Add a New Drawing

Use this functionality to manually add drawings to the Instrument Designer's Drawings List.

Important: Drawings can also be added to the drawing list by checking Engineer and Wiring Manager for any new diagrams that may be required. Refer to Import Drawings into the Drawings List.

These methods are the preferred way to populate the Drawing List as they automatically create the new Drawing List entry, assign the Drawing Type and populate the drawing titles based on the engineering data. The drawing title formats used can be user-defined in the drawing title setup preferences windows (refer to Drawing Title Setup Preferences).

Notes: Loop diagrams can also be added to the drawing list using facilities available from the Loop Check Report feature in Engineer.
Termination diagrams can also be added to the drawing list using facilities available from the Enhanced Termination Report feature in Wiring Manager.

1. With the Drawing List open, click New on the Home tab.

2. The Drawing Information window displays.

   

   Notes: Existing drawing entries can be copied to create a new drawing record in the Drawing List by selecting an existing record, then using the Copy Selected command in the drop-down menu next to New on the Home tab.

   All of the data entry fields in this Drawing Information window can automatically update each drawing by using DataLinks to link the database data to drawing attributes.
