You can create and upload a drawing set (a collection of
drawings sheets) so that they are published together, by going to .
Once you create the
drawing set, you can upload individual drawings sheets into it, or you can upload a
combined, multi-sheet PDF of drawings, which Viewpoint Team then automatically recognizes the names of, and splits
them out to create a drawings log. This saves you time on drawing set preparation with
automatic splitting, naming, numbering and sorting of sheets into disciplines—in one
easy process.
