Drawing Issues

To issue a drawing or drawings:

1. Select them in the Drawings List grid and click Issue on the List Tools - Drawings tab.

2. If there are reasons why selected drawings cannot be issued, they are listed in the Error Summary window.

   

3. Click Cancel to stop the procedure. Click Continue to continue with the issue of any other selected drawings. The first of the selected drawings for which errors were not detected is then issued as described next.

4. A Progress window for the issue is displayed:

   

5. If the drawing has already been issued at the current revision, or has had no revisions created for it, a message window is displayed to inform that the user that a new revision must be created before issuing.

   

   

6. Click Cancel to cancel the issue or OK to create a new revision. Refer to Drawing Revisions for further information on creating a new revision. Once the revision has been created, the issue procedure automatically resumes.

7. The issued drawing is then opened in AutoCAD (refer to Issues when Opening AutoCAD Drawings), and the Update Options window is displayed. Refer to Create or Update AutoCAD Drawings for details. Once the update is completed, the drawing is automatically closed.

   If multiple drawings have been selected for issue, each is issued one at a time, as described above.
