Drawings and reports in ILX Connection.
Your defaults
Set up your firm once. In Settings, enter your firm name, address and license, the engineer of record, and the general notes you put on every job. These are your own defaults, and every new project starts from them.
Project settings
When one project needs something different, switch to the project and change just that field. It is marked as a project setting, and everything else keeps following your defaults. Copy settings from another project, or make a project's settings your new defaults, in one click.
Report settings
The calculation report is yours to shape. Start from a preset, from a short summary to the full step-by-step calculations, then fine-tune the header and footer, the drawings, the units and the order of the sections. Turn a section off, and it simply leaves the report.
Sheet sizes
Drawing sheets come in eleven by seventeen, and in letter size, landscape or portrait. Pick a size for one drawing, or make it your default. The layout adapts to the sheet, with the elevation, the plan, the notes and your title block in their places.
The finished report
The result is a clean, consistent package for every connection: a report that starts with a clear summary and walks through every check, and a drawing sheet ready to issue with the job.
