Change drawing file status (in building structure)
With the drawing file status, you define the drawing file on which you draw and which drawing files are visible and/or can be modified. The drawing file status can be set in the Building structure tab and in the Fileset structure tab; these two settings are independent of each other.
To change the drawing file status in the building structure
- Click Open on a project-specific basis (How).
Tip: You can also double-click with the left mouse button in the workspace.
- Select the Building structure tab.
- the drawing files (in tree view) whose status you want to change.
- Define the drawing file status in one of the following ways:
- Click the selection with the right mouse button and select the drawing file status on the shortcut menu.
- Click one of the three columns.
- Make use of the space bar. Every time you press the space bar down, the selected drawing files are given a selection status:
Off – open in reference mode – open in edit mode – active (the drawing file you select last becomes active, the other ones are opened in edit mode). If a drawing file cannot be open in reference mode (if the drawing file in question is empty and does not have a name), this status is skipped.
- Click Close.
The drawing files are displayed in accordance with the status set. Only drawing files whose structural level is in the building structure are taken into account.
