Replacing a Logical Design

Association

You can replace a logical design association with a newer revision of that design.

When you do this, the topological design retains the device placement and wiring for common devices and nets from those logical design revisions.

Prerequisites

The new design revision must have been created in Capital Logic Designer or Capital Project Manager.
If you are working in managed mode (where a build list association is used), the new design revision must be added to the associated build list and the old one must be removed.

Procedure

Follow the appropriate procedure from the table.

If you want to...	Do the following:
Replace an old design revision with a new revision in managed mode (where a build list association is used)	Open the topological design in Capital Systems Integrator; an “Update design associations?” message is displayed. Click Review Changes, the Associate Wiring Designs Dialog Box is displayed and indicates the changes that are suggested as a result of the build list changes. Click OK to accept the changes.
Replace an old design revision with a new revision in non-managed mode (where individual design associations are used)	With the topological design open in Capital Systems Integrator, press the space bar and enter Associate Logical Designs; the Associate Wiring Designs Dialog Box is displayed. Click the Add associated designs button (); the Add Selected Logical Design Dialog Box is displayed. In the Logical designs window, select the new logical design revision and click Add Selected; the design revision is added to the Associated Designs window in the Associate Wiring Designs dialog box. The following icons indicate that the new one will replace the old. Click OK to save the changes.

The following icons indicate that the new one will replace the old. Click OK to save the changes.

Results

The topological design retains the device placement and wiring for common parts of those logical designs or design revisions.
New devices are ready to be placed.
New nets are ready to have wiring synthesized.
