Propagating Data to Connected Objects

You can propagate data through connected objects, for example, if you want to assign a channel address of a PLC to the number of the wire connected to this channel.

1. Click Process > Propagate data to connected objects .
2. Select the command scope.

   Option	Description
   Whole Project	Propagates the data on all the objects of the electrical project.
   Current Book	Propagates the data only on the objects of the current book (the book associated with the current scheme).
   Current Folder	Propagates the data only on the objects of the current folder (the folder associated with the current scheme).
   Current Scheme	Propagates the data only on the objects of the current scheme.
   Objects selected in the scheme	Propagates the data only on the objects selected in the current scheme.
   Choose schemes.	Opens the scheme selector to select schemes to process. Only objects within these schemes are processed.

3. Click Add Propagation .
   This creates a new propagation rule and a new line is added to the table.

   Delete , deletes the selected propagation rule.
4. Select the values in the following columns to create the rule.

   Option	Description
   Copy from object	Select the object that you want to use to propagate the data.
   Data to propagate	Select the data type you want to propagate. This data is specific to the selected object.
   Destination object	Select the object in which you want to propagate the previously selected data.
   Destination data	Select the data type in which the propagated data are copied.

5. Check the box to activate the propagation rule.
6. To organize the rule chronology, use the Up and Down icons.
7. Update the object properties.
   Even if the objects are automatically updated with the propagated data, it is important to activate the update check boxes to propagate the data using formula.
