Drawing windows

Drawing windows is the area where you make your measurements. They are located at the right side of the application window and each one corresponds to a measurement sheet of the drawings tree view. A new drawing window opens when you:

·      Add a new drawing to the drawings tree view in which case its first measurement sheet is also created automatically (See Drawings/Add drawing(-s) XE "Adding: Drawing"  ).

Create a new measurement sheet of an existing drawing (See Drawings/

·      New measurement sheet

).

·      Open the current measurement sheet by using the open_document_24_h button, by double clicking on it or on one of its measurements (See Drawings/Open measurement sheet  XE "Opening:measurement sheet " open_document_24_h)

You can open as many drawing windows as you wish. Each one has a tab with the title of the corresponding measurement sheet and the x mark which is used to close it.

At any time, one of the open drawing windows is current, which means that appears in front of all others. The corresponding measurement sheet of the current drawing window, along with its measurements, are marked with gray color on the tree views of both ‘Drawings’ and ‘WBS’ tabs.

comment_16 At the top of the drawing window there are buttons for managing drawings and measurement sheets and buttons to be used as tools for the measurements. The following chapters contain detailed description of the measurement procedures in case of image files (See Measuring in image files) and of vector files (See Measuring in vector files (CAD)) as well as description of many auxiliary functions and tools (See Auxiliary measuring tools).
