# Locate Drawing

"Locate Drawing" is used when the drawing was move to another folder or the name was changed without using PlantProjectManager.

If you see a drawing icon with a red line through it, PlantProjectManager tells you the file cannot be found anymore. In this case you can select "Locate Drawing..." to locate the new drawing name or the new location.

### <mark style="color:blue;">Rename drawing</mark>

In this example the drawing was renamed from 1234-0030-10.dwg to 1234-0031-10.dwg.

When using "Locate Drawing" the file selector opens and you select the changed file name.
