Re: [foxboro] FoxCAE Backdocumentation

You can't force a reload of a loop. You need to delete the loop in the 'Loop
Database' in order to regenerate it with new/added blocks or you have to
manually move the blocks to the new loops.

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?

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
