So let's just watch that work through. It does take a little while. Now I've only got a basic drawing here, a really basic drawing of a really basic circuit. You can obviously imagine the time here that it would take to do a large number of drawings with complicated circuitry, so it's possibly an ideal opportunity when you do hit that OK button to perhaps go and get a cup of coffee, cup of tea and then come back to it. Now, let's have a look at what's been changed. Let's zoom in. As you can see, can you see there? We've got K006, K007 - it's all been numbered, can you see that? Everything has been numbered for us, so we've got 06, 07 - can you see all those? Those weren't actually in there before. I only had circuit, but it's all been updated to fit and to suit our actual drawings here. That's where this 007's come from, can you see, look? We've got an 006, an 007. If I scroll up, 006, 007, scroll up again, 006, 007. So you can see there how these have worked. Let's have a look at our Terminals here. They've stayed the same. Let's have a look now at our Relays here. Can you see, they've stayed the same also, because they're not linking to anything, but obviously these ones here, the Motors and so on, have all changed and updated and retagged. Let's have a look at the Previous Drawing now. Let's go back to ELECTRICAL AND DRAWING AUDIT, has that updated? Yes, it has. Look, 4, 5, 4, 5. You'll also notice, look, can you see the wiring numbering's changed as well? That's what happens when you do an Update and a Retag, so be aware of that, that it updates every drawing in your Project and you need to be aware of that because, obviously, other people might be using those drawings, so make sure you're aware of what changes you're making when you perform an Electrical and a Drawing Audit but, more importantly, when you do that Update and Retag afterwards. So let's go back to that drawing there and we're back in UPDATE AND RETAG. So you can see there, all the drawings have updated sequentially throughout the Project by doing an Update and a Retag and then obviously you might want to perform another Electrical and Drawing Audit just to check everything is working.
