You can create a baseline for an existing structure from X-CAD Design Management.

Before you begin:

Search for the object you want to baseline and open the Navigate page of the revision object for the design (see Editing Object Relationships).

    A baseline is created for the structure. The icon under the Alerts column in the Navigate page indicates that the design is part of a baseline.

    Note: Note the following:
    • The baseline is created for the root object and is expanded to all levels of the object as per the selected view.
    • You cannot create a baseline if any objects in the structure contains a renamed object, cloned object, a revision of a cloned object, pending structure change in the object, or an object created from a template.

      You must open and save the objects to create a baseline.

    • The baseline is created for the structure of an active instance of an object.
