Opening a Project Drawing

Product Documentation
Intermediate

After a drawing has been added to a project, open it from the Projects collection in the Prospector tree.

If you want to open a project drawing and edit it, you must first check it out. If you do not have the project drawing checked out, you can only open it in read-only mode.

You can tell whether the drawing is checked out to you by the icon displayed next to the drawing name in the Prospector tree. For more information, see Project Item State Icons.

If the drawing you want to check out is a source drawing for a project object, you can open it from the project object collection. For more information, see Opening Source Drawings for Project Objects.

To open a project drawing

  1. In Toolspace, on the Prospector tab, under the Projects collection, navigate to the folder that contains the drawing you want to open.
  2. Right-click the drawing.
  3. Click Check Out or Open (read-only).

    The command that is listed on the menu depends on whether or not you have the drawing checked out.
