Publishes the selected drawing or drawings. The Publish dialog box displays the status of the operation.

The act of publishing a drawing actually bundles the drawing and its related data and places it as a "blob" object in the host database.

In a connected Workshare collaboration, when the satellite uses the Get Latest Version from Remote command, the published "blob" is copied from the host database to the satellite site database. At the satellite site, the "blob" is then unpacked and the drawing is placed in the local file system while its related data is placed in the local Smart P&ID database.

In a standalone Workshare collaboration, the published "blob" is automatically extracted into a published zip file. The Publish command derives which sites have been given subscribe access to the drawings being published and places the published zip files in the target WSPublish folder in individual folders corresponding to each subscribing site, allowing you to more easily determine which published zip files to transmit to a given site. The receiving site then uses the Get Latest Version from Local command to unpack the zip file, placing the drawing in the local file system and the related data into the local Smart P&ID database.

For mixed Workshare collaborations, the publishing process detects the types of satellites involved and performs the appropriate actions. For example, when a drawing is published for both a standalone and a connected satellite, the Publish command creates the published zip file in the WSPublish folder and places the corresponding "blob" in the database.

  • For standalone Workshare collaborations, before the connected satellite site can access the published drawing, you must grant subscription access to or assign ownership of the drawing to the satellite site.

  • For standalone Workshare collaborations, if you do not grant subscription access to or assign ownership of a drawing before you publish it, the published drawing zip file will not be created in the WSPublish folder.

  • Satellite-to-satellite data transfer is not supported in standalone Workshare.

  • Published zip files in the WSPublish folder are overwritten without warning as needed by subsequent publishes.

  • When using Workshare in an integrated environment, satellites must transfer drawing ownership back to the host in order for the host to publish the drawings and in order for retrieved documents to have tasks updated within the satellite drawings.
