Create or Link Coordination Issues on a Drawing

Creating coordination issues directly on a 2D drawing allows you to link specific locations or markups to an issue. This provides your team with immediate visual context, making it an efficient way to communicate and resolve conflicts during the coordination process.

• Required User Permissions

• Additional Information:

  • Creating a new coordination issue automatically links it to the drawing markup. You can also manually link existing issues to pins, clouds, arrows, or text.

  • Once published, any user with Drawings tool permissions can see the markup. Procore also attaches a drawing snapshot to the coordination issue to show its exact location.

  • When linked to a coordination issue, the markup's color corresponds to the issue's current status:

    • Blue: Open or Released

    • Yellow: Ready for Review

    • Red: Elevated to an RFI

    • Gray: Closed

1. Navigate to the project's Drawings tool.

2. Find your drawing using one of these options:

   • From the Current Drawings tab, click the Drawing No. link to open it.

   • From the Drawing Sets tab, find the set, and click View. Then click Drawing No. to open it.

   Tip

   Don't see the Pins icon? If Pins isn't visible, another pin type (like Photos or Punch) might be active. Click that icon to expand the menu and then click Issues. See Mark Up a Drawing.

   • Drop a Pin for the Issue: Click the Pins icon in the toolbar. Click a location on the drawing to open a shortcut menu.

   • Link a Shape to the Issue: Select a standard toolbar option (for example, Cloud, Arrow, Text). Draw the shape in the desired location on the drawing. Then click the Paperclip icon in the popup toolbar and choose Coordination Issue. This opens a shortcut menu.

5. In the shortcut menu, choose Create New Coordination Issue to open a new issue in the side panel. You also have the option to choose Link to Existing Coordination Issue.

6. Complete the required form fields in the New Issue panel.
