Before You Start
- You will need to know where your existing drawing is located on your machine (where that project and drawings were saved).
- Are you going to use the SysNames from the existing drawing or are you going to create new SysNames. (In some occasions SysNames will not be able to be reused. Cable numbers will not be reusable in your current project).

Saving Updated Drawing Data
You will need to manually save your drawing after any of the following:
- Reseting all cable numbers in drawing.
- Reseting all SysName data in drawing.
Your drawing is now ready to be customised to fit your current project. After updating SysNames and Cable Numbers, all data will be availiable in your reports.
