-
In the Plant Structures node, select the plant that you want to enable for projects.
-
Select Projects > Enable Projects.
-
The Enable Projects command is not available unless you associate Smart P&ID or Smart Electrical with your plant. All applications associated with the Plant are automatically associated with every project created in the Plant.
-
When you enable a plant for projects, the plant structure becomes the Plant (often referred to as the Master or As-Built plant) and all drawings in the Plant are locked down. All changes to the Plant and its drawings must be performed in the context of a project. To edit a drawing in project mode, you must use Smart P&ID Drawing Manager to fetch the drawing from the Plant into a project. To maintain one reference data source for all projects in the Plant, only the Plant can modify the reference data. See Fetch a Drawing in the Smart P&ID Drawing Manager Help.
-
If the plant you are enabling for projects is using Workshare, the Satellites folder under the plant structure node is removed when projects are enabled. Therefore, before enabling projects in a plant structure containing active satellites, you must transfer all drawings from the satellites back to the host and delete all satellites from the plant.
