Paste or type the drawing directory into the "Drawing path:" text box.

• Alternately you can click the … button to the right of the Drawing Path box and select the directory.

Add the template that describes how your PDF drawings are named.​

• Use literal characters like underscore _ and also special tags <PN>.​​
• Make sure to include the file extension .pdf.
• Example: part number = 1234, revision = 0

• <PN> is the entire part number.

  • Template: <PN>.pdf ​

  • Matches: 1234.pdf

• <PN,start,length> is a portion of the part number.

  • Template: <PN,0,2>.pdf ​

  • Matches: 12.pdf

• <R> is the revision.

  • Template: <PN>_<R>.pdf ​

  • Matches: 1234_0.pdf

• <SKIP> will skip characters between other tags

  • Template: <PN><SKIP>.pdf ​

  • Matches: 1234P.pdf

After your template is created click the Add button to insert it into the directory list.

• To delete a template location, select it in the directory list and then click the Delete button.

• To show the example part number below the drawing path box, select a template in the directory list and it will show up to help you check your template formatting.

For an example I will use the example directory "C:\Users\Kyle\Desktop\drawings\".

• In this folder I have my test drawing named 1015_0.pdf.

• My template would be: C:\Users\Kyle\Desktop\drawings\<PN>_<R>.pdf

Repeat the above steps for every directory where your drawings are located.​

Click the "OK" button at the bottom of the options screen.

You have now successfully added your drawing directories.
