Uploading and managing a drawing set

A drawing set is the starting point for every new group of plans or revisions. Users with drawing-management permission can add sets from the Drawings page by selecting Add/Edit Drawing Sets.

Best for: Drawing administrators · Before you begin: Choose the existing drawing area that owns the related revisions and gather the source PDFs.

Upload a set

1. Open the correct drawing area.
2. Select Add/Edit Drawing Sets.
3. Select Add New Drawing Set.
4. Enter a clear set name, such as Issued for Construction - 2026-07-15.
5. Enter the date the set was received.
6. Choose a default sheet date, if one applies.
7. Add an optional description.
8. Attach one or more PDF files.
9. Select Submit.

The drawing-set upload accepts PDF files. If the issuance arrived as several PDFs, you can attach them to the same set instead of creating a separate set for each file.

Example — ASI 3: Upload all PDFs issued together as one set named ASI 3 - 2026-07-15 in the drawing area that already contains A101. Do not create a new drawing area just because the issuance is new.

Choose a useful default sheet date

The default sheet date is applied to the imported pages as a starting point. You can correct individual dates during review or edit dates in bulk after processing.

Use the date printed on most sheets—not necessarily the date you received the files. If the package contains mixed dates, choose the most common date and correct the exceptions during review.

Edit set details

You can edit the drawing set's name, received date, default sheet date, and description after uploading it. These fields describe the upload package; they don't change the sheet number or title of the drawings inside it.

Delete a set

Deleting a drawing set removes its active pages from the drawing workflow. If the set contains published revisions, removing it can affect which revision is current.

Before you delete: A drawing set can contain the current revision of many sheets. Confirm all of the following:

• Confirm that you opened the correct drawing area and set.
• Check whether any sheets are published.
• Download a copy first if the files need to be retained outside Constructable.

If you only need to remove one page, delete that sheet instead of the entire set.

After submission, continue with What happens while a drawing set is processing.
