Define Disciplines for Drawings

Contents

Standard drawing disciplines come with Contract Management (for example: Electrical, Mechanical, Architecture, or Civil). You can define disciplines for drawings to categorize your drawings depending on how your company tracks the review and distribution of drawings. Once you define drawing disciplines, you can use them in any project in the project group. Discipline categories can be used to sort, filter, and report drawing information.

To create a discipline:

1. Right-click on the top-level (All Projects) folder and choose Dictionaries, Drawings, Disciplines. This opens the Disciplines Dialog Box.
2. Click Add to open the Disciplines Detail Dialog Box.
3. In the Discipline field, enter a discipline up to 12 characters in length.
4. In the Title field, enter a title up to 23 characters in length.
5. From the Type Name drop-down list, select the location below which you want to insert the definition.
6. Click Save and Close to create the new discipline code.

   Note: Disciplines defined here appear in all projects in the project database.
