Adding Drawings is a two-step process: The first step is [uploading the image to a storage](/v414/docs/drawings#uploading-the-drawing-to-storage), while the second step is [applying the image from the storage to the Equipment](/v414/docs/drawings#adding-drawing-to-equipment). Depending on the site, Drawings can be stored on different types of primary storage. [AIM, Sharepoint, Folder]. Make sure that the Drawing files saved as AutoCad are saved as the 2016 version of the AutoCAD, as it is the latest supported version currently. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/image-1660898852202.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T15%3A01%3A15Z&se=2026-10-28T16%3A01%3A15Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=aQKvpfDTCpsl34W%2Bxl%2BrM%2B4mQu6Iym8LsuGK3xrW%2FrQ%3D) ## Uploading Drawings to Storage It is possible to upload drawings from a number of locations including the Drawings Main Scree, the Equipment/FLOC Details Pages, and from the IMS Settings Menu: #### Drawings Main Screen To upload drawings from the Drawings Main Screen: - Navigate to the Drawings Main Screen. - Click **+** in the top left corner of the Drawings Main Grid. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/image-OPYAQKQB.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T15%3A01%3A15Z&se=2026-10-28T16%3A01%3A15Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=aQKvpfDTCpsl34W%2Bxl%2BrM%2B4mQu6Iym8LsuGK3xrW%2FrQ%3D) Click **+** to add Drawings. - Select the Drawing you want to upload. - Fill in the Required and suggested data fields. - Click **Save**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/image-ATI3DUJD.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T15%3A01%3A15Z&se=2026-10-28T16%3A01%3A15Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=aQKvpfDTCpsl34W%2Bxl%2BrM%2B4mQu6Iym8LsuGK3xrW%2FrQ%3D) Drawing Upload Dialog. #### Equipment/FLOC Details Page To upload drawings from the Equipment or FLOC Details Page: - Navigate to the Equipment/FLOC Details Page. - Scroll down to the Drawings and Documents Section. - Click **Upload** and follow the prompts. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/image-CRPT1XBK.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T15%3A01%3A15Z&se=2026-10-28T16%3A01%3A15Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=aQKvpfDTCpsl34W%2Bxl%2BrM%2B4mQu6Iym8LsuGK3xrW%2FrQ%3D) Upload Drawings from the Equipment/FLOC Details Page. > [!NOTE] > Note > > Any Drawings uploaded using the Equipment/FLOC Details Page will be associated with that Equipment and displayed in the Drawings Main Grid. #### IMS Settings Menu To upload drawings using the Settings Menu: - Navigate to the Drawing to the Settings Menu. - Select Import Drawings from [Settings \ Data Transfer \ Upload drawings & documents](/v414/docs/uploading-drawings-and-documents-via-settings). ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/image-9D6E7WLY.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T15%3A01%3A15Z&se=2026-10-28T16%3A01%3A15Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=aQKvpfDTCpsl34W%2Bxl%2BrM%2B4mQu6Iym8LsuGK3xrW%2FrQ%3D) Upload Drawings Using the Settings Menu. - Select the Drawing Type. - Click **Browse** and select your desired file/files using your operating system’s file selection dialog. - Click **Upload** in the top right hand corner of the Import Drawings page. ## Adding Drawing to Equipment Once the drawing file has been uploaded successfully, the second step is adding the Drawing from the storage, and assigning it to a dedicated piece of Equipment through the [Equipment Details Page](/v414/docs/pei-equipment-details-page).

This means that the users do not have to manually upload the file, but instead can immediately proceed to the Drawing and Documents section on the [Equipment Details Page and search for the file](/v414/docs/drawings#adding-drawing-to-equipment). ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/image-1661168461045.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T15%3A01%3A15Z&se=2026-10-28T16%3A01%3A15Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=aQKvpfDTCpsl34W%2Bxl%2BrM%2B4mQu6Iym8LsuGK3xrW%2FrQ%3D) If the file is successfully downloaded and linked from SharePoint, it should be visible in the **Drawings** Main Screen in the columns Source and Version. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/image-1661168632679.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T15%3A01%3A15Z&se=2026-10-28T16%3A01%3A15Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=aQKvpfDTCpsl34W%2Bxl%2BrM%2B4mQu6Iym8LsuGK3xrW%2FrQ%3D) IMS periodically checks for the new versions, but this can also be triggered manually: - Select the drawing in the grid. - Clicking the *Versioning* button in the grid toolbar. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/image-1661168789811.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T15%3A01%3A15Z&se=2026-10-28T16%3A01%3A15Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=aQKvpfDTCpsl34W%2Bxl%2BrM%2B4mQu6Iym8LsuGK3xrW%2FrQ%3D) Integrity Management System
