Tasks

Tasks pane with line intersection errors

This pane displays tasks (errors, warnings, and messages) generated by commands such as DETECT_NO_CONNECTED_LINES or topological control commands, and by some importers when loading a drawing file.

Double-click a task to execute its action: center an entity in the drawing window, zoom to an entity, display a dialog box, and so on. Some tasks also have a context menu with additional options, opened by right-clicking.

Columns

Column Description
(untitled) Icon indicating whether the task is an error, warning, or message. This column has an empty header; hovering over it displays "Category".
Command Task number in generation order.
Description Task description.
File Drawing file containing the entity that generated the task.
Unit Digi3D.AI extension that generated the task.
Actions Is not an error checkbox, for tasks supporting it.

Click a column title to sort tasks by that column in ascending or descending order.

When a command sends a task list together and requests sorting, identical tasks are grouped: the first shows an arrow to the left of the description; expand it to show the others as subtasks. Tasks arriving individually are not grouped.

Is not an error

Selecting Is not an error adds the task and its subtasks to tareasdescartadas.txt. The task remains in the pane. Tasks in that file are not displayed when generated again. Clearing the checkbox removes the task from the file.

tareasdescartadas.txt is in the folder of the last drawing file opened. It is read when opening the drawing file.
