Using The Task Manager

The Task Manager and its built-in database work only with files that have been set up with the Model Setup and Create Standard Viewports commands (see Model Setup and Creating Standard Viewports). The Task Manager cannot be used on a blank file or a file set up using unrecognized standards.

To use the Task Manager:

1.	Select Tools > Task Manager.

The Choose Viewport/Saved View and Task dialog box opens. Select the viewport or saved view and the associated task to be performed.

 

Parameter	Description
In Viewport/Saved View	Select the viewport or view where the task should be performed
Do task	Select the associated task to perform from the list of tasks relevant to the viewport or view
Task Description	Displays a summary of the task selected in Do task
Edit Existing/Create New Task	Changes the current task or allows new tasks to be added for the current viewport or view; see Editing the Task Manager Database

2.

Click OK.

The Task Manager switches to the active design layer and class for the selected viewport or saved view and task. It also adjusts visibility options for layers and classes as necessary.
