Updating space numbers via CAD Import
When changing space numbers using a new naming convention in an AutoCAD file, and uploading a version that did not originate from the CAD Inbox or Outbox, the system interprets the space as new and assigns a different system code.
As a result, any existing links to related data may be lost. To prevent this and ensure that the system code remains unchanged, follow this best practice:
Procedure
1. Download the DWG file from the Planon application (from the CAD Inbox or CAD Outbox) that already contains the recognized system codes.
2. Modify the space numbers in that downloaded version.
3. Upload the updated drawing to the CAD Inbox.
The Planon application will then correctly recognize the existing spaces and update the space numbers without altering the system codes.
