Setting an Active Build List

You can set an active build list in Capital E/E Publisher. When a build list is active, any cross-references in the build list designs will list only those instances in designs on the active build list. In an active build list, should you open a diagram that is not on that build list, the system asks you to set an alternative build list as active.

Note

Setting an active build list within a Capital E/E Publisher design does not set the analysis scope to that build list. See the “Scoping” topic in the Capital Analysis User Guide for more information.
