The register,the revisions,the transmittal.

Every discipline's sheets in one table, title blocks that fill themselves in, revisions per sheet or per set, slip sheets that keep their markups, and a transmittal with the PDF that actually went.

The register, the title block and the transmittal, from one record
SHEET D-001.1
The work

From a new set
to a clean issue.

Set up the set

Project details once, title blocks in one click, numbers read off the drawings.

Revise

Slip in the new issue, up-rev the sheets that changed, drop deltas by the clouds.

Issue

Transmittal, flattened PDF, register CSV - and the issue register keeps up.

Questions

Asked by document controllers.

Can it read drawing numbers off the title blocks?

Yes. Drag a box round the number or title on one sheet and the same box is read on every sheet, in the same corner on sheets of other sizes. It reads text in the PDF, not scans.

Do revisions have to move together?

No. The set moves together while it is in step; once a sheet runs ahead, each sheet goes to its own next revision and nothing is forced into step.

Can it add Bates numbers or a watermark?

Yes. Page marks adds headers, footers, page numbers, Bates numbers and watermarks such as NOT FOR CONSTRUCTION, previewed sheet by sheet.
