Add Drawings

You can add a new drawing to an asset in one of the following ways:

  • You can drag image files from your file explorer onto the Drawings tab of the ASSETS screen. If you drag and drop a single file, the Add Library dialog appears, where you can enter data as required. If you drag and drop multiple files, they will simply be added.

  • You can add drawings from the Drawings tab of the ASSETS screen as follows:

    1. Choose Add from the toolbar.

      Since drawings are essentially Library records in NEXUS, the Add Library dialog appears.

    2. In the Add Library dialog, select the library type and enter the name of the drawing.

      Note

      To ensure that the drawing (library item) appears on the Drawings tab, you must select a library type for which you have selected the Show as Drawings checkbox when you have set up the library type (see Add Library Types).

    3. Enter other parameters as required (see Add/Edit Library Dialog for more information), and click the Attachment button to select the image file that you want to upload.

      In most cases, you use the Import option for adding the attachments. The Link option works only in on-premise environment and only items on network drives can be linked.

    4. Click OK.
