Upload failures are usually caused by unsupported file types, interrupted network requests, large files, or browser/session issues.

Start with file type, file size, network, and browser checks.
Check the basics
- 1
Confirm the file type
Use a PDF drawing file for the main drawing upload flow.
- 2
Check file size
Large scanned PDFs can take longer to upload and process.
- 3
Retry on stable internet
Avoid switching networks, sleeping the laptop, or closing the tab during upload.
Try a clean retry
- 1
Refresh the app
Reload the workspace after confirming your previous work is saved.
- 2
Rename the file
Use a simple filename without unusual characters if upload repeatedly fails.
- 3
Contact support
Send the file name, approximate size, browser, and any error message if the problem continues.
