When you select this command, the selected drawings are analyzed based on the out-of-date criteria and the results are displayed in the Update Drawings Dialog.

Intergraph recommends that you backup your work or create a version of your work prior to using this command.

  • If you need to reapply template settings on a drawing or to update inserted or embedded drawing items after a version upgrade, see Refresh Template Command.

  • Update does not update any symbol whose definition has been changed into a break component. This situation occurs when you have a catalog item that has been placed in a drawing and then you change its definition to be a break component. The Smart P&ID Replace command does not allow a non-breaking component to be replaced with a break component. The Update command relies on the Smart P&ID Replace command to replace symbols that are out-of-date.

  • If an item type property has Write Modeler or Write Both permissions in Data Dictionary Manager and a symbol belonging to the item type is changed in Catalog Manager, running the Update command will NOT overwrite values assigned to this property with any default that may have been pre-defined in Catalog Manager. If the property permissions are Write Catalog in Data Dictionary Manager, Update will restore any default property values defined in Catalog Manager.

    Certain symbol properties, such as the item’s Type, are hardcoded to be set at the Catalog level. These properties should not be changed at the Modeler level, as this can result in unexpected symbol behavior.

  • If a default value has been set for a property in Data Dictionary Manager, running the Update command will overwrite null values of this property in out-of-date symbols with the default value. If a symbol has a property value other than null, this value will not be overwritten.

  • If the path to your Rules.rul file is set incorrectly in Smart P&ID Options Manager, the Update command will not work. For example, if the path is invalid, then all drawings in the project are in an out-of-date state but the software cannot update them. This error also occurs if the Catalog Explorer Root Path specified in Smart P&ID Options Manager is invalid. An error message displays and the report displays Drawings with a ? in the criteria column have missing or incorrect reference data.

  • You can enable enhanced logs for the status of recreate and update drawing workflows to diagnose, troubleshoot, and resolve any issue. See, Log Files.
