You can break the relationship of a plant item in Smart Electrical with correlated items in another authoring tool. You can do this by using the Uncorrelate command in one of the following ways:
Uncorrelate Items on the To Do List
-
On the Smart Electrical menu bar, select SmartPlant > To Do List.
-
Select a Delete, Update, or Move task.
-
Select on the To Do List toolbar.
-
Select Yes in the prompt to confirm the uncorrelation.
-
The Uncorrelate command is not available if you select multiple tasks.
-
If you run the Uncorrelate command for a Delete task, the To Do List removes this task for this item. If there are Move and Update tasks for an uncorrelated item, these tasks change to Create.
Uncorrelate Items Using the Menu Command in Smart Electrical
This option allows you to search and select plant items that you want to uncorrelate from items in other authoring tools.
-
On the Smart Electrical menu bar, select SmartPlant > Uncorrelate.
-
On the Find dialog, select Find Now.
-
In the Results data window, select the plant items that you want to uncorrelate.
-
Select OK.
At the end of the process, the software displays a message informing you that the uncorrelation has been completed successfully. If some of the plant items cannot be uncorrelated, the message will state so and refer you to the Smart Electrical log for details.
