This guide will be used for the tablet only, no HoloLens 🕶️ needed.

For both Part 2 and Part 3 - 2D and 3D viewers guides, please use the same assembly as you used for the Part 1.

We will kindly ask you to refrain from using complex assemblies and stick to the simple ones, such as a column or a beam. You can see the examples above:
We will teach you how to work with complex assemblies in the advanced guides later on 😉

Part 2: Basics Of 2D Viewer
Welcome to our guide for the tablet 2D viewer!

Here, you will learn how to work with the digital drawings and get information about some useful features of the 2D viewer.

Part 2: Basics of the 2D Viewer
Step 1: Keep things digital

With Drawings viewer there is no need to go back and forth printing and getting assembly drawings.
Once you found your assembly on the Home Screen of the FabStation, you can:

1) View it from any mode, just by clicking on the Drawings button;

2) Zoom it in and out with fingers 🤏 or buttons on the top left;

3) Move zoomed in image with fingers 👇🏻

4) Click on "Exit" on the top right to get back to the mode page with other actions.

Tried all those with your assembly? Let's check other benefits 🤝🏽

Part 2: Basics of the 2D Viewer
Tasks:
a) Navigate to the Drawing section.

b) Check if the drawing you see there is the same as the paper one you usually get to complete an assembly.

c) Click on "Assembly PDF" and see if there are other parts available to view.

Time for some short tests!

💡 We recommend you to open the FabStation and actually check the questions with your assembly before replying. 💡
1. Will the drawing of the assembly part look the same/similar to the drawing you usually get in a paper format?*

Yes, it will look similar or the sameNo, it will be a totally different drawing
2. Is it possible to view all the parts of the assembly via Drawings viewer?*

No, it's only possible to view the main partYes, I can navigate to those parts using the drop-down on the topIt's possible to view the other parts with the FabStation, but I need a different viewer
3. Is it possible to zoom in the drawing?*

Yes, I can do it with fingers or buttons with the magnifier on the topYes, I can do it, buy only using buttons with the magnifier on the topNo, it's not possible
