Autodesk Field Management - Locations - Setup and Defining

To add a location manually, click Add To delete a location, click remove To move a location under another one, select it, click the three dots to the right and move where you need it to go OR you can select the up/down arrow at the top **Note** if you need to reimport, EXPORT the locations within the system, make your changes, and then reimport. This keeps the unique identifier tied and prevents double up. **Reimport** *Defining your locations: To link a drawing to a location you can apply it at the overall level, and it will automatically associate the drawing with all the rooms below. You can then apply room specific locations within the same sheet. *Reference location scenarios that best fits your project STEP 10: Check the box of the location to define on the drawings STEP 11: Click Add in the Linked Documents section to the right STEP 12: Select the *relevant drawings to link to that location/sub-locations. STEP 13: Click Add STEP 14: After you have selected the document(s) you want to define your locations with, click on the document name under Linked Documents. This will populate the sheet for you to define the locations. STEP 15: Zoom into the area you want to define, select the location area on the left and drag your cursor to determine your area. You have the option to use a rectangle or polygon. Rectangle: click in the corner and drag your cursor over the area Polygon: click once (do not hold) and move your cursor to the next spot, continue until you have defined the area. *If you overlap your locations, you will be able to see that in the setup and on the sheet where the locations have been defined. Be cautious about overlapping your locations! Location set up screen: Locations on drawings: STEP 16: Continue with every location on your list! You can see what locations have been defined by the area and the locations column within Document management. Example of locations: STEP 17: You can modify or remove locations! To delete, click on the area and click the delete trash can in the top middle taskbar or right-clicking and selecting remove the shape. To modify, right-click and select Insert Vertex or Remove Vertex When working with locations for issues or checklists, you no longer need to go to the specific room to put your pin/issue. In Field Management, you can select the drawing that has a location tied to it, put your pin on the sheet and it will pull the location of where your pin was placed which is opposite of Field classic. Make sure you find a drawing that has the locations set, create your issue, and place your pin where the issue lives. If your locations are set up, they will pull on your issues!
