Redlining Functions (SAP Library - Collaborative Engineering & Project Management (CEP))

Redlining Functions

Use

Use redlining functions to add comments to an original application file that is being displayed. In the case of 2-D original application files this information is saved in a layer.

The general redlining functions are intended exclusively for editing 2-D files.
