Step 2: Load part files into the quote

    . The issue should then be resolved with your drawing program before attempting to upload again.
  • If issues are found that can be corrected by ToolBox or ignored by you, the part(s) will be given a orange icon
    . Each issue is listed below the part.
  • If no issues are found, the part(s) will be given a green icon
    .
