Managing Drafting Errors
You can use the Drafting Errors view to manage drafting errors. To show the Drafting Errors view, click the Drafting Errors button at the top of the Contract Tools pane.
To sort drafting errors by category, count, or location, click one of the buttons at the top left of the view.
To go a drafting error, click a drafting error in the view. You can also use the Previous and Next buttons to go to drafting errors; see The Context Button; the Previous and Next Buttons to learn more.
To ignore a drafting error, click a drafting error in the view to select it, and then click the Ignore button (×) at the bottom of the view or press the Backspace key. You can also use the Context button to ignore drafting errors; see The Context Button; the Previous and Next Buttons to learn how. Drafting errors you ignore are saved with your document by default; see Saving Analysis Settings to learn more.
Note: You ignore categories of drafting errors, not individual drafting errors. You cannot ignore list order errors, unmatched punctuation errors, and broken Ref field errors.
To restore a drafting error you’ve ignored, choose Show Ignored Drafting Errors from the Action pop‑up menu at the bottom of the view, select the ignored drafting error you want to restore, and then click the Restore button at the bottom of the view or press the Backspace key.
To quickly restore all ignored drafting errors, choose Restore Ignored Drafting Errors from the Action pop‑up menu at the bottom of the view.
To copy a list of drafting errors to the clipboard, choose Copy Drafting Errors from the Action pop‑up menu at the bottom of the view; see Copying and Pasting the Contents of Views to learn more.
To quickly fix all formatting inconsistencies, choose Fix Formatting Inconsistencies from the Action pop‑up menu at the bottom of the view.
Note: Before fixing all formatting inconsistencies, it’s a good idea to review formatting inconsistencies and ignore the ones you don’t want to change.
To find a drafting error in the view, type all or part of the drafting error you want to find in the Filter field at the bottom of the view.
