Save detail drawing

Detail drawings are automatically saved if, when creating the detail drawing, you have activated the Save detail drawing automatically checkbox in the Steel Engineering, Detail drawing dialogue window. The file name for the detail drawing is generated from the part name (E_part name). The drawing is stored in the same directory in which the drawing is also saved.

If you have not activated the Save detail drawing automatically checkbox, you can save the detail drawing subsequently. To do this, activate the Switch drawing tab in the ICN and click the window with the detail drawing to activate it. Then, choose the Save file function.

The prerequisite is for the drawing to have been saved locally.

Create and print detail drawing

Drawing > Itemisation/Detailing > DetDrw > Create + Print detail drawing

Open detail drawing

Drawing > Itemisation/Detailing > DetDrw > Open detail drawing
