Import Templates and Incremental Update

In the following example, the import of the template initially creates PUMP P-101 and P&ID PID200_Sht_1. A template with the same ID is imported at the next update run and exists briefly as a successor to the original. This creates PUMP-102 and an extra reference to the P&ID. The Import Server then removes the earlier instance of the template.

The following diagram refers to the situation after the update with the deleted objects greyed out. The P&ID and PUMP P-102 are still referenced and so they exist, whereas PUMP P-101 is no longer referenced and hence it has been deleted.

The presence of is a template referring to associations has maintained the existence of the P&ID object, its identifier and classification throughout the update.
