The software allows you to run a partial merge of the project items that have already been completed. You can instruct the software to find all the completed items in a project and add them to the Project Management table. You can then examine these items and select the ones that you want to merge into As-Built.
The merge operation completely overwrites existing data in As-Built with data from
the project. For this reason, once you have committed to merge data, the changes are irreversible.
-
In an As-Built plant, click Window > New > Project Management.

Do one of the following to find the items that have been completed in the project:

Under Results, select the items that you require and click OK.
-

When merging a composite drawing, all the plant items that are associated with graphical elements on the drawing will be merged automatically on condition that they and their parent items have been completed or merged. If the status of at least one of the items or one of the parent items is not completed or merged, the software will not allow you to merge the composite drawing.
-
When merging an item that is connected in parallel with another equipment item, the software automatically merges all the items that are connected in parallel to the scoped item. For example, if you select Motor-1 that has been connected in parallel with Motor-2 and Motor-3, the software will also automatically merge Motor-2 and Motor-3 and their upstream items all the way to their power sources.
