Work with versions

92 viewsUpdated 18/09/20261 min read

Publishing a drawing that already exists adds a version rather than replacing what was there.

This topic includes:

Add a version

Publish the new drawing through + Add sheets exactly as before, under a new version set name. Any sheet whose number already exists gains a version; numbers that are new become new sheets. One upload can therefore revise part of the set and extend the rest.

Switch between versions

Open a sheet and use the version selector in the viewer. It lists every version with the set it arrived in. Beside it, the viewer names the format the version came from — a sheet can hold a PDF revision and a DXF revision, and the label is how you tell them apart.

Use Upload Version in the viewer to add a version to this sheet alone.

What stays attached to a version

  • Markups belong to the version they were drawn on.
  • Issue pins stay on the version they were placed on, so an issue raised against revision 1 still points at revision 1 after revision 2 arrives.
  • Number, title and discipline belong to the sheet, so correcting a title corrects it across every version.

Note: the Publish log beside the tool title records every upload — what was published, by whom, when, and which sheets it touched.
