    - resource sketch.

  3. Click the To Extract column to indicate whether or not you want to extract the associated document:
    Clicking in this column switches the value from Yes to No and vice-versa.
    Set to Yes for Pin jigs Drawing only.

  4. Click Launch when done.
    Requested workshop document is generated and saved in the location identified in the Project Resource Management (PRM) file.
