Displays the Check Out dialog box, enabling you to check drawings out from the Plant and into your current project.
You can check out drawings that you have already fetched to your project, too. The Check Out command is available only inside a project of the Plant; that is, you cannot check a drawing out from a project and into the Plant. After a drawing is checked out to a project, the drawing icon changes to reflect the new status.
-
You do not have to check out a drawing in order to claim items on that drawing.
-
This command checks user permissions, assigned in Smart Engineering Manager, before it allows you to check out a drawing.
If you are connected to SmartPlant Foundation and you have already fetched the drawing
with read/write permissions, when you check the drawing out, the fetched version remains
intact and only its status changes to checked-out. That is, you cannot replace the
fetched version with the version in the Plant.
