Access SmartPlant Foundation revisioning to create a Major and optional Minor revision for a Smart Drawing, depending on the revision schemes that are defined in SmartPlant Foundation. Unlike Smart Models, you do not have to revise a Smart Drawing to publish it. You can use the revision information in the metadata file for Smart 3D drawings. If you use this file revision information, the Revision columns in the Smart Drawings Grid are not populated.
The steps below describe how to modify Major and Minor revision data using the revisioning schema defined in SmartPlant Foundation.
To revise, check the following:
-
Register your project to SmartPlant Foundation. See Register with SmartPlant.
-
You must have the SIP (Smart Interop Publisher Adaptor to SmartPlant Foundation) license.
-
Select the project containing the Smart Drawings to open.
-
From the Drawings View, select the Smart Drawings, and then click Revise
.
Use CTRL+ or SHIFT+ to select multiple Smart Drawings.
-
(Optional) If you have a password set up to SmartPlant Foundation, you need to login. The SmartPlant Foundation Login message can also display if you do not have a SmartPlant Foundation account. Type your User name and Password, and then click OK.
Smart Interop Publisher displays the Revise Dialog.
-
If this is the first time to revise your Smart Drawing and a revision scheme has not yet been defined, select the revision scheme to use from the Revision Scheme list.
Only revision schemes that are applicable to the configuration (plant) or classification
(document type) are available in the shortcut menu. The revision schemes related to
a configuration or classification are not available for any other configurations or
classifications. See Configure different revision scheme strategies.
-
In the Revise in Tool section, select the next available major and minor revision numbers.
-
Set other required options indicated by asterisks (*) in the Revise Dialog, and click OK.
The document is saved to the model database. The software creates a revision record by adding it to the document Revision properties and reserves the revision number. Smart Interop Publisher updates the SPF Document Major Revision, SPF Document Minor Revision, and Revision Status columns in the Smart Drawings Grid.
-
You can publish the Smart Drawing to SmartPlant Foundation. See Publish.
