Resetting design basis for retrieved documents - Integration - Update 46 - Help - Hexagon

Objects that tools retrieve from other authoring tool documents can become the design basis for objects in downstream documents. Objects that become the design basis for other objects can be specific objects that accumulate more data as they move through the lifecycle or can be schematic or logical objects in one application that evolve into more detailed objects downstream.

Design basis is implicitly based on retrieval, which means you do not have to define it. For example, a pump retrieved from a Process Flow Diagrams becomes the design basis for a pump in the Smart P&ID document. When you change common properties for the pump and retrieve the changes into Smart P&ID, tasks to update property values are automatically added to the To Do List. The same process works for logical items that are a design basis for other items, such as a stream in Aspen Basic Engineering that results in multiple pipe runs in Smart P&ID.

Beginning of the project

1. Click SmartPlant > Reset Design Basis.

2. In the Reset Design Basis options section, select the Reset Design Basis to the beginning of the project option.

3. In Document options section, select the Reset all retrieved documents or Reset only one document with the specified UID option.

   If you select Reset only one document with the specified UID, the drop-down list is enabled to select document UID.

4. Click OK.

GMT time

1. Click SmartPlant > Reset Design Basis.

2. In the Reset Design Basis options section, select the Reset Design Basis by GMT time option.

3. Set the date and time in the Reset Design Basis to the time specified option.

4. In the Document options section, select the Reset all retrieved documents or Reset only one document with the specified UID option.

   If you select the Reset only one document with the specified UID, the drop-down list is enabled to select a document UID.

5. Click OK.

Document version

1. Click SmartPlant > Reset Design Basis.

2. In the Reset Design Basis options section, select the Reset Design Basis by version option.

3. Select a document UID in The UID of the document that needs to be reset drop-down list.

4. Select a document version in The UID of the document version to which the design basis is being reset drop-down list.
