[REPLACE WITH CLIENT CONTENT] Setting Up a Drawing Register in ArchiCAD

[REPLACE WITH CLIENT CONTENT — swap in the real ArchiCAD lesson video ID above, and rewrite the steps below to match exactly what happens in that video.]

A tidy drawing register is what keeps a documentation set easy to issue, re-issue and hand over. This tutorial walks through building one from scratch.

Step 1 — Create a master layout

Set up a title block with the fields your practice actually uses: drawing number, revision, scale and issue date. [Add a screenshot here.]

Step 2 — Build the layout book structure

Group layouts by discipline and floor so anyone opening the file can find a drawing in seconds. [Add a screenshot here.]

Step 3 — Link views and keep them updated

Place linked views onto each layout, and confirm they update automatically as the model changes.

Step 4 — Export the issue set

Publish to PDF using a saved publisher set, so every issue follows the same naming convention.
