Manage drawing logs for a job

Drawing logs help to manage and control the drawings in the project. You can create and manage job-specific logs.

For information on managing default drawing logs applied to all jobs, see Manage default drawing logs.

Open the Project Management module.
You are either creating a new job or modifying an existing job in the Project dialog box.
Click Drawing Setups.
The Drawing Setup dialog box opens.

Add a drawing log

On the Drawing Logs tab, click New.

Define the following settings:


Option	Description
Drawing Type	Type the drawing type.
Drawing Log Name	Type a name for the drawing log.
PDC Link	Select the field in Production Control to which the drawings are connected. Note that the PDC Link setting only applies to drawing log types with assemblies or materials that have counterparts in Production Control.
Subdirectory Path	Type the path to the subfolder under the drawing default folder where the drawings in that drawing log are stored. For example, type `Detail\Erection` drawings. The default folder for storing drawings is set in File > Default Directories.
Drawing Log Mapping (one per line)	Type which drawing types to direct to the selected drawing log. Tekla PowerFab determines the drawing log where imported drawings are stored based on the drawing types assigned to the drawings in the XML file created with Tekla PowerFab Plugin for Tekla Structures, or with the Data Transfer tool in SDS/2. By default, the drawing types in Tekla PowerFab match the drawing types in Tekla Structures. Note that you need to type each drawing type on a separate line.

The changes are saved to the current project management job.

On the Drawing Logs tab, select the drawing log that you want to delete.
Click Delete.
To permanently delete the drawing log from the current project management job, click Yes.
