Thanks. I gave this a try but it didn't work as this seems to be a = little more of a specific case: I reloaded the CP's on top of the existing FoxCAE database. The only = changes made were to LOOPID's. The intention is that I'm trying to move = some blocks to different loops within FoxCAE by manipulating the LOOPID = of those blocks. When I reload, the modified LOOPID's are updated in the = block parameters in FoxCAE. However, I'm not given the option to = re-backdocument these blocks and therefore I cannot have them relocate = to their intended loops. Is there a way to force a reload of the loops with the new block = LOOPID's?

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.

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?
