Drawing Export

Tell Adelphos which sheets to export and it finds the project folder, names the PDFs to your convention, runs the batch export, and creates the issued folder structure — with optional PDF-24 merge and revision tracking built in.

Before you start

• Sheets exist in the model with views placed
• Project folder is accessible (Adelphos detects it automatically)
• PDF-24 installed if you want merged/compressed PDFs (optional — skipped if not present)

How it flows

You ask to export — "export the drainage drawings to PDF" or "issue all sheets for Rev P03".

Adelphos opens the Drawing Exporter, detects your project folder and checks for an existing issued folder. If it's the first export, it creates the folder structure: PDF, DWG and Schedules subfolders dated to today.

It reads all sheets and their parameters — number, name, revision, drawn by, checked by. You see the list and confirm which sheets to export, or filter by discipline or revision.

Naming follows your convention using tokens from sheet data: {SheetNumber}-{SheetName}-Rev{RevisionNumber}. Custom naming patterns can be saved as configurations for reuse.

Adelphos runs the batch export. If PDF-24 is installed, individual sheets are merged into a single combined PDF and compressed. You get a report: how many exported, file sizes, any failures, and the issued folder opens in Explorer.
