During the drawing generation process, the software creates a message (or log) file and saves it as a simple text file. In instances where the software reports a problem with the generated drawing, reviewing this log file provides information regarding possible causes.
To access the message file, select View Messages in the Deliverables Generated Dialog which reports the success or failure of the drawing generation process. The software uses a standard text editor, such as Notepad, to display the message file.
