Drawing Editor
Introduction
Drawing Editor is a Tool for the conversion of “dumb” CAD drawings into intelligent, database driven representations of the data inferred from the CAD Drawing. The Aurelia tool is designed to allow the CAD to be enriched with connectivity, engineering and process information, whilst still retaining the visual fidelity of the original CAD Drawing.
Upon opening Aurelia for the first time, you will be presented with the default aurelia view (the view is configurable and saved to your windows user profile on close).

Arranging Panels
The view in Aurelia is customisable, you can move the panels around to best fit your workflow, they can be docked, tabbed floated and hidden as you require:
Clicking and dragging the panel will display a guide diamond used to dock the panels:
The panel can be snapped to any edge of the grid by dragging it onto the icons.
Clicking or hovering over a tab will expand the panel, but it will retract again after clicking off it. To fix the panel in place click the Auto-Hide button.
The options are also available from the menu on the panels:

Clicking also removes the panel. To restore the panel it must be re-enabled from the Views menu.
