Use of Variants

The Modify Variant button option on the Process Drawing Control form allows you to use a variant of the master template.

To use a template variant

1. Select the drawings to alter and click on the Modify Variant button. The Modify Sheet Variant form is displayed.

   

   If multiple drawings have been selected, switch between them by using the pull-down menu. Any variants associated with the drawing are shown in the Template Variants field.

2. Click on the required template.

   Note:
   If a variant template variant is selected that is already in use the following error will be displayed.

   

3. Click on the Apply button once all modifications have been made.

   Note:
   The entry in the Existing Drawings List now reflects the choice of variant sheet.

Once the drawing selection process has been carried out the Process Drawing Control form should look something like the one shown in.

Having made the required selections, the next stage of the ABA process involves:

• Defining the storage area for the drawings.

• Choosing the process tasks and process type to be performed on the drawings.

• Choose the method used to process the drawings.
