Alternative Identification

For the properties comparison of projects using "Alternative identification", objects are not identified according to their internal object ID, but according to candidate keys (certain identifying properties). This is handy for automatically generated projects because internal object IDs are reallocated every time.

A candidate key is a minimal quantity of properties that uniquely identifies an object. The identifying properties are preset by EPLAN.

In projects selected for comparison, two objects to be compared to each other are found as follows:
