Case#1- Drawing Name with No Special Character

Overview

The AutoPLANT error "The current Drawing XXXXXX is already registered in the document registry with document ID XXXXX" (seen Below) occurs when the drawing's name and Doc ID differ from drawing name and Doc ID in the database. The error can be easily corrected.

Once open, save the drawing then close.
Open RelationShip Manager
Delete instances of the drawing out of the project to remove drawing data from the project database

If Registry is clean then simple delete this document
