Generating Revisions

Preconditions:

  1. Select the following menu items: Utilities > Revision control > Change tracking > Generate revision
  2. Enter a name and optionally a comment text for the revision in the corresponding fields in the Generate revision dialog.
  3. Click [OK].

    EPLAN generates the revision under the specified name.

    If you generate a revision for a standard project, the project becomes a revision project, that is, the file extension changes from *.elk to*.ell.

    If a page is then modified, it is marked as a "draft".

Tip:

If you have selected the Generate reference project when new revision of completed project is created check box in the project settings (Options > Settings > Projects > 'Project name' > Management > Revision (change tracking)), a reference project (i.e. a write-protected copy of the project) is also generated when you generate a new revision of a completed project.

Generating a revision for a defined working section

Note:

In order for a revision to be generated for a defined working section the project itself may not be revisioned. However, it is conversely possible to generate a project-wide revision if the project already contains revisioned defined working sections.

Preconditions:

  1. Select the following menu items: Utilities > Revision control > Change tracking > Generate revision
  2. Enter a name and optionally a comment text for the revision in the corresponding fields in the Generate revision dialog.
  3. Click [OK].

    EPLAN generates the revision under the specified name.

    The revision is assigned to the current defined working section.

    The project becomes a revision project, meaning that the file extension is changed from *.elk to *.ell.

    If a page is then modified, it is marked as a "draft".
