Managing Drawing Pages

Multi-page drawing sets change over a job: revised sheets arrive, blank pages are needed for notes, and single sheets need extracting for a subcontractor. All of this happens in the Thumbnails panel without leaving the workspace.

The Thumbnails context menu holds insert, replace, extract, delete, and page clipboard actions.

Add and replace pages

  1. 1

    Insert pages

    Right-click a thumbnail and choose Insert Blank Page (Ctrl+Shift+N) for a notes sheet, or Insert Pages (Ctrl+Shift+I) to bring in pages from another PDF or image file.

  2. 2

    Replace revised sheets

    Choose Replace Pages (Ctrl+Shift+Y) to swap selected pages for a new file — useful when a revision supersedes a sheet but the rest of the set is unchanged.

  3. 3

    Recheck scale and markups

    Replaced pages need recalibration, and existing markups should be reviewed against the new sheet content.

Extract, move, and remove pages

  1. 1

    Extract pages

    Choose Extract Pages (Ctrl+Shift+X) to save selected sheets as their own file — handy for issuing a single trade's sheets.

  2. 2

    Move pages with the clipboard

    Cut, Copy, and Paste Pages reorganize sheets within or between positions in the document.

  3. 3

    Delete pages

    Choose Delete Pages (Ctrl+Shift+D) to remove selected sheets. A document must keep at least one page.

Export a single page

The same context menu can export the selected page as PDF, PNG, or JPEG — the quickest way to get a single-sheet image for an email or site message.
