Drawings

The Drawings page is the project’s drawing register. Each drawing carries its title and code, and collects revisions; each revision is one issue of the drawing, with its own file, label and status. Anyone on your team can manage drawings; your client only ever sees approved ones.

Revisions

Each revision carries one PDF. Adding a revision starts a fresh one with the next label suggested for you, following whatever pattern you use (a, b, c or 1, 2, 3), and you can type your own.

The title and code stay with the drawing itself rather than any single revision, and you edit them from any saved revision. The one place they are locked is while you are adding a new revision to an existing drawing, so that saving your new issue cannot quietly rename the whole drawing.

Statuses

A revision is Not started, In progress, Complete, Approved or Rejected. The last three describe a finished document, so they are only offered once the revision has a file attached; removing the file puts the revision back to In progress.

You can set a status by hand, and linked items also move it for you, once the revision has a file. When an approval linked to a revision concludes, the revision is marked Approved or Rejected to match, provided every linked approval agrees and the revision has no decision of its own yet; the first decision sticks, and a later linked approval never overwrites it. Completing the last of a revision’s linked tasks marks it Complete. Linking a revision to an approval is how you have a sign-off chain drive the drawing.

Reading a sheet with AI

After you upload a sheet, Analyse with AI reads it and fills in the revision label and description for you. On a drawing with no other revisions it fills the title and code too; once other revisions exist it leaves them alone, so one click cannot rename the drawing’s whole history. Check what it wrote against the sheet before relying on it.

Deleting

Deleting a revision moves you to the previous one. Deleting the last revision leaves the drawing in the register with no revisions; removing the drawing itself is a separate delete.

Deleting a drawing deletes every revision of it, the whole history at once. To remove one issue, delete that revision instead.

What your client sees

The portal’s Drawings page lists Approved revisions only, and a drawing with no approved revision does not appear there at all. Approving a revision is what publishes it to your client.

If a client says a drawing is missing, check the revision status first: it is usually a drawing that has not been approved yet.
