Create a drawing package

Start a new drawing package on a project and upload its first drawings.

Updated

A drawing package groups the drawings that are approved and issued together, such as "GA Plans — All Floors" or "Kitchen joinery".

Before you start

  • You need to be the project lead, the design lead or a studio admin.
  • Have at least one drawing file ready.

Steps

  1. Open the project and click the Drawings tab.
  2. Click New package.
  3. Enter a Package name.
  4. Drop drawings onto Drop drawings, or browse, or click to choose them.
  5. Click Create package. Keep the window open until every file shows Done.

What happens next

  • The package starts in Draft.
  • It gets a copy of your studio's issue checklist, set in Settings › Studio › Drawings.
  • Each drawing is saved as version 1.
  • Nobody is notified, and nothing is shared with the client or contractors yet.

Good to know

  • If some files fail, you see how many. Do not click Create package again, as that makes a second package. Close the dialog, open the package and add the missing files with Add drawing files.
  • Later changes to the studio checklist do not change packages that already exist.
  • On the Drawings tab, use Search packages & drawings… to find a package or drawing. Click a package's row to list its drawings, and Open to see its details.
