If errors occur, the software tracks these discrepancies and records them in the Window > To Do List Command. Possible errors concern flow direction and listing of left- and right-handed parts. For example, if you mirror a piping configuration and connect it to another object with a different flow direction, the software reports an error. Also, left- and right-handed parts must appear correctly on parts lists.
-
Properties of the modified objects match the original objects with some exceptions. Standard revision and status properties are updated. The software updates named objects, based on the name rule (that is, the software does not update the named object if you defined the name rule, while the software does update the named object for system-defined name rules). The software automatically updates properties that track location or orientation.
