You can define and modify the drawing settings related to the current project management job in the Drawing Setup dialog box.

1. Open the Project Management module.

   You are either creating a new job or modifying an existing job in the Project dialog box.

2. Click Drawing Setups.

   The Drawing Setup dialog box opens.

   

3. On the Drawing Settings tab, define any of the following settings:

   Option	Description
   Drawing Number Input Type	Allows you to select the input format for drawing numbers.
   Drawing File Prefix/Drawing File Suffix	By default, Tekla PowerFab expects that the names of drawing files match the drawing numbers. Drawing File Prefix/Suffix allows you to determine the prefix/suffix that appears in the names of all drawing files that are imported. Determining a Drawing File Prefix/Suffix is optional. However, it can help you to ensure that the correct files are imported from the selected folder. Prefix example: Drawing files may consist of the job number followed by a dash and the drawing number. In this case, drawing 100 could be named C12345-100.pdf. In consequence, the drawing file prefix would be C12345-. Suffix example: Drawing files may include a revision number after the drawing number. In this case, the file name of the first revision of drawing 100 could be C12345-100-r1.pdf. In consequence, the suffix would be -r1. Note that the file name extension is not included in the drawing file suffix. If the drawing file prefix/suffix varies, you can use an asterisk (*) as a wildcard. Prefix example: If the prefix of some drawing files that you want to import was not C12345, you could set the drawing file prefix to *-. Suffix example: If some drawing files had different revision numbers, you could set the drawing file suffix to -r*.
   Update Production Control Approval Status	When selected, the approval statuses of shop drawings that are used in Production Control are automatically updated.
