LOAD_DT
The main drawing-setup command. Opens a session picker, fetches the selected project's data, and shows a review before changing the drawing. The review includes the required session data plus three ready-when-available actions: the primary Aurora site plan, the permit BOM on PV3.1, and the wire schedule on PV4.
On the ribbon: JobEngine → Session → Load Session
The Aurora row tells you which expected permit layers are not present in the export. That does not block loading: Aurora lets the exporter leave layers out on purpose. Use Open in Aurora, export the DXF, then Check again without reselecting the session.
The session data is applied first. Aurora, BOM, and wire are separate follow-up steps, so one unavailable item does not undo the parts that succeeded. BOM and wire always go to PV3.1 and PV4, even when another tab is open.
LOAD_DT also re-evaluates drawing fields, repairs the power-system
calculation-table formulas, and caches the project data used by standalone
DT_WIRE_SCHEDULE,
DT_BOM, and the Dashboard.
When to use it
Every time you start a permit drawing for a project, and again whenever the design changes in JobEngine and you need the drawing to catch up. After the drawing is loaded, use DT_RESYNC_REVIEW to skip the session picker and choose which changes to pull in.
Prerequisites
- An open drawing based on a registered JobEngine permit template.
- A JobEngine account. Sign in first with
SIGN_IN_DT;LOAD_DTdoes not open a surprise browser sign-in during drawing setup. - The project must have completed the design wizard in JobEngine so it has design data to apply.
Common problems
| Message | What to do |
|---|---|
Unrecognized template (hash: ...) | The drawing you opened isn't a template the plugin knows. You can usually proceed, but values may land incorrectly. Ask your admin to register or re-stamp the template, or check you opened the right file. |
Could not load crosswalk bundle (network + cache both failed). | The plugin couldn't reach JobEngine to download the data-mapping rules, and has no saved copy. Check your internet connection and try again. |
Session {id} not found. | The session was deleted, or your account doesn't have access to it. Pick again, or confirm the project in JobEngine. |
BLOCKED: Template ... has been withdrawn. | This template version has been pulled from use. Get the current template from your admin before continuing. |
No exported DXF found. | Use Open in Aurora, choose Export → DXF, then Check again. You can still load the session without the site plan. |
Also worth knowing: if the drawing was last set up by a newer plugin version than yours, LOAD_DT will tell you and stop — install the plugin update first.
