respective fields among the selected Scenarios, will have a different color. The colors can

Additional Tips
• Deleting a Scenario does NOT touch the Base Project¾¾¾¾If you find that a
particular scenario is of no use anymore, you can delete it in the Scenario Manager
by selecting it and clicking the Delete button. This will not affect your Base
Project or any of your other scenarios; it only deletes the selected scenario.
• Components added in a scenario are indicated using the same “Diff” color
Just as you can change component data in a scenario and those changes won’t
affect the Base Project, you can also add and delete components in a scenario and
those added or deleted components also will not affect your base project. You can
tell if a component has been added in a scenario because its symbol in the
Component Editor will display a box around its symbol, using the “Diffs” color
(peach by default) that’s set in the Project>Options>Application>Diffs option:
The “Promote to Base” button in the Scenario Manager will replace the Base
Project with a Scenario¾¾¾¾When you click this button, it gives you the option of
making a backup copy of your Base Project. This is because this option will
actually replace your Base Project with the selected scenario. Proceed with caution
when using this option! It’s useful in those cases where you’re absolutely certain
that a Scenario fits your needs best, or the existing Base Project is irrelevant or
out-of-date, and you want to promote a Scenario to be your new Base Project.
In the Data
Visualizer, a
component that
only exists in
some Scenarios
will appear as a
blank column in
the others. In this
example, cable
“CBL-0026”
exists in
Scenario1 and
Scenario3, but not
in Scenario2 or
the Base Project.
