Updating Parts from Library

The Update parts from library function is used to replace objects which were placed in the workspace / workdesk, but were modified in the active library at one point. Independent of their type, all objects can be replaced with this function at once, with the rules for replacing certain object types being taken into account (replacing connectable objects, connectors, terminals, special components, cables, leading parts, etc.).

  1. Select the Tools > Update parts from library menu items.

    The Update parts from library dialog is opened.
  2. Activate the Higher revision only (1.0.x) check box if only those parts are available for replacement which were saved after they were placed in the workspace / workdesk and whose major / minor version was not increased in the meantime. With each backup in EPLAN Harness proD Library, an internal version number - a so-called "revision" - is increased.
  3. Activate the Higher version or revision (x.x.x) check box if parts with both increased major / minor version and revision are to be available for replacement.
  4. Select the parts to be replaced.
  5. Click [Start].

    The result of the replaced and the not-replaced parts is displayed. Parts which were not replaced are listed in a red, strikethrough font.
  6. Click [Finish] to close the dialog.

Note:

The rules for replacing parts also apply when using this function. See the link below.
