Synchronize inventory information with ProNest

Use the Sync with ProNest command to synchronize Tekla PowerFab inventory information with ProNest and update the cut lists in ProNest. We recommend that you synchronize the two software regularly.

Before you begin, ensure that:

DataSyncCmd.exe is running
Tekla PowerFab can access the ProNest database

In the Inventory dialog, click the Inventory ribbon tab.
On the menu, select Export > Sync with ProNest.

The inventory information in Tekla PowerFab is exported to ProNest to synchronize the two software. You can view the process in the Status dialog box.
When the synchronization process is completed, click OK to close the Status dialog box.

You can now view the inventory information exported from Tekla PowerFab in ProNest.

In the synchronization process, Tekla PowerFab checks the ProNest database for new items and links each new item in the ProNest inventory to the appropriate piece in the Tekla PowerFab inventory. When synchronization is complete, ProNest has all the inventory items that Tekla PowerFab has.

Note that inventory items that have previously been in ProNest but have not been linked to ProNest are not affected by the synchronization.
