Project Settings

Project Descriptions Tab

The Project Settings mode enables you to specify project descriptions and address files that appear in title blocks and reports.

The Project Descriptions are displayed in a grid format as shown below with the description name in the left column with the description value in the right. Descriptions can be Added, Renamed and Removed using the toolbar icons.

Values for the descriptions are entered directly into the adjacent field. The values entered will be used as the defaults for the project.

SettingDescription
Add Description Click this icon to add an additional description field to the grid. The Add Description dialog displays letting you define a name for the description:

Enter a description into the field and click OK to add it.

Rename Description Click on a description name and select this option to display the Rename Description dialog:

Enter a new name for the description into the field and click OK to change it.

Remove Description Select a description from the grid and click the icon to remove it from the list.
Reset Resets the description values to their original setting.
Default Value When a project is created, the default project value will be pulled from these default values.

Drawing Set/Installation/Location Descriptions

Lets the user add or rename Drawing Set, Installation and Location descriptions. The default value specified here will only be applied when the user creates a new instance of either of these. An example would be creating a new page that specifies a drawing set that was not previously used in the project. Existing description values are not overwritten when creating a new page that specifies an existing Drawing Set.

Note: The commands for these tabs are the same as the Project Descriptions described above.

The changes made in the Drawing Set, Installation or Location Descriptions tabs above would appear in the Project Manager > Drawing Set/Installation/Location tabs shown below:
