Synchronizing project properties

If you use Project Manager to manage the properties of projects (including title blocks) and some of those properties are also linked to Meridian properties, the AutoCAD P&ID link includes additional AutoCAD commands in the Project group of the BlueCielo ribbon in AutoCAD that you can use to synchronize Meridian with the current project properties and references. In this case, use the synchronization commands in the Project group of the BlueCielo ribbon in AutoCAD instead of the commands in the Document group of the BlueCielo ribbon in AutoCAD.

The following table lists the AutoCAD link commands for synchronizing project properties and part references with Meridian properties and references.
