The software can then automatically create an issue sheet, that not only includes the issued drawing name, number and revision, but also what changes have been included as part of that drawings revision. When you create an issue, assisted by the computer, you select the drawings you wish to include in this issue. This is the part that brings both of the above together. The software is also intelligent enough to recognise the format of your revision reference number, so if you put an 'a' the next revision will be a 'b', or if you put 'C01' the next revision will be 'C02'. Most projects result in the production of hundreds of drawings, and keeping track of actual issued revision numbers can be a daunting task.ĪrchiCAD 18 automates this process, it keeps track of a drawing state and adds WIP (Work In Progress) to the next revision number of drawings that are informally issued between official issues, and moves to the next revision number when a formal issue takes place. This allows project managers to see, both current and historically, what changes have been implemented, by who, and when.Īs part of the issued information, the end user can receive a Change Schedule, with change reference numbers and descriptions, from which they can easily identify from the revision issue table on the drawing and revision clouds (if required) exactly what has changed on that drawing. Wether you are a project manager in an architects office assigning alterations to staff, or an end user of the issued drawing, keeping track of changes to a 3D model or 2D drawing can be a very difficult task.Ĭhange Manager enables individual items or revision clouds to be associated to an identified change description. One of the biggest 'non-creative' changes to ArchiCAD in many years, came with the release of version 18.
