Revising resources

In Resource Manager you can revise and save individual resource components with several options.

Note

Resource Manager always saves resources using the Precise revision rule. When you open an assembly, you see exactly those revisions of components that were used at the time it was saved. For best results, you should always view resource assemblies using the Precise revision rule.

Revise individual resource components

Procedure

1. Open the individual resource component as the root component.

2. Follow standard revision procedures.

Revise individual resource components, including all assemblies in which this resource is contained

The Revise (incl. Super-Assemblies) option in Resource Manager allows you to revise a component, in addition to all latest revisions of super-assemblies containing that component. Consider an example where you have three resource assemblies, Assembly 1/C, Assembly 2/A and Assembly 3/F. Each of these three assemblies contains multiple components, but all assemblies contain Component 3/A. If you revise Component 3/A using the Revise (incl. Super-Assemblies), the resulting assemblies are as follows:

Before revisioning	After revisioning
Assembly 1/C Component 1/A Component 2/A Component 3/A	Assembly 1/D Component 1/A Component 2/A Component 3/B
Assembly 2/A Component 1/A Component 3/A Component 4/D	Assembly 2/B Component 1/A Component 3/B Component 4/D
Assembly 3/F Component 3/A	Assembly 3/G Component 3/B

All original items in the database remain unchanged. Resource Manager creates three new assembly item revisions containing the revised components.

Revise individual resource components including super-assemblies

Procedure

1. Open the resource that you want to revise as the root node. This resource can be a resource assembly.

2. Choose File→Revise (incl. Super-Assemblies).

   If the resource that you are revising is contained in the latest revision of other assemblies, Resource Manager lists these and asks if you want to continue to revise all super-assemblies.

   When you click Yes, the resource is revised. Resource Manager also saves all super-assemblies as new revisions that you can find using the Classification Search Dialog. The new assembly revisions contain the revised component.
   
   
   When you click No, Resource Manager only saves the selected resource. The new item revision is not contained in any super-assembly.
