This chapter describes how can you use the mapping grid in OPC Manager to edit property values.

With this feature you can edit the properties of Line Groups, Line Segment, and OPCs without the need of opening the drawings.

Let's use the following settings. For ConnectorNumber we set the mapping direction to 'None'.

PET OPCM Use Cases 092

Now we edit the size of one size of a pair of connected OPCs.

PET OPCM Use Cases 093

After we leave the cell, we created an inconsistency.

PET OPCM Use Cases 094

We solve the inconsistency by copying the value to the other side.

PET OPCM Use Cases 095

Now the value is also on the other side.

PET OPCM Use Cases 096

Now we edit the Connector Number.

PET OPCM Use Cases 097

This time it doesn't create an inconsistency, because the mapping direction is set to 'None'.

PET OPCM Use Cases 098

These two examples illustrate how conveniently you can edit for example the OPC properties with all its descriptive texts through OPC Manager.
