Keyboard Command line: SYNC

Checks all components in the drawing and updates their attributes to the current values in the database. This command displays the Synchronize dialog box.

Use this command when more than one person is working in the project database. For example, if a value (such as a valve specification) is deleted in the database by another user and that value is visible in your drawing, the field displays <…> as the value after Synchronize Synchronize is clicked.

  • P&ID can automatically synchronize the drawing with the database whenever it is opened. The SyncOnStartUp variable controls this option.

  • When a component is deleted from a drawing, it is marked for deletion in the database. When the drawing is saved and closed, the deletion takes place in the database. If the drawing is not saved, the item is not deleted.
