Jobs-Working system

   Retaining of the jobs is one of the basic tasks of the operator. It requires creation of a file structure from directories and good knowledge of work with operational system. The program requires not to use identical file names and deleting  temporary files of nonexistent jobs. 

   The system for work with the  jobs includes the following modules: Open job FORM, Saving  a new job FORM, Close job FORM, Save job FORM. The purpose of the system is easy creation of a structure and fast access to the saving  information about them. The modules Saving a new  job FORM and Open job FORM automatically build and supervise the file structure. The forms for work with the jobs are practically identical.

 Save a job FORM

The jobs are kept only in subfolders ,which are in folders. This hierarchical structure quite corresponds to the file structure of your computer.

To create a new folder, enter its name into the field New folder name and press the button Create new folder. Select the folder, created in the list. Into the field  Name of new subfolder  enter its name and press the button Create a new subfolder. Select  the subfolder in the list and enter a Job's user name of the opened job, which you want to save. The button Save a job saves the  job ( together with its working files) in the created structure.  Identical names of folders, subfolders and  jobs are not allowed. You can correct the names in the three lists. There are no restrictions about the number of folders, subfolders and jobs, which can be created. Enter short texts. Enter the explanatory text to the job into the same field (the maximal text length is 225 symbols).  If you want to edit the text or to enter it to an already existing job, after the change in the field, press the button  Update text to the job.

When you  copy  an already existing  job under another name, you always must save the copy  in  the subdirectory of the original job.

The  jobs are deleted together with all connected with them working files and graphic images. The original  job cannot be deleted till its derivative jobs exist. The deleting of a folder and subfolder is possible only if the lists belonging to them are empty. 

The opened jobs are not subject of schematic preview in a dwg mode.

In the window Save a new drawing will be loaded the folder and subfolder in which it is saved. The purpose of the operation is to find the path to already saved drawing fast and easily.
