Suites Workflow Manager

    Workflow Manager provides access to workflows and enables you to duplicate a standard workflow. The standard workflows cannot be edited or deleted. When you duplicate a standard workflow, you can save the copy as a user workflow, changing the settings and the name to suit your needs.

    Workflow Manager (AutoCAD version)

    User workflows can be copied, modified, and deleted if no longer required. The standard workflows remain available for use or to serve as templates for creating additional user workflows. User workflows are marked with an orange flag, and standard workflows with a blue flag. When you create a user workflow, it is recommended that you change the name and description to help specify the purpose of the workflow.

    Standard and User Workflows

    Workflow Manager is accessible from the Workflow menu, the main application menu, or the AutoCAD WORKFLOW command.
