FAQ: What happens when I make changes to drawings with off-page connectors (OPCs)?

What happens when I delete a drawing that has connections to other drawings?

What happens, for example, if I delete drawing two in this scenario:
Here is the result:

What happens when I delete a line segment that has an off-page connector to another drawing?

What happens, for example, if I delete line segment 15 in drawing two in this scenario:
Here is the result:

What happens when I delete a reducer on a line segment that has an off-page connector to another drawing?

What happens, for example, if I delete the reducer between line segments 10 and 11 in drawing one in this scenario:

Here is the result:

Note: If you add instead of delete a reducer in this type of scenario, the results are similar. The mismatch between connected drawings is identified so that you can make the correction.

What happens when I disconnect an off-page connector in one drawing of a series of connected drawings?

What happens, for example, if I delete the off-page connector in drawing 100-2 in this scenario.

Here is the result:
Note: When you run the Drawing Checker, you will see a review cloud around the off-page connector in the third drawing, and the status icon reverts to disconnected.

What happens when I connect an unassigned line OPC to an assigned line OPC?

What happens, for example, if I select the OPC to the right on this line and connect it to an OPC in a drawing that has an assigned line group, in this case PW1200-3-CS300. Here is the unassigned line:

And here is the result of connecting it to the assigned line:

Note: You cannot do the reverse, connect an assigned line to an unassigned line.
