As the title suggested, can we put the same drawing in multiple sets? 

 

For example, Electrical drawings are in Electrical Sets and also want to include the Electrical dawings to the F

Hi @frahaman7SKBG ,

 

Sorry to clarify you talking about the version sets in Autodesk Build? 

 

As far as I am aware you can publish to one version set at a time, but the same drawing cannot be assign to different sets on publishing. Then if you publish a new drawing you can assign it to a new set, that will be assigned to the new set where the previous could be assigned to another set. You can assign them with multiple tags if you need to which helps others find when they filter information. 

 

I hope this makes sense?

It makes sense, but I find it odd that they would not have this basic function for software that suppose to be the backbone of a construction project. For any construction, you need to submit multiple sets of drawings to multiple departments and teams and it is very common that one drawing can be part of multiple sets. For example, an Architectural drawing can be part of the Architectural Set, Tender Set, and/or General Set.

We are looking for something similar.

Sets is fine for very broad grouping of documents that are attributed to a single purpose, like 'For Construction'. But similar to what the OP said, it is missing a feature comparable to grouping documents as 'Packages'. Not packages as in Design Collaboration, but packages that contain documents that are formally issued.

Hi @frahaman7SKBG @Chad-Smith ,

 

It was the same in BIM 360 Docs when you could assign files to Sets they could only be one set. I guess this one is another one for the Ideas Forum.

I think we need a response from Autodesk here. If it is not possible to assign a sheet to multiple sets the platform is unusable for Document Control.

Why has this not been addressed? If I have the same drawings assigned to 30, 60, 90, and IFC. I can use the compare tool to see the differences but I want to to filter each document set. Nope. It only displays the most recent, Fix this.
