Dialog Synchronization of master data - <Project name>

In this dialog you define which data is to be synchronized in which direction. Please note that the master data (e.g., a symbol library) is not referenced but stored in the project, i.e., copied into the project. Any master data used is also saved in the Project. Depending on the project settings specified under Options > Settings > Projects > "Project name" > Management > General, Options > Settings > Projects > "Project name" > Management > Symbol libraries, and Options > Settings > Projects > "Project name" > Reports > Output to pages you can, if necessary, manually start the synchronization of project master data with the system-specific data.

Overview of the main dialog elements:

Project master data:

The list of master data used in the project contains the following entries:

The entries are alphanumerically sorted by columns, with standard sorting being by the Name entry; if you click the Type column header, then all entries are displayed sorted by master data type.

Directories:

You can select various directories for master data synchronization from this drop-down list. To be able to do this, you must first have saved these directory settings as a scheme. This may be useful if you are using different master data directories for different companies / customers. Click [...], to open the Settings: Directories dialog and create a new scheme for the directories.

System master data:

The list of system master data contains the following entries:

Sorting corresponds to that under Project master data.

Arrow buttons:

Use the arrow buttons to store individual master data in the project or to adopt individual project master data in the system master data. Multiple selection is possible in both lists.

In both actions, EPLAN informs you in a message window as to how many project / system master data values were updated and, if the project / system master data were identical, in which case a message is also generated.

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.
