Some drawing items, such as off-page connectors, instrument loops, and utility connectors, require special handling when using Workshare. Because these items can be shared by more than one drawing, any modifications made to a drawing at another site may have ramifications for the shared items contained in that drawing. Consequently you must synchronize these shared items.

  • Connectors (OPCs such as off-unit connector, off-page connector, and utility connector) — To be sure that OPCs synchronize properly, when placing a connector in a drawing at your site, use the Move Partner OPC command in the Smart P&ID Modeler to specify the drawing at another site on which the partner OPC should be placed. After synchronizing shared items at both sites, the partner OPC is transferred to the drawing stockpile for the specified drawing at the other site.

Plant Item Groups (instrument loop, package, safety class, and test system) — These items can be placed only in the stockpile. To share these items with another site, first place them in the stockpile in Smart P&ID and then set the IsShared property in the Properties window to True. After synchronizing shared items at both sites, this plant item group appears in the stockpile at the other site and can now be associated with items at that site, but can only be modified by the originating site.
