Step by step

How to complete upload drawing

  1. 01

    Open the panel

    Click New drawing. You can also use +Nuevo plano at the end of each folder, which uploads straight into that folder.

    Step 1: Open the panel
  2. 02

    Choose the files

    Drag or select up to 25 PDFs per import. DWG and DXF are uploaded one at a time; multiple upload only accepts PDF.

    Step 2: Choose the files
  3. 03

    Review the files

    Under Archivos seleccionados (Selected files) you see each file and its status. Remove one with the X or add more with + Agregar PDFs. With a single file, fill in the drawing name.

    Step 3: Review the files
  4. 04

    Choose the folder

    Under Organización de los planos choose No folder, New folder or Existing folder. The folder is created or assigned only when you save the title block zone.

    Step 4: Choose the folder
  5. 05

    Upload

    Click Subir (Upload). If a file fails, the button stays disabled until you retry or remove it.

    Step 5: Upload
  6. 06

    Continue with the pages

    When the upload finishes you choose which pages to convert and where to read the sheet number (see the next guide). A DWG or DXF is created right away, without that step.

    Step 6: Continue with the pages

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

I closed the panel halfway, did I lose everything?+

No: with Close and continue later the import is saved and processing keeps going in the background. Cancel import, instead, discards the selection; the PDF stays in Files.

A file fails to upload.+

It is marked with an error and the rest continue. Retry only the failed ones.

Where is the original PDF kept?+

In the project's Files. It is also used to reprocess the drawing.
