Chapter 12. Managing Drawings

Drawings or technical documents form the foundation of any building project. They are the instructions on what the project will look like when it is finished as well as what types of materials will be used to get there. It can be extremely complex to understand and track changes to them. They have many dimensions to explain exactly what size and location to build the item they reference. Some projects have tens of thousands of these documents or more. Managing all these documents and their revisions can be a daunting task, not counting the distribution of all these documents to the correct parties. At any time, PCM allows any user to view what the latest revision of a particular document is and the distribution of that revision (as well as all past revisions). Having this information can certainly be beneficial in a litigation case.
