View a drawing in the PDF viewer

The PDF viewer enables you to view drawings and many other file formats directly in Upchain.

  1. In the BOM table (bm-upchain-web-mceclip0-02.png), locate the item whose drawing you want to view.
  2. Select more actions action_menu.png > View > Drawing, or double-click the Item has drawing attached icon drawing_attached.png located in the Files column.
  3. If the item has multiple drawings, a pop-up window enables you to select one from the list of drawings.
Note: The default behavior is to open the PDF translation of the drawing. When choosing a drawing to open, Upchain looks for the PDF translation of the drawing to open first. If it cannot find a PDF translation, then it looks for another translation that is a type supported by the PDF viewer. If it cannot find a suitable file to view, Upchain shows an error indicating there are no viewable files.
