Drawing Resources
Drawing resources are used to record drawings that can be referenced on BOMs and Works Orders, and used when manufacturing an item. The Drawing resources list contains all currently configured drawing resources setup in the system.
Beneath the drawings grid there are 4 buttons:
Add: Add a new drawing resource.
Edit: Edit the selected drawing resource.
Copy: Copy the selected drawing resource.
Remove: Remove the selected drawing resource.
Note: The Remove button is disabled if the drawing resource is in use anywhere in the system.
