This workflow describes two simultaneous edit sessions of the same original project using duplicate databases. The two edit sessions then combine the edit session data to provide a single project.

  1. Create a new project. For the rest of this example, this new project is referred to as the original project.

  2. Place a comment with the following attributes:

    Text = Example workflow comment Original 1

    • Creator = User

    • Discipline = Engineer

    • Background = orange

  3. Save all the comment Attributes and Symbology values as defaults by clicking Save as Defaults on the respective tabs.

  4. Place another comment with the following attributes:

    Text = Example workflow comment Original 2

  5. Save and copy the project database to a different folder so that you can edit it later to simulate parallel edit sessions.

    • In a real-world scenario, you might copy the project to two different locations for parallel reviewing and editing. For the purposes of this example, leave the database as it is and perform a separate comment edit session using the attributes of the comments.

    • The current project database can now be thought of as project one.

  6. Place another comment with the following attributes:

    Text = Example workflow comment Project 1-1

    • Discipline = Scheduling

    • Background = blue

  7. Save all the comment Attributes and Symbology values as defaults by clicking Save as Defaults on their respective tabs.

  8. Save and copy this project database to a folder different than the one used previously for saving the original project database.

  9. Exit the project.

  10. Replace the current project database with the first database you saved after you added the original comments.

    The project is now project two.

  11. Open project two.

  12. Place another comment with the following attributes:

    Text = Example workflow comment Project 2-1

    • Discipline = Inspector

    • Background = green

  13. Save all the project Attributes and Symbology values as defaults by clicking Save as Defaults on their respective tabs.

  14. Place another comment with the following attributes:

    Text = Example workflow comment Project 2-2.

  15. Import the following comment:

    • Click File > Import > Comments.

    • Select the second saved database file that represents project two comments.

    • Select the comment with “Project 1-1” in its text field.

    • Verify that the comment append and renumbering check box is selected in the Import dialog box.

    • Click Import.

    • Click Close.

The imported comment becomes the highest numbered comment during the renumbering import.
