Accessing the Brava viewer within the Projektstruktur environment is straightforward and can be accomplished through two simple methods. Initially, you need to navigate to the desired file. This is done by exploring the project or archive folder structure within Projektstruktur. Once you have located the file you wish to view, you have two options to open it in the Brava viewer: Use the Tools Menu First, locate the file in the list view. Click to select or highlight the file in the leftmost column of this list. This action essentially marks the file for further operations. Next, navigate to the tools menu. Within this menu, you'll find an option labeled “Open in Brava.” Selecting this will launch the file in the Brava viewer, ready for viewing or editing. Direct Opening via the Drawing Icon Alternatively, there's a more direct method if your file list includes the “Show drawing” column. In this column, each file associated with a drawable format will have a drawing icon. Simply click on this icon next to the file you're interested in. This action bypasses the tools menu and opens the file directly in the Brava viewer. Both methods are designed for ease of use and efficiency, ensuring a seamless transition from the Projektstruktur interface to the Brava viewer. This allows users to quickly access and interact with their DWG and PDF files. In this article:
