Update Spec Driven Data

Changes to drawings resulting from changes to Spec Driven Project Configuration settings are not automatically implemented when project drawings are loaded. The user must make these changes "manually" in each drawing after it has loaded. This procedure is used to highlight "out of spec" items that may require updating by the user.

Note: "Out of spec" items resulting from changes to valve code rules are highlighted using a separate procedure. Refer to Update Component Spec Codes.

Example:

Out of spec items highlighted in magenta:

Associated Project Configuration Options

• This procedure is used to highlight "out of spec" items resulting from changes to the settings on the Spec Driven Configuration Category of the AVEVA P&ID Project Administration program.

• The highlight colours of "out of spec" items are also selected in that configuration category.

Procedure

1. Start the procedure by selecting the Update Spec Driven Data option in the Project Configuration group of the Utilities tab. It is recommended that a Zoom Extents is performed before proceeding.

2. The command prompt will display:

   Regenerating model.

   Symbols on the drawing are then checked against the new settings and the drawing is regenerated so that the symbols that are now "out of spec" are displayed in the colour selected for such items in the project settings.

3. The command prompt will display then number of symbols that are out of spec, the number of symbols which are in spec, and the colour in which out of spec symbols are displayed, for example:

   7 symbols are out of spec; 68 symbols are Ok; Symbols highlighted in 6 colour are out of spec

   The command ends automatically.
