Projects can only be checked offline. During the offline check it is possible to check the entire project, any parts of the project structure (for example all location designations) or any pages of the project. If the entire project is included in the offline check, non-placed functions, interruption points, devices, parts references and pre-planning objects are checked additionally.
Preconditions:
- You have opened a project.
- You have created schemes for check runs that contain checks which you wish to carry out offline and whose type of check is set correspondingly to "offline".
- You have opened the page navigator. In the tree of the page navigator you have marked either the project, one or more nodes of the project structure or specific pages of the project.
- Select the following commands: Tab Tools > Command group Review > Check.
- In the Check project dialog select a scheme from the Settings drop-down list.
- If you have selected individual structure components or pages of the project for the check or have called the dialog from the graphical editor by using the popup menu item Repeat: Check run you can still extend the check run to the entire project. To do so, select the Apply to entire project check box.
- Click [OK].
EPLAN checks the project according to the settings specified in the scheme. The results of the check run are written to the message database. The results of any previous check run are removed. If messages occur during the check (e.g., because certain checks could not be executed), these are listed in system message dialog. A notification informs you of this fact. - Select the following commands: Tab Tools > Command group Review > Messages.The messages stored in the message database are displayed in the Message management - <Project name> dialog.
Note:
The number of check results can be quite different and depends on the components of the project structure that you have selected for an offline check in the page navigator.
Example:If the project to be checked, for example, has an identifier structure by function designation with a subordinate location designation, and if you select in the page navigator the structure identifier of a location designation, all pages of this location designation will be checked according to your settings.
If, on the other hand, you select the structure identifier of a function designation in the page navigator, all location designations, including the subordinate pages, that belong to this function designation will be checked.
If you select the project in the page navigator, the check will be extended to all pages of the subordinate structure elements, which will foreseeably produce the highest number of check results.
If only one page of a location designation is selected in the page navigator, only this one page will be checked. The number of check results will be accordingly small.
