Travis,
Don't delete the current blocks in FoxCAE. Just load the uploaded blocks
back on top of the FoxCAE database. All changed parameters get replaced. New
block you have to back document or to add to existing loops.

Subject: [foxboro] FoxCAE Backdocumentation
Hello list. I am trying to run a backdocumentation of our system using
FoxCAE. I would like to use the method using LOOPID's to create loops based
on the current system configuration. To do this I took the following steps:
1. first uploaded all CP's
2. Selected "Undoc" blocks
3. Selected all compounds
4. Use the backdocumentation command (checked "Use the LOOPID parameter" &
checked "Update Existing Loop information")
This created loops exactly as I want. I am then able to enter info into the
loop sheets such as titles, refs etc.
Now, I would like to update these loops with a fresh system configuration.
To do this I took the following steps:
1. Deleted all current blocks, compounds, & CP's in FoxCAE (while leaving
the loops remaining with title block info etc).
2. Re-upload all CP's
3. Selected "Undoc" blocks
4. Use the backdocumentation command (checked "Use the LOOPID parameter" &
checked "Update Existing Loop information")
Basically this is the same procedure as before. Only now, the blocks do not
get updated into their original loops (named after the LOOPID). Now the
blocks are exported to new loops with the following naming convention:
'COMPOUND''LOOPID'.
My question is: How do I update existing loops with new CP uploads while
keeping the original loops (with my manually entered title block info) that
were created from the first backdocumentation?
Thanks,
Travis
