Preconditions:
- You have opened a standard project (file extension *.elk) or a revision project (file extension *.ell).
- You have completed all pages of the revision project.
- Select the following commands: File > Revision control > Command group Modifications > Change tracking > Generate revision.
- Enter a name and optionally a comment text for the revision in the corresponding fields in the Generate revision dialog.
- 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 (File > 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:
- You have opened a standard project (file extension *.elk).
- You have selected and activated a defined working section that does not overlap another defined working section.
- You have completed a defined working section.
- Select the following commands: File > Revision control > Command group Modifications > Change tracking > Generate revision.
- Enter a name and optionally a comment text for the revision in the corresponding fields in the Generate revision dialog.
- 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".
