Off Page Connector Update

Hi!

 

I've got a huge project I'm working on and I've been tasked with making sure all the piping has the correct to/from in P&ID database. Most of them are correct, but many of them that go to OPCs either say what sheet they go to or are blank (instead of saying what pipe segment they go to on said drawing). They way I have to fix this is by clicking on the OPC > View Drawing (this means I have the drawings on both sides of the OPC open), once its opened I have to go back and go to the OPC > View Connected. Then I have to disconnect it and reconnect it to update it. If I do this without both drawing files open (both files the OPC references) it won't work. I have to do this to hundreds of OPCs and it's taking forever. I was wondering if there was a way to force them to update in someway, to delete and recreate them with AutoLISP, or some other way I don't know.

 

I'm pretty new to AutoCAD so my bad if anything doesn't make sense.

Thanks to anyone who takes a look!

Seems, useful. I will give it a look.

 

Thank!

Turns out it doesn't work. The OPC manager doesn't recognize the TO/FROM as an issue and the update all TO/FROM doesn't fix anything either.
