# Check-out

Check-out enables user to fetch the features from database and load them into current drawing for viewing and/or editing. After command is started a wizard like UI is shown to user.

First step is to select maps and layers from which features are to be imported:

Next, user can choose to check-out current or historical version of features. Choosing historical version means that user can select a specific date to see how features were represented in the past.

In the next step, user needs to select the coordinate system for the checked-out features. After chek-out procedure is successfully finished the info about coordinate system will be saved in current drawing for future use.

Last step is to check some helpful options to identify newly checked-out features on the screen.

After procedure is finished user can look into messages written in the command line that give information about number of check-out features, possible errors etc.
