Plan a submission and hit Assemble

Lay out the set for a deadline, tag the sheets that belong in it, then assemble every drawing — latest version, correct order — into one PDF in a single pass.

Before you start: a project whose sheets have drawings attached — uploaded, or synced from Forma (see Connect SketchWeave to Autodesk Forma).

Create a submission

  1. Open the sheet listSubmissions

    Click the sheet button on the dock rail, then Submissions — the Project Submissions dialog opens.

  2. Add a submission

    Name it — like Issued for Permit or Issued for Construction — with an optional submission date, and click Add.

Tag and order the sheets

  1. Open the sheet listDrawing Set Manager

    This is the packaging console — sheet order, owners, status, QA/QC checks, submissions, and assembly, all in one place.

  2. Tag sheets into the submission

    For each sheet that belongs in the set, tag it into the submission in its row.

  3. Drag to set the order

    Reorder sheets in the manager — that's the exact order the assembled PDF uses.

Assemble

  1. Choose which set to assemble

    Pick the classic "all ready sheets," or a specific submission. When a submission is selected, the manager shows how many sheets are in that set.

  2. Click Assemble

    SketchWeave merges every ready sheet's current drawing, in order, into one PDF.

  3. Read the summary

    It tells you how many sheets were assembled and lists any it skipped — so nothing goes out half-baked.

Note Only sheets marked ready with a drawing are assembled. A sheet with no drawing, or still in progress, is skipped and reported by name.

Issue the set in one pass

Plan the submission, tag the sheets, and let Assemble build the PDF — in order, at the latest version.
