The Configuration Manager can help you:
-
Remove unused configurations from the drawing.
-
Reset properties for frames and tiles.
-
rebuild configurations that exist in a drawing when the Custom Catalog for those configurations is not available. This would be required in these situations:
File sharing: You need to open a drawing containing the panel configurations on a computer other than the one on which you originally created the drawing, and you want access to those configurations in a Custom Catalog.
Data Recovery: A Custom Catalog containing the configurations has been inadvertently deleted.
-
From the Cap menu select Panel Builder, Configuration Manager.
The Configuration Manager dialog box opens. All configurations that exist in the current drawing are listed, as well as the location of the Custom Catalog in which they are stored. For any configurations for which the Custom Catalog is not available the location indicates <Not Found>. -
Click Purge Unused Configurations or Clear Default Properties.
-
To rebuild a custom catalog, select all configurations listed as <Not Found> and click the Rebuild Custom Catalog button.
-
In the Rebuild Custom Catalog dialog box, select an existing Custom Catalog in which to store the rebuilt configurations, or click the New button to create a new Custom Catalog.
- Rebuilding to a new custom catalog rebuilds all valid configurations into the new catalog.
- Rebuilding into an existing custom catalog redefines existing configurations in the catalog, defines any configurations in the drawing NOT in that custom catalog, and updates the links in the drawing to point to the rebuild custom catalog.
You will receive a warning informing you that rebuilding configurations to the existing custom catalog will corrupt those configurations in OTHER drawings which use the same existing custom catalog. If you do not want this to happen, click No and rebuild to a new custom catalog instead. Note that if you had a single custom catalog per drawing, this corruption will not be an issue. However, if other drawings use this configuration, you will have to rebuild the configuration in each of those drawings. Click Yes if you want to continue. -
Click OK in the Rebuild Custom Catalog dialog.
A Configuration Rebuild Progress dialog opens and displays the progress of configurations being rebuilt.
When the process is complete, the Configuration Manager dialog returns. -
Click OK to close the Panel & Power Configuration Manager.
Note: If you want to copy this drawing back to its original location, its configurations will be linked to the new custom catalog and not the original one. You must use the Configuration Manager again to rebuild the configurations in the original location.
