## Enter independent FactorySpec answers

1. **Load the current FactorySpec configuration**

   Read the current product configuration before changing it.

2. **Choose a complete engineering case**

   Work on one full independent case.

3. **Choose the ordinary frame case**

   Use the case worked by hand from drawing FA-300.

4. **Read the engineering case**

   Read the supplied inputs and the complete independently expected BOM.

5. **Enter the expected native status**

   The hand-worked ordinary frame should be valid. Keep the complete expected BOM unchanged.

6. **Record the independent drawing calculation**

   State which drawing supplied the independent expected lengths and quantities.

7. **Prepare the complete change**

   Check the complete values before preparing the private file.

8. **Upload the checked file**

   Upload the complete change. Uploading alone does not save it.

9. **Confirm the complete change**

   Confirm that the whole file contains the values you intend to save.

10. **Save the complete change**

   Wait for the product to confirm the original save. Separate checking and approval are still required.
