Capital Project Manager

Restrictions

There are restrictions to the actions that are available in Capital Project Manager, if you have read-only or no domain access to the domains assigned to shared objects in a design or project.

Actions

on Shared Objects and Folders

Action	Access
Create object	Yes (only domains you have read-write domain access are available to assign to the object)
Report Usages	Yes

Action	Read-Only Domain Access	No Domain Access
Edit	No (opens dimmed dialog box)	No (shared object is displayed () in the Project Browser Tree)
Properties	No
Freeze / Unfreeze	No
Create Revision	Yes (revision will retain the same domain as the previous revision)
Delete	No (dimmed)
Show Usages	Yes
Report Usages	Yes
Swap Out Revision	Yes (swap only to revisions that have no domain, or to a read‑write domain you have domain access to)

Action	Read-Only Domain Access	No Domain Access
Freeze/Unfreeze Shared Objects	No (shared object is hidden in the dialog box)	No (shared object is hidden in the dialog box)
Delete Unused Shared Objects
Release Reservations	No	No
Report Usages	Yes	No

Note

If you have read-write domain access, you can access and filter the list of shared objects in the Project Browser Tree based on the assigned domains.

Actions

on Designs

Action	Read-Only Domain Access	No Domain Access
Edit	Yes	Yes
Freeze/Unfreeze Shared Objects	No	No
Create Revision	Yes	No
Create Evaluate	Yes	No
Copy Within Current Project	Yes	No
Copy Advanced (see also “Copying Designs From One Project to Another”)	Yes	No
Compare	Yes	No
Export Design	Yes	No
Assign ECO	Yes	No (dimmed)
Restore from backup	No	No
Delete	No	No

Actions

on Copy Advanced / Import Designs

For designs that contain shared objects with assigned domains that you do not have access to:

• Source designs — Action will fail and a message is displayed.

• Target designs — Overwrite of target design functionality is not available, and you must create a new design / revision.

For designs that contain shared objects with assigned domains that you have read-only access to:

• You can create new shared objects but can only assign domains that you have read-write domain access to.

• If you have read-only access to shared objects, you can revise the shared object but the source revision domain is retained.

• The copy advanced / import action fails, if the result will modify data on a shared object that you have read-only access to.

• Read-only objects can be mapped in source and target designs only when all the attributes and parameters, such as name, revision, and abstraction are the same, and do not modify the read-only shared object in the target design.

• You cannot unfreeze read-only shared objects.

Design Abstraction Mapping Examples

If you have changed the default design abstraction mapping of shared objects:

• The shared objects in the target design will be updated with the shared object domains in the source design, if you have read-write domain access to shared objects.

• In any scenario that would modify shared objects which you have read-only domain access to, the action will fail.

• If the source design domains are not available on the target project or database, the domains are removed from the shared objects.

Copy Advanced / Import Design Dialog Box Restrictions

The available options on shared objects with read-only domain access are restricted on the following tabs:

• Shared Pin Lists Editing.

Disassociate for auto mapped read-only shared objects.

Disassociate All and Associate All, in the mapped lists of objects.

• Shared Conductors Editing.

• Shared Pin Association Defaults No options can change / impact read-only shared objects.

Note

If you have read-only domain access to some of the shared objects in a design, a message is displayed to warn you that a revision of the shared objects will be created.

Importing

Projects and Designs

If the domains on an imported project do not exist in the Capital database, the domains assigned on the incoming designs and any shared objects are removed.

When you import design data that includes shared objects with a domain assigned, the domain value is preserved on the migrated design data, if the same domain is assigned on your user account.

Restrictions

on Additional Actions

Action	Read-Only Domain Access	No Domain Access
Release Design	No	No
Export Design / Project (Current or Selected) / CED‑Export	Yes	No
Design Export FEM task	Yes	No
Manage Designs (revising using Manage Designs)	Yes	No
Pre‑Migrate Export Task	Yes	No
Migrate Import Task	Yes	No
Advanced Naming	No (shared objects are bypassed)	No

Note

The Release Design action is aborted in the following scenarios:

• If you have read-write domain access to release designs, shared objects cannot be frozen as part of the releasing process.

• If the design has shared objects for which you have no domain access, and the Unfreeze Shared Objects release behavior is selected for that release level.

• If the read-only shared object cannot be frozen as part of the releasing process.

Action	Read-Only Domain Access	No Domain Access
Design Revision	Yes	No
Export Project Design	Yes	No
Import Design	Yes (same behavior as defined for the Import Design actions)	No
Batch Delete Designs	No (designs cannot be deleted)	No
Revise and associate multiple designs	Yes	No
Release Design / Release Multiple Designs	No	No
Bridge transfer and Import capital exchange	Yes	No
