top of pageII. Using the integration
- Start an EngView project. You can start a project from scratch, a parametric template, an imported file or an external object.
- (Optional) Create the layout that you need for the job.
You can create multiple layouts. If your project has multiple 1up drawings, you can create layouts from each drawing you plan to work with in PACKZ.
- (Optional) Create a 3D model of the design. The model will later appear as a preview for the job in the jobs queue.
- When you are done preparing the layouts and the 3D models, save the project.
NOTE: When you have saved the project,
the Upload to PACKZ integration button becomes avaialble 
. This means that now you can send the design to the
integration's jobs queue.
- When you have completed your work on the 1up drawings, layouts and 3D models, click the Upload to PACKZ integration button to send the file to the jobs queue.
The Submit to PACKZ Job Queue dialog box appears. Check the table below to learn what each field means.
| View Jobs | Opens the jobs queue, where you see the full of list of the jobs uploaded so far. Learn more about how to work with the queue. |
|---|---|
| Project Name | The name of the current project |
| Sent On | (Read-only) The date and time when the job was submitted to the queue |
| Customer | The project's end customer. You can select a customer from the drop-down list, or use the Plus button to create a customer. |

- In the dialog box, type the required project data, and then click OK.
If the project was uploaded to the job queue at an earlier moment, a dialog box appears.
NOTE: The options listed here reflect the fact that you can create multiple jobs from the same design. When a job is uploaded, EngView keeps a record of the underlying design. Then, each time a new job is uploaded that is created from the same design, EngView asks you whether to update the existing job or create a new job under a new name.
- Consider your case as described in the dialog box. To upload the project as an individual job, click No.
The dialog box disappears. The job is now in the queue and you can use PACKZ to open it.
