Solutions · Drawing set management

How do you turn past drawing sets into a digital stick set library?

Artifact manages every drawing set your firm has issued as a digital stick set library you open in the browser. Every sheet and view is hyperlinked: click a callout to jump to the referenced detail, search the text on any sheet, mark up and measure in place, and find projects on a map, all without opening Revit or digging through PDFs.

What is a digital stick set library?

It’s the plan rack of reference sets, rebuilt for the browser: every drawing set your firm has issued, in one place, searchable, and a click away.

  • Sets come from your Revit models or from PDF drawing sets.
  • Connect Autodesk Forma, BIM 360, or any cloud storage your firm uses, or upload straight from a local drive.
  • Anyone on the team can open a set, without Revit and without downloading large files.

Are the sheets and views hyperlinked?

Yes, all of them. You navigate the way you follow callouts on paper, only instantly: click a section or detail callout, and the Project Viewer opens the referenced detail on its sheet.

Can you search the text on a sheet?

Yes. Artifact captures the text annotations on each sheet, so you can find any note, keynote, or reference on it.

  • To search across every project at once, use Artifact Find, then open the results in the Project Viewer.

Can you mark up and measure sheets?

Yes, right in the viewer. Markups stay with the sheet and show who made them, and the measure tool takes distances off sheets and details.

  • Use markups for QA/QC and standards review without exporting a PDF.
  • Measure without printing to scale.

How do you find a project when you can’t remember its name?

Use the Projects Map. Every project is plotted by location; draw a region, and the list narrows to the projects inside it.

Questions about drawing set management

A stick set is a full set of a project’s drawings, traditionally clamped to a stick and hung on a plan rack for the office to reference. A digital stick set library keeps those sets online, searchable, and hyperlinked, so the whole firm can use them.
No. The Project Viewer runs in your browser, so anyone on the team can open a set.
Yes. PDF drawing sets sit alongside sets harvested from Revit, so projects that only exist as PDFs join the same library.
Anywhere your firm keeps them: Autodesk Forma, BIM 360, or other cloud storage. You can also upload sets to Artifact straight from a local drive.
