then deleted (cut) from the first Smart P&ID drawing (1) and the Smart P&ID drawing (1) is published to Smart Instrumentation.

  5. After publication to Smart Instrumentation a Marked for Deletion task is created in the To Do List.

  6. The cut instrument from the first Smart P&ID drawing is then pasted to a new Smart P&ID drawing which is then published to Smart Instrumentation.

  7. After publication an Overwrite task is created in the To Do List

  8. There now exist 2 tasks for the same instrument in the To Do List, the Overwrite task and the Marked for Deletion task. If you now run the Overwrite task, the Marked for Deletion task is removed and the instrument in Smart Instrumentation has its Unique ID number updated to that of the instrument in the second P&ID drawing.

    If you change the Mark for Deletion task to Delete and run the Delete task the instrument is deleted from Smart Instrumentation, but the Overwrite task is not removed from the To Do List. Refreshing the To Do List or regenerating the task turns the Overwrite task into a Create task.
