Field notes / Guide 03

Prepare for an offline site visit.

A file visible in a cloud folder may still need downloading. Make a local copy and check it before travelling.

  1. While connected, open every required DWG or ASCII DXF in LinePocket. Wait until the drawing is fully prepared.
  2. Check that the relevant plans, labels, and layers are visible. Read and resolve compatibility warnings for the detail you need.
  3. Confirm each drawing appears in Saved Files, then reopen it there.
  4. If you need measurement, activate the seven-day trial or buy/restore Pro while connected. Complete the App Store confirmation before leaving. Check that a trial will remain active throughout the visit.
  5. Enable Airplane Mode and reopen the saved drawings. Check navigation and the tools you need on that iPhone.

Keep a backup view

Carry a reference export from the authoring application for critical checks. LinePocket displays supported 2D objects and may omit unsupported content.

Purchasing or restoring requires a connection. Previously verified Pro access and locally saved drawings support offline use; a new phone or reinstall may require restoration while connected.
