Greg, I agree. That is the right understanding of IACC. It is an
improvement over ICC, but it's not the be all and end all of possible
configurators.
But, it has lots of features that make configuration easier, but
documentation is only marginally better than ICC.

This is pretty much what we've done in the one plant where we have IACC,
and it works fine.
I think the concern comes in from the fact that people thought (or at
least
hoped) that IACC would provide significant improvement over ICC/FoxCAE
as a
documentation tool. Setting it up as one database per CP eliminates the
possibility of using it to document peer-to-peer connections. I imagine
this is a significant concern for many users.
I've come to see IACC as an incremental improvement over ICC. We don't
do
any bulk building in our live plant and we don't use it to generate any
documentation. However, it has some features which may seem small at
first
glance but are actually very signficant time savers on many occasions.
Among these are the ability to insert/delete/copy/paste CALC block steps
and the ability to use an Excel-like syntax for constructing block
parameters (comes in very handy when building many copies of blocks that
are very similar to each other).
