Project Items List ( Drawing Editor )

  • You can access this utility at Home , in Modeling , and in the Drawing Editor
  • Project Items List can be used to generate a report listing of all items (of a category you select) that exist in your current Job .
  • An exception is global standards. The Project Items List includes all global standard details maintained in the data directory for the current version of the SDS2 program you are running.
  • A list of all items in selected categories can be very useful for project management purposes. You might use such lists, for instance, to determine what items you want to delete, or whether it is necessary to copy other items into the current Job, to determine what items you need to create or copy from other Jobs, or to serve as check lists.
  • See the step-by-step instructions .
