Rulesets & Rules

Rules tell Replicator how to match markups on an old revision and re-apply them to a new one. Rulesets group rules so they can be applied together.

What you can do

  • Add rulesets and rules that govern how markups are replicated.
  • Apply multiple rules/rulesets to a drawing or document.
  • Tune rules to handle revision changes (moved, added, or removed content).

Regular expressions

Replicator fully supports regular expressions in its rules — for example to match or transform revision text (Rev 01ARev 0A1). See the Regular Expressions reference in X4D Data Import for syntax (X4D uses the .NET/C# flavor).

Revision handling

When the output drawing already exists, X4D overwrites the file rather than creating a new auto-incremented revision, so the replicated output stays as the current revision.
