Specifications Folder

Specifications Folder

Add a specifications folder ....because 99.9% of projects have drawings / plans and specifications.

 

Specifications should be a default folder that is setup for multi-page pdfs and versions stack on top of one another so you can get back to earlier versions.

Would be great to see this automatically break up the specs by section, similar how the drawings break them down by page.

Agree this would be a great and very necessary feature to have within DOCs, especially since in many cases Specifications contractually trump drawings. Having the ability to do a key word search of the entire spec database would help too since they are usually thousands of pages long.

Was this spec folder ever set up that breaks up by section?

@Anonymous Not yet, but it is a future consideration.

Any update on this, Autodesk?  Been a few years...

 

EDIT: didn't scroll down... my mistake!  Anyway, this would be a critical feature that companies like Procore have had for some time now.

Also, since this is somewhat related, @joan_allen, what are Autodesk's plans for spec management in general?   A related post about creating submittals from an OCR'd spec book seems like a logical next step since Procore has been doing this for some time.

Bump for @Anonymous 

 

@joan_allen where is Autodesk with this? We currently have multiple clients who will require project templates and this will be extremely long to do for each project without a proper spec management feature.

 

Best Option: Create submittal logs using OCR from the Spec Book

 

Also, it would be ideal to do this at the Admin level to generate a standard base template and have the ability to fine tune a local copy when in Project Admin.
