Guidelines for multi-user drawings
You may find the following guidelines useful when you edit or check drawings:
Action |
Recommendation |
---|---|
Saving drawings |
Periodically save your working model to the master model (every 5–10 drawings). |
Editing drawings |
|
Checking drawings |
Only check locked drawings. |
Printing drawings |
Make sure that no-one else is working with the same drawing. If you print a drawing while someone else is editing it and then save the model, the other user’s changes will be lost, even though you have not opened, modified, or saved the drawing. You can disable the print date by using the advanced option XS_DISABLE_DRAWING_PLOT_DATE. |
Creating general arrangement drawings |
Create a set of empty general arrangement drawings in the beginning of the project, and assign a a certain range of these ready-created empty drawings to each user (for example, GA1 to GA10 to User A, GA11-GA20 to User B and so on). This prevents overlapping general arrangement drawing numbers in the project. |
