Draft Mode is a new tool introduced in BC Framer® software version 8.3.3. A new install will add the icon "Turn On Draft Mode" to the Analysis and Design ribbon.
However, the new icon will not show by default on upgrades or installations restored from previous database backups. The upgrade process respects customized ribbons. You may need to manually add the draft mode button or reset the ribbons and QAT to default, restoring any missing or new-to-version icons.
Before getting started: It's important to know that if your ribbons have not been customized, a stock, out-of-box BC Framer toolbar experience can be achieved by simply restoring the ribbons to default.
