Switching a Drawing to Another Standard

You can switch a drawing to another standard when several standards have been defined by an administrator.

Each drawing contains a copy of the standard it uses, and retains this version until you explicitly switch the drawing to another standard or update this copy.

Before you begin: Create a new drawing representation. Make sure you specify the standard that you want to use.
