Selecting Panel Drawing Editing Mode

When you open a panel drawing, it is opened by default in a so called editing mode, which means that you can make any changes to the panel drawing, for example remove or add pieces, but the next time you regenerate the panel the changes will disappear. You can switch the editing mode to a drafting mode. In the drafting mode, you cannot edit the panel itself, but you can add dimensions and lines to the drawing, for example. You can regenerate the panel saving the added basic geometry elements at the same time.

  1. Open the panel drawing.
  2. Select Classic Wall Framing | Panel | Editing Mode.
  3. Select the editing mode.
Inserting only
A drafting mode, where you cannot edit the wall panel itself but, for example, you can add dimensions and lines to the drawing. You can regenerate the panel saving the added basic geometry elements at the same time.
Editing
You can make any changes in the drawing, for example remove lines or add pieces, but these changes disappear next time you regenerate the panel. In the editing mode, you cannot edit the basic geometry elements added in the drafting mode.

Note

  • If the panel drawing is in the drafting mode (Inserting only), and you select a function to edit the panel, for example Adding a Piece to the Panel Elevation, the program automatically switches the Editing mode on. The program prompts you that the editing mode is switched.
