Keep drawings up to date automatically

The hardest part of issuing a set is making sure every drawing is the latest one. SketchWeave tracks the current version of each drawing for you, so you never chase copies.

Good to know: version tracking works for any uploaded drawing, and is most powerful on a Forma-linked project.

Every drawing keeps a version history

When a sheet's drawing changes — a new upload, or a fresh publish synced from Forma — SketchWeave records it as a new version and moves the sheet to the latest. Older versions stay in the history, so nothing is lost and you can always see what changed.

With Forma, the latest is pulled for you

On a linked project, each sync imports the sheet PDFs newly published from your Revit models and advances matched sheets to that version. Set the link to Every hour and it stays current on its own; or press Sync now before a deadline. (See Connect SketchWeave to Autodesk Forma.)

  • Forma takes priority on matched sheets — a manual upload is overridden by the Forma version, but kept in the history.
  • Unmatched Forma sheets are reported, never silently created — you decide what to add.
  • A sync that lands while the project is being edited is deferred, not lost — it catches up on the next run.

The Drawing column tracks each sheet's current version and date — "v2 · Jul 5, 2026," or "no drawing" where one is missing.

Assemble always uses the current version

Because each sheet already points at its latest drawing, Assemble gathers the current version of every sheet with no extra step. Plan the set, keep it synced, and issue in one click. (See Plan a submission and hit Assemble.)

Tip The payoff: the drawing on your canvas and the drawing in your issued set are the same current version — automatically.

Stop chasing the latest copy

Let SketchWeave keep every drawing current, so the set you issue is the set you meant to.
