Before you can create projects in a plant, you must activate the plant structure for projects.
When you enable a plant for projects, the plant structure becomes the Plant (often referred to as the Master or As-Built plant) and the Projects node is added under the Plant node. From this point on, all changes to the Plant and its drawings must be performed in the context of a project.
-
The Enable Projects command is not available unless you associate Smart P&ID or Smart Electrical with your plant. Applications associated with the plant are automatically associated with the project. See Associate Applications Wizard.
-
A plant cannot be enabled for projects if any drawings in the plant are in a re-create state.
-
If the plant you are enabling for projects is using Workshare, the Satellites folder under the plant structure 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.
