Docs - Linking pdf and dwg files together

Docs - Linking pdf and dwg files together

It would be great if we could link certain types of files together to improve usability.

 

In all of our project, each member (Architect, Engineer, etc.) will upload the 'published' pdf that we work from contractually, as well as the accompanying dwg, which can be used for coordination by other members when needed. 

 

We currently have both types uploaded to the same folder, but this means we have the files alternating as they go down the list. If BIM360 could recognise when a pdf and a dwg with the same name have been uploaded to the same folder, and then provide a way of adding a link to the dwg from the pdf file, that would be great. Maybe this could be done by adding a 'Open DWG' in the 'hover' menu, as well a button in the BIM Viewer?

This seems to be a basic requirement that many other document control systems do as standard. 

Having a primary and secondary (and tertiary etc) file type of the same document.

Would also save having to select 100 files for a transmittal rather than 50 (say) if the file formats were linked.
