Open an Archive Drawing

When opening a drawing, notice the followings:

  • If the project is non-active, or the project uses general drawing archive, the drawing number is selected from general drawing archive and the drawing sheet from general sheet archive.
  • If the active project uses project-specific drawing and sheet archive, the drawing number and the sheet will be selected from the archives.

    As a default, active projects drawings are selected from a list, if there are less than 40 drawings in search matches.

  1. If necessary, open the project before opening the drawing. Open a Project
  2. Open from archives.

    • Press the Ctrl+O keys.
  3. Select the drawing from the list and click OK.

Note
