Working With Illustrations

The illustration helps you easily identify parts needed for the work being performed. Each part has an associated callout number. 

1. Open EPCLink by clicking the icon from any part line in your CollisionLink or RepairLink order.  
2. The illustration for that section will display with the appropriate callout highlighted.
   
   
   1. If more than one part is under the callout, the table will show all parts belonging to that callout.
      
   2. If the part cannot be found by EPCLink, a keyword search of the catalog description will pull a variety of search results that may help find the correct part. 
3. Use the zoom feature below the illustration (or your mouse scroll wheel) to zoom into the illustration. 
   
4. Above the illustration, use the following tools to markup your illustration: 
   
   
   • Pen: Enables you to draw on the illustration. Anything drawn will be included when you save or print the illustration. Click the Pen icon a second time to stop drawing. 
     
   • Text: Enables you to add text to the illustration. Anything added will be included when you save or print the illustration. Click the Text icon a second time to stop typing.
     
   • Erase: Enables you to erase text or drawings you added.
