Before You Can Create or View Issues in the Issue Pane

Issues are added from AutoCAD using the Issues pane.

In order to be able to open the Issues pane, the open AutoCAD document must reside in a work area that is associated with a ProjectWise project.

Creating an Issue

1. Open the AutoCAD document you want to create issues against.
2. Click the Issues button (ProjectWise tab > Issues panel).
   

   Below the open document, the Issues pane opens. This is where you create new issues, and can also see existing issues that have already been added to this ProjectWise project. Use the Category menu to select which category of issues you want to display in the list. You can further filter the list to show all issues in that category, all open issues in that category, all closed issues in that category, or all of your open issues in that category.

   
3. (Optional) Select an object in the document that you want to link to this issue.
4. Click the Create a new issue icon () in the upper right corner of the Issues pane.

   The Select a form definition to use dialog opens. The list of form definitions available in the dialog comes from the list of form definitions that are available in the ProjectWise project that is associated to the work area that this document belongs to.

5. Select a form definition in order to determine which category this issue will belong to and click OK.

   The Issue dialog opens.

      If you selected an object to link to this issue, the name of the object is automatically entered by default in the Subject field.

   2. Set a Due Date that the issue should be closed by.
   3. Set the Status of the issue.
   4. Select whom this issue should be Assigned To.

      You can assign the issue to anyone who is a member of the ProjectWise project that is associated to the work area that this document belongs to.

   5. Click Save.
7. On the Attachments tab, do the following:
   1. If you want to mark up the open document, click Capture the screen. A copy of the open document is saved as an image and opens in the Edit Markup dialog.
      

      or

      If you want to mark up some image you have already saved locally, click Attach image from file system (). The selected image opens in the Edit Markup dialog.

   2. In the Edit Markup dialog, mark up the image as needed with the tools provided and click Save Attachment when finished.

      Use the pencil icon to markup the image. Use the T icon to add text to the image. Click one of the colors on the color bar to set the color of the markup or text (clicking a different color does not change the color of markup or text already added).
