When i have a pipe with the same number on 2 drawings, i can only edit the properties in the datamanager in the Master drawing. (drawing the pipenumber was created in at first).
So when i am in drawing 2 i need to open drawing 1 to change isolationthickness for example.
Is there an option to make the other drawing master for that linenumber, so i do not need to open several drawings to edit properties of my pipes?
hi @Anonymous
in the Datamanager in the left bottom corner is a sort dropdown. Choose there "sort by Area"
Choose your DWG or Project in the top left corner Drop down menü.
Now go to - Area(unknown) and choose piping. If you change now the insulationthickness for one line, it will be done for each in all drawings.

That is exactly what i try to do. @Ruffy85
The problem is when de pipe exists in 2 drawings, for example drawing A and Drawing B
I can see the pipe data in both drawings in datamanager, but can only edit the properties in one of them.
So when the pipe originates in drawing A and i am working in drawing B (where also this number is used), when i klik on a property from that pipe in the datamanager, it automatically opens drawing A, i can not edit the data of the pipe in drawing B.
It gets more dificult, when i have 2 drawings with total of 10 pipes and 5 pipes originate from drawing A and 5 pipes originate from drawing B, I have to switch between drawings all the time to edit data for all pipes.
Also when i make excel export of the "area unknown \ piping", and i edit data for all pipes, i can import and it shows yellow for all changes, when i accept datachange from drawing B it opens drawing B and gives me error message. so also i cannot edit data in excel.
summory:
When i change pipe data in drawing A it also changes data for the whole pipe, so also the piece in drawing B
When i try to change pipe data in drawing B it does not work, and opens drawing A.
