Drawings

Drawings are essentially library records where the library type has the “Show as Drawings” flag selected.

IC-Inspection uses the same drawing functionality as NEXUS IC (see Drawings), except the following:

• In IC-Inspection, you can only view drawings and its layers, you cannot edit them.

• If you left-click on a drawing layer, you can create events by completing the tasks associated with the relevant asset (see Create Event from Task).

• The additional Workpack Tasks menu option is available from under the Layer Colour toolbar button. It displays distinct colours for layers based on the completion status of tasks assigned to the corresponding assets. This is dependent on the workpack selected on the Active Inspection pane (see Active Inspection).
