The Print Draft command prints a draft copy of an unprocessed SectionA set of files within the Division of a Master or Job that covers specific aspects of construction.
To produce processed Sections they must be printed through the SpecsIntact Explorer's File menu or the Right-click menu's Process and Print/Publish function.
The printed draft output of a Section will accurately reflect its on-screen view in the SI Editor. This includes any visible RevisionsThe Revisions command reveals or conceals Revisions that are tagged in the text. Text to be added is identified with underscoring and the addition tags, <ADD> and </ADD>. Whereas text to be deleted, or Redlined, is identified with overstriking and the delete tags, <DEL> and </DEL>, TagsSpecsIntact relies on tags to control content, and formatting, automate processes, and generate reports. These special markers, like <SEC> and </SEC>, define elements and attributes within the specifications. Some tags, like <Page />, function independently. In essence, tags are the building blocks of SpecsIntact documents, and the Specifier NotesSpecifier Notes <NTE> are paragraphs of information included in the Section written to aid the Engineer, Architect, or Specifier in editing the specification.
