Generate GUIDs for objects that are missing GUIDs, or to create new GUIDs for specific objects.

  1. Open Rules for the project or for a specific folder by clicking "View or edit rulesets"

  2. Create a new rule

  3. Add a filter in "object filter" if you want to reduce the number of objects that are affected by the rule

  4. Add which objects that should get new GUIDs in the "Rules" section

    1. Property is the properties that should get new GUIDs

    2. Regex is the property values that will get new GUIds. A "." means all values are accepted

  5. Select "Generate GUID" in "Result" for "True"

Note: All objects that have the same value for the selected property in the "Rules" section will get the same GUID.

This feature can be used to create the same GUID for all parts of a manhole, so alle the objects in the manhole will be treated as one Form if using Forms. Make a search for manhole number to generate the unique GUID.
