Error Management

The Error Management window identifies and (where possible) corrects logical errors that may arise during project design.

Tabs

  • Errors: Lists all detected project errors with columns for No., Description, Page, and Coordinate.
  • Settings: Select which error types to display. Use Check all or Uncheck all for bulk selection.

The [Edit] Button

Allows you to collectively change or correct errors on selected lines based on common element properties.
