Step Action
1 Select Properties.
2 Select the I/O Drawing tab.
3 Enter, or select by clicking Browse, the directory path to store the Symbol,
Master, Intermediate, and Final I/O drawings in. The I/O drawings created
reside in the selected path in a subdirectory which has the same name as the
project the drawings are created from.
4 Select Overwrite Existing Drawings to discard the existing drawings and save
the new ones in their place.
5 Select Ignore, Break, or Warn from the Missing Master Drawings options. This
property sets how ProWORX 32 reacts when a master drawing is missing while
the I/O drawings are being created.
Step Action
1 I/O drawings are generated in a two-step process:
Intermediate: These drawings are used as a "working" step. Generating a
series of Intermediate drawings as you go can save time when it comes to
generating the Final drawings.
Final: These drawings are generated based on the corresponding
Intermediate drawings.
2 To generate an intermediate drawing, select I/O Drawing → Intermediate
Drawings from the Traffic Cop right-click menu.
3 To generate a final drawing, select I/O Drawing → Final Drawings from the
Traffic Cop right-click menu.
4 To generate both an intermediate and final drawing, select I/O Drawing → Both
Drawings from the Traffic Cop right-click menu.
