Dialog Synchronization of parts - <Project name>

In this dialog you define which data is to be synchronized in which direction. Please note that the parts are stored in the project, i.e., copied to the project, rather than being referenced. This means that the parts used are saved in the Project.

Overview of the main dialog elements:

Stored parts:

The list of parts used in the project contains the following entries:

The entries are sorted in alphanumeric order in columns; by default they are sorted by Part number entry. If you click the Variant column, all the entries are shown sorted by variant number.

System parts:

The list of system parts contains the following entries:

These entries are also sorted in alphanumeric order in columns; by default they are sorted by Part number entry. If you click the Variant column, all the entries are shown sorted by variant number.

Popup menu:

Command

Meaning

Select all

Selects all the elements in the list.

Adjust column width

Adjusts the width of all table columns so that both the headings and column contents are fully legible.

Open hyperlink

Allows opening of external documents or an image file, as long as this is assigned to the part in the parts management.

Configure representation

Opens the Configure representation dialog in which you can define the properties to be displayed in the list.

Arrow buttons:

Use the arrow buttons to store individual system parts in the project, or to transfer individual parts that are stored in the project to the system master data. Multiple selection is possible in both lists.

EPLAN opens a message window to tell you to how many parts / system parts were updated; another message is generated if the stored parts and system parts are identical.

Filter:

This drop-down list displays all the available filters. A chosen filter is activated automatically. The entry "- Not activated -" deactivates the filter and causes an unfiltered display of the data.

Replaces outdated stored parts in the project with more recent system parts.
