Drawboard

At Drawboard, we’ve recently delivered some exciting new tools and features for our technical users! 

We have a strong user-base of highly technical teams. We like to stay engaged with our community of professionals, so when they ask for certain things, we deliver.

For the AEC industry (Architecture, Engineering, Construction) we’ve shipped a bunch of new releases across Drawboard PDF and Drawboard Projects that are designed to help teams and individuals collaborate more effectively and mark up seamlessly.

A core focus has been delivering the tools and solutions that help teams streamline their design review processes, reduce barriers to collaboration and better enable the handling of high volume technical drawings and documents.

…all this was designed to help teams work better together, reduce turnaround times and reach business goals faster.

Knowing that security is paramount to our AEC customers, we’re also prioritizing security and privacy for every team and individual user of Drawboard PDF or Drawboard Projects

Excited to announce that Drawboard is now certified with SOC 2 compliance, a verification certifying adherence to systems and principles relating to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.

Coupled with offering secure digital workspaces and systems for teams to collaborate, coordinate and mark up - one of our main goals this year is to deliver all of the tools that will help growing teams scale, while also helping big, complex teams better manage large projects.

We’ve released a host of new features that are designed to help AEC professionals using Drawboard Projects and Drawboard PDF, and plan to continue to evolve our offering based on what the AEC community wants. If you work in AEC and have any specific requirements, we’d love to hear from you. You can leave suggestions here.

Drawboard new releases so far:

Drawboard Projects has released a set of features that are designed to:

  • Service teams as they scale
  • Serve large, complex team in streamlining coordination 

Admins can manage their team’s access entirely from the Account Admin portal

The Account Admin Portal enables organizations to manage their team access conveniently from one place. You can seamlessly invite new team members to your organization’s account, revoke access instantaneously, view all team members and more. 

Workspaces now offer a more flexible way for large and scaling teams to work and manage contributors

In Drawboard Projects, at a glance users can now understand which workspaces are owned by your organization and which have been shared with you by someone from another organization. Users can also easily find the projects that have been opened most recently in Recents to give you faster access to Projects that are most relevant to what is being worked on.

To manage project access at scale, admins can control permissions at the workspace level, this is in addition to the ability to add new users via the Account Admin Portal. This capability offers organizations the flexibility to give and revoke access and change team and external stakeholder permissions across multiple projects at once.

Additionally, admins can easily switch Project permissions between public and private. With these settings, project, workspace and organization admins have more flexibility over how they give and revoke project access. For example, you can now invite people to a workspace, and give them a workspace-wide role that applies to all public projects in the workspace. They'll automatically have access to any public projects in the workspace with no further steps required.

Drawboard PDF has also released a host of capabilities designed to streamline the way AEC professionals work;

  • Improving revision and review processes 
  • Optimizing team coordination

Save and store annotations with Markup Library

Markup Library lets users save engineering symbols, stamps, or any markups that you use regularly for use later or across multiple documents. Users can add what they need and access them any time, on any document and any device.

Markup Library is available to all Drawboard PDF Pro Plus and Pro Unlimited users on the Windows app and is coming soon to Drawboard Projects.

Snap your annotations to…

With Snapping, your annotations ‘snap’ into place to help guide you in placing markups more accurately, and ultimately speed up your work. With annotations snapping, you can easily connect your markups, align them, rotate them to common angles, or enlarge them to scale. 

With content snapping, you can work with more precision on embedded PDF content like site plans or technical drawings.

Content snapping makes it easier for anyone reviewing or checking designs to:

  • Take accurate length and area measurements on technical drawings. With content snapping your cursor snaps to embedded content on-page like the edge of a floor plan or the perimeter of an object, ensuring you don’t need to rely on how you place the line to start measure by hand, but be confident that it’s ‘snapped’ to the vector as it’s drawn on the PDF.
  • Add a callout pointer to a section of a drawing with precision. Make sure that anyone collaborating with you has total clarity over what you’re drawing attention to. Reduce confusion between contributors and speed up your workflows.
  • Add lines and shapes onto drawings with precision 

and more.

You can easily toggle snapping on and off to suit the way you work.

Annotations snapping is available to all Drawboard PDF users on iOS, Mac, Windows, web and Android. Content snapping is available to Pro plus and Pro Unlimited users on the web app.

View designs or drawings side-by-side with Multi-window

Compare drawing revisions or markups on two different drawings or documents at the same time. With Multi-window, you can not only view multiple PDFs at the same time, you can also access your entire toolset to mark up on either document at the same time. That’s two workspaces for the price of one!

Multi-window view is available to all Pro Plus and Pro Unlimited Drawboard PDF users on the Windows app.

Merge, split and drag-and-drop pages to reorganize PDFs more easily with Doc Builder

Easily manipulate PDF pages with a clear birds-eye view on a color-coded interface. Doc Builder is designed to give you the freedom to reorganize pages within and across PDFs.

You can:

  • Merge documents
  • Split PDFs and extract individual pages
  • Rearrange pages using drag-and-drop
  • Duplicate individual PDF pages or multiple pages at once
  • Delete multiple pages at the same time
  • Insert blank or template paper anywhere in your document

and more.

The ability to merge, split and reorganize PDFs with Doc Builder is available to all Drawboard PDF Pro Plus and Pro Unlimited users on the Windows app.

Organize your drawings and documents with tags

With tags, you can organize and categorize your drawings and documents in a way that suits you and your team. Categorize your docs into work and home, team and individual projects, assign work to team members or teams, and so much more. And unlike folders, a document can have as many tags as you like!

The ability to tag cloud documents is available to all Drawboard PDF users in the Windows, iOS and Mac apps.
