Locking the specification

Once the design is agreed, lock the specification. It then keeps the state from the moment of locking: even if someone changes an object later, the specification keeps what went into production.

Locking

Section titled “Locking”
  1. Check that the project is ready — every copy placed, every object reviewed.
  2. Click Lock final spec.

The specification gets the Final · Rev. 1 label. Every lock is a new revision.

What locking means

Section titled “What locking means”
  • Object quantities and cut settings can’t be changed.
  • Panel codes, the cut list and remnants stay as they were when you locked.
  • The editor stays open — you can still change objects, but those changes don’t go into the locked specification.
  • You can change the layout in the project 3D view, but you can’t add new copies.

If the objects change after locking, the specification tells you: The objects changed after the spec was locked.

Unlocking

Section titled “Unlocking”

Unlock turns the specification back into a draft. The next lock makes a new revision (Rev. 2…). Earlier PDFs stay under Revisions.
