Saving PlantDrafter Drawings

The nature of a PlantDrafter drawing is that only the components generated by PlantDrafter are actually saved as part of CAD’s auto-save functionality. Components from the model act as a reference file that will not be part of the v drawing when opened outside of PlantWise.

To save the full drawing properly:

  1. Click the Save As button from the Drawing Actions command section before closing the drawing.

    It opens the Save As (Drawing File) dialog.

  2. Once the drawing is saved, you are prompted with the message shown below. At that point, it is safe to close the drawing.
