Units of Measure
The default selection for a new Job is set to English, but depending on your Job, you can choose either Metric or Both.
Use This Setting When Printing
By default, this setting is selected and should remain checked if you want this setting to apply when printing.
Use Revisions
The Use Revisions checkbox is enabled by default and will automatically enable Revisions when editing the Job.
The Editor's Edit menu provides more details about the use and markup for Revisions.
Automatic Paragraph Numbering
The Automatic Paragraph Numbering feature provides the capability to choose whether the Job uses the Numeric or Alphanumeric numbering schemes. All government Jobs use the Numeric numbering scheme, therefore all new Jobs are set to use Numeric by default.
Examples of Automatic Numbering Formats
Manage Sections Remotely
This feature supports third-party file management applications and should be used with caution. When you select the option Sections are stored remotely... and enter the file path, SpecsIntact no longer manages the files and will offer to open the files from the designated location.
When using this feature, the files are not visible from the SpecsIntact Explorer. Therefore, the Process and Print/Publish features will not be available.
The print option will print the contents from all the Properties Tabs.
Standard Windows Commands
The OK button will execute and save selections made and make them part of your Job's properties.
The Cancel button will close the window without recording any selections or changes entered.
The Help button will open the Help Topic for this window.
