Sharing an Autodesk Docs Drawing for Multi-user Markup
Share a URL of a drawing that is saved to Autodesk Docs so that collaborators within an Autodesk Docs project can add markups to a trace.
The sender shares the current Model or layout tab from AutoCAD on the web, and collaborators can create and publish markups in AutoCAD on the web using Autodesk Construction Cloud markup tools. Anyone in the Autodesk Docs project can add markups to the trace. They can't directly modify the drawing.
To Share a drawing for markups
- With the drawing open, click SHARE in the top-right above the drawing area.
- In the Share dialog, select Markup.
- Click Copy Link. This creates a new trace of the current Model or layout tab and saves the drawing.
- Share the URL with any collaborators who have access to the Autodesk Docs project.
About receiving a drawing
Recipients who have access to the Autodesk Docs project can open the URL and add markups to the shared trace. Publish markups so that other collaborators can see them in AutoCAD on the web or in Autodesk Docs.
The drawing itself is view-only. Collaborators who open the link can add markups to the current trace, but cannot add or modify any geometry in the drawing itself.
Other notes and best practices
Only published markups are visible to other collaborators. In the Toolbar, under Settings, choose if you want markups to automatically publish as you create them, or if they should remain unpublished until you manually publish them. You can publish or unpublish each markup individually, or publish all markups at once when you exit the drawing.
Markups published to a drawing will update in close to real time. However, to see any recent updates from collaborators, you'll need to refresh the page or re-open the drawing.
