3.10 Creating and viewing drawing snapshots
With snapshots you can take a quick look at any drawings without opening the drawing. Use
this tool when you just want to check but not edit a drawing, or take a look at several
drawings while trying to find the one you are looking for, for example, a certain drawing
revision. You can take snapshots of all types of drawings.
A snapshot is automatically taken when you open and save a drawing. The snapshot
represents the situation when the drawing was last saved, so any newer changes to the
model are not reflected in the snapshot.
If you have made changes in the drawing and close it by selecting the Close button in the
upper-right corner, a message box is displayed where you can select if you want to save the
drawing and also if you want to create a snapshot of the drawing when the drawing is saved.
To create and view snapshots:
1. Select a drawing and open it from the Drawing List.
2. Save the drawing by selecting Drawing File --> Save .
3. Select the drawing from the Drawing List.
4. Click the Snapshot at the bottom of the Drawing List to display the snapshot.
