Good day esteemed forum members and Autodesk staff.
Problem Statement
Within the ACC Review process, there is no ability to update title-block information during or after a ACC Review. No "smart" or "automated" process by which this data can be updated, even with Reviews getting approved.
What this means is that when working in a "Work-in-progress / draft" state, the drawings we work on and the PDFs for which we create need to be created in a "ready to issue" state, pre-filled with any verifications / approvals / dates for issue and related information that gets recorded on the title-blocks of drawings.
Potential Solution
I propose that Autodesk develop a solution by which the title-block information can be targeted and updated in PDF once they are approved within the Review process.
Much how the BIM 360 Plan "title-block detection" feature works - in that it understands the areas by which it needs to be targeting in order to automate the data digging.
For example (potential solution):
- Review is initiated.
- Review is completed by the Design Verifier / Approver and the PDFs are approved.
- When approved, targeted areas on the approved PDFs title-block will get updated with the names of the Verifier / Approver and the date of issue also gets filled in.
By implementing this kind of workflow we can improve our workflows and ensure that documentation that is in a work-in-progress state does not get confused with properly published documentation for issuing to clients / external parties.
Thank you.
