Synchronizing a Variant

Position Connector

Any edits made to a primary position connector will not be automatically applied to its variants; they must be synchronized manually.

Edits made to a variant position connector cannot be synchronized back to the primary position connector.

Manual changes to connector variants are maintained on re-synchronization.

The following changes will be updated during synchronization:

  • Attributes

  • Properties

  • Additional Components

  • Terminated Wires

The following changes will not be updated during synchronization:

  • Any additional comment symbols associated with the primary position connector

  • Any in-edit styling overrides applied to the primary position connector

Synchronization can be performed for a single variant, for all variants of a primary position connector, or for all variants on a design:

  • To synchronize a single variant position connector with updated information from its primary position connector, right-click the variant position connector and select Synchronize From Primary Position Connector.

  • To synchronize all variant position connectors with updated information from the primary position connector to which they belong, right-click the primary position connector and select Synchronize Variant Position Connectors.

  • To synchronize all variant position connectors on a design with updated information from their primary position connectors, press Space Bar and enter Variant Position Objects. Note Synchronize Variant Position Objects will synchronize all variant position connectors and splices on a design.

  • To synchronize all variant position wiring on a design to ensure that all primary connectors and primary splices contain the correct wiring, press Space Bar and enter Variant Position Wiring.
