# Protecting Drawings

You can lock drawings so that they can’t be modified accidentally.

If you lock selected drawings in an element, you can auto paint all the other drawings without modifying the locked ones.

You can only lock drawings from the Exposure Sheet window.

To protect drawings:

1. Select the drawing(s) you want to lock.

2. Control-click the selected drawing(s) and select Lock Drawing from the pop-up menu.

A lock appears on the selected drawings wherever in use.

3. To unlock the drawing, [Control]-click it and select Unlock Drawing from the pop-up menu.
