Creating

a Revision of a Shared Object in a Functional Design

This topic describes how to create a revision of a shared object in a functional design.

Procedure

  1. Right-click on the shared object and select the Create Revision option from the pop-up menu. Alternatively, click on the object, press Space Bar and enter Create Revision, or click the Create Revision () toolbar icon in the Shared Objects Browser Window.

  2. The Create Revision facility is displayed. You must enter a unique name and revision combination. You can either keep the previously used name, enter a new name or click the ellipsis (...) button to select a name that has been defined in Capital Project Manager.If you enter a combination that is already in use, the text changes to red. You cannot edit the Short Description field. If you want to swap out the original shared object revision for the new revision in designs, select Swap Out Revision.

  3. Click the OK button to exit the facility. The new revision is listed under the original shared object revision in the Shared Objects Browser Window. If you selected Swap Out Revision, the Swap Out Revision Dialog [2] is displayed where you select the design revisions in which you want to swap out the shared object revisions. See Swapping Out Shared Objects for a Compatible Revision for more details.
