Issues in Design Collaboration

Use Design Collaboration to view or create issues on your team's 2D sheets and documents, 3D views, or the project model, from either your Team Space in the Home tab, or in the context of a consumed package. See the Document Management help to learn more about issues in general.

Note: Issues are supported for the primary Design Collaboration file types; 2D and 3D RVT and DWG files, and 3D IFC files. Issues can't be created on PDFs in Design Collaboration.

Teams use issues to identify and communicate areas of concern or required improvements related to the project documents. Using the Issues tab in Design Collaboration, you can create issues directly on your team's work, or work shared with you.

Issues created in Design Collaboration can be viewed in the Issues tab in Document Management, and you can also view issues created in Document Management in Design Collaboration.

Issues in Design Collaboration are associated with either work-in-progress (WIP) sheets and views, the project model, or the contents of a consumed package. When you access the Issues tab in Design Collaboration, you can view and edit issue details, and see the issue location in the sheet or view using the viewer. The Content Browser also indicates all sheets or views that have associated issues, helping you to quickly identify all relevant issues. See the Manage Issues in Design Collaboration topic to learn more.

The visibility of issues for your team depends on the shared status of the sheet or view, and the originator of the issue. See the Public versus Private Issues section of the help for more information.
