When a property value is changed on a process line or signal line (line) that is connected to an OPC, it is expected that the connected line in the continuation drawing should be changed in a corresponding manner. You can achieve this result with a workflow that pulls the change into the other drawing.

This workflow allows you to pull a changed property value across an OPC into the continuation drawing. When a property value is changed on a line that is connected to an OPC, an inconsistency is generated at the OPC. This inconsistency indicates that the two connected lines have different values. To resolve this inconsistency, you must close the active drawing and open the continuation drawing. In that drawing, another inconsistency is shown at the mate OPC. You can double-click on that inconsistency to display the Consistency Check dialog. A solution is displayed to Copy the new value from the first drawing onto the line in the active drawing. If you apply this solution, the value is copied into the active drawing and propagated to the related items. This resolves the inconsistency in the second drawing. The next time the first drawing is opened, the inconsistency will be resolved there as well.

If you use Plant Editing to change a property value in a non-active drawing, propagation occurs according to the System Editing rules defined for the plant and the Engineering Data Editor display is automatically updated. This includes propagation of data between non-active drawings across Off-Page Connectors (OPCs) when both drawings involved are not opened by a user. Propagation does not occur across OPCs between the active drawing and a non-active drawing.
