Lock Parts

HiCAD offers the possibility to lock parts for other users; for example to protect it from accidental changing of parts. These parts are marked with a corresponding symbol in the ICN.

 

For some Plant Engineering functions, a note is displayed in such cases to indicate the lock. The form of the message depends on the respective function.

 

If a pipeline is locked, the following functions display a corresponding hint directly during the selection (some only if they are not called via context menu):

Plant Engineering > Pipeline Tools > Move

Plant Engineering > Pipeline Tools > Assign > Edit flow

Plant Engineering > Pipeline Tools > Change > Merge

Plant Engineering > Part Tools > Exchange > Connect pipe

Plant Engineering > Pipeline Tools > Assign > Change colour

Plant Engineering > Pipeline Tools > Assign > Change name

Plant Engineering > Pipeline Tools > Change > Divide

 

The message window appears when choosing the following functions:

Plant Engineering > Part Tools > Exchange

Plant Engineering > Pipeline Tools > Change

Plant Engineering > Part Tools > Copy > Rotate

Plant Engineering > Part Tools > Exchange > Individual

Plant Engineering > Part Tools > Delete

Plant Engineering > Pipeline Tools > Change > In only one pipeline

 

The function Plant Engineering > Pipeline Tools > Change > In all pipelines handles locks by applying the desired change to all non-locked pipelines. The locked, i.e. not modified, pipelines are named in a message:
