Live Link
Use Live Link for iterative checks
Send the current scene to the connected host while you inspect geometry. Use native component export separately when publishing catalogue/spec content.

Step by step
- Install the matching bridge and open the intended drawing.
- Open Live and confirm connection status.
- Choose Send now for a deliberate update, or enable Automatic live sync for iteration.
- Compare shape, placement and supported appearance.
- Use the debug view or feedback information if the host scene differs from Designer.
Separate from publishing
Live scene synchronisation is not catalogue/spec publication and does not prove a component family is ready to place from the spec.
Geometry modes
Geometry modes and display fallbacks depend on your release. Unsupported geometry may appear as a display fallback; inspect the result in Plant before relying on it.
Performance
For expensive scenes, use deliberate Send now updates while diagnosing changes. Judge the actual scene response rather than assuming all host-native operations have the same cost as Designer.
Keep in mind
- Avoid adding manual offsets to hide a conversion mismatch; capture the model and diagnostic evidence first.
