If multiple objects are selected and only some of them are locked, a message appears. 1.Press OK to change the state of the objects that are not locked, or Cancel to close without making any changes. If all selected objects are locked, no changes are made. |
Change state on one or several objects
1.Välj Edit > Change State.
2.Select one or more objects. A dialog box will open.
3.Select a new state in the list New state.
4.Press OK.
5.Review the summary showing how many objects will change states and to which state, and press Yes to apply the change.
Switch to a state that requires disconnection
If you change to a state that requires disconnection and the object is still connected to other objects, a dialog box appears with information about the connections. You can then select Disconnect and change state to disconnect the object and complete the state change at the same time.
When disconnected, the object’s external links are disconnected from the network. Child objects within the selected objects retain their internal connections. If the object is still connected after the attempt, a message appears stating that the state change failed and that the object must be disconnected manually using the connection tool.
Change the state of parent and child objects
If the selected object has child objects, this is displayed in the dialog box.
•Check the box if the child objects should also be changed to the new state.
•Leave the box unchecked if only the selected parent object should be changed.
