From the drawing to the job
The following describes the path of a drawing from when it is
prepared through to the U1 Plot job list. The work steps are
illustrated functionally and not related to persons, i.e. several
functions can be carried out by the same person.
In this example, the U1 PLOTCLIENT is interfaced with the U1
Plot, however you can easily use another possibility.
Note: More information on using U1 PLOTCLIENTS is
given in the manual of the same name.
With the help of this section, the following graphic and the first
chapter of the manual, you should be able to understand the
tasks and possible applications of U1 Plot and the environment.
