Drawings

In each project, you can add as many drawings as you wish of various file types. Both vector files and scanned (image) files are supported. Vector drawings are stored either into the project database or separately as external references, but image files can only be stored into the project.

For every drawing that you add to a project, you can create one or more measurement sheets. On each measurement sheet you can make as many measurements as you wish.

This way, a tree view is created, in each project, which consists of any number of drawings, measurement sheets and measurements. The tree view provides a clear and concise way of organizing your work and furthermore, since measurements are carried out on the measurement sheets, the original drawings are not affected.

For each measurement, the tree view of the ‘Drawings’ tab contains columns for the description, the color, the result (including the unit of measurement) and whether it is visible or not. You can sort the tree view list by any of these columns by clicking on its header. (see Appendix/Filters/Sorting/Data Sorting)

comment_16 Sorting by the ‘Description’ field is applied first on the drawings, then on the measurement sheets and finally on the measurements themselves. Every drawing, measurement sheet or measurement that is added, or has its name changed afterwards, follows this setting and its position into the tree view list is set automatically.
