The Drawing Manager supports other file types than ordinary drawing sheets (DXF files). That feature can be used for Word documents, Excel sheets, PDF files, and many more.

 

If this support is enabled, and files that have file types that the Drawing Manager is configured to support are copied to the project, you can collect them using the ordinary Collect command. You can therefore see these files in the Drawing Manager and also open them in the usual cadett ELSA manner, for example with the Open button. If you open a file other than a DXF file from the Drawing Manager, the program that is associated with the file type in question in Windows, will start and open the file.
