New Version skips open drawings, notes them in the log, and then continues.
-
If no changes have been made to the drawing since the last version was created, no new version is created.
-
When a drawing is checked in to the Plant, all versions are deleted from the project.
-
When a drawing version is created, it is stored in a database segment named LOBSEGMENT. This space is not reclaimed when drawing versions are deleted. However, if you delete the older version of a drawing before creating a new version, then the database size will not increase rapidly. Deleting older version will create free space in LOBSEGMENT (without decreasing the total LOBSEGMENT size) which will be available for storing future drawing versions.
-
Use the Schedule button to create a task for creating drawing versions at a later time or on a regular interval. Follow the instructions on the Schedule Task Wizard (for details, see Scheduling Tasks).
