AutoList – Sending the Listing Tag Setup with the Drawing

If you are sending us, or a coworker a drawing for them to AutoList or diagnose – how do you send the listing tag setup (the top 5 FIGs)? The good news is that you don't have to , they are part of the drawing as long as you are on 50.4/51.4 or newer. From the Recent Changes doc:

When Autolisting, the top five Fitting Instruction Groups (FIGs) are now written to the dictionary of the drawing.  These are added so that future users of the drawing can ascertain which groups were used when listing.
   They can be read by going into Fitting Mapping and using the Read button. You can also set your FIGs to those of the drawing by using the new Match button in the Fitting Mapping command. Be sure to do this before running AutoList on the drawing or those groups will be overwritten
