  2. The dialogue window for project data input will be displayed:

Enter the project name first, and then enter the desired project data.

Create Drawing File

  1. Select New drawing with DB, with new article master.
  2. The dialogue window for article data input will be displayed. The article number will be suggested automatically:

Enter the required article attributes and confirm with OK.
