Note
Custom fields are not included in the metadata copy from the upstream project to the downstream project.
Connect drawing metadata can not be modified by the downstream project.
Is markup supported?
Markups made in sending project drawings are not copied to the drawings in the receiving project. However, as the receiving project, you can add additional markups to the connected drawings. These markups will remain in your project and will not be copied or published back to the sending project. Markups added by the receiving project on a connected drawing are retained when a new version of the drawing is added by the sending project.
What happens when the Sending Project deletes a Drawing or Drawing Area?
If the sending project deletes a drawing, the deleted drawing will be removed from the Drawings log page in the receiving company. Drawing areas will remain but without the deleted drawing. Drawing Admins in the receiving project can view deleted drawings in the 'Deleted Drawing Revisions' report in the receiving project’s Drawings tool.
Can I choose which Drawings & Drawing Areas get Copied to the Receiving Project?
No. All published drawings and drawing areas in the project are copied and kept in sync with the sending project.
How Long Does it Take For Drawings to Copy?
Copying drawings to the receiving project can take up to one hour. You will receive an email notification once the drawings have been successfully copied and are ready to review and publish.
Can I review connected Drawings and Revisions before publishing them in my project for my team to access?
Yes, when drawings and revisions are copied to your receiving project, they are an unpublished state. A user with ‘Admin’ permissions on the Drawings tool can review the drawings before publishing them to your team.
Who is notified when drawings are copied?
You can select who is notified when unpublished drawings are copied, and ready to be reviewed and published to your project. Notifications are managed in the Settings of the Drawings tool. See Configure Advanced Settings: Drawings.
Can I distinguish between my drawings and connected drawings?
Yes. You will see a connected icon indicating which drawings have been copied from the sending project.
Will my field team be able to see connected drawings on the Procore mobile app?
Yes. The mobile app shows the connected drawings and will have the connected icon to distinguish them.
Can I add Drawings to a Connected Drawing Area?
No, you cannot add your drawings to a connected Drawing Area. However, you may add your own Drawing Areas and drawings to any 'unconnected' Drawing Area in your account. These will not sync to the sending project.
Can I delete connected drawings from a receiving project?
No. At this time connected drawings can't be deleted from a receiving project.
