Viewing an Avontus Designer Drawing that is Attached to a Quantify Entity

You can launch Avontus Designer drawing files attached to Quantify and Quantify Web dialogs (for example: Estimates, Shipments, Requests, etc.) in Avontus Designer, if Avontus Designer and Quantify are both installed. This enables you to view the scaffolds in 3D. If Avontus Designer isn't installed, you can use Microsoft Visio to open these files.

Note: If you do not have Microsoft Visio, you can download Microsoft Visio 2016 Viewer, which enables you to view Avontus Designer drawings with Internet Explorer.
