Drawing Reference LinkingIn the construction industry it is very common that a floor pan drawing could reference many other drawings that contain relative information. It is common to link the floor plan to Detail, Elevation, and Section drawings.
The system makes navigating between these related drawings easier by creating links between the various documents that allows a user to navigate with a single click to the related drawings. |
Document Issue Links
Frequently multiple documents are released together as part of a single change to the product. RFI’s, ASI’s, Change Orders are good examples of documents “Issued” as a package.
Frequently a user who is reviewing one document in the Issue, should review all of the other documents “Issued”. To make navigating to other documents in the Issue, the system allows links to be created between the document and the “Issue”. Easy Drawing Access and Updating! |
RFI LinkingWhen an RFI or other change document is released that affects a project document, the system allows the user to link it to all of the related drawings. Users can quickly see a list of all RFI’s related to a drawing. By clicking on any RFI in the list the user can view the entire RFI.

Document Linking Service Descriptions
RFI Linking
When an RFI is released it usually contains a list of documents affected by the changes on the RFI. The RFI Linking Service will create a link between the RFI document and all documents referenced in the RFI. This will allow a user viewing a drawing to see that there is an RFI related to the drawing. They will be able to click on a link and then view the RFI document and any related sketches or other documents.
Using RFI linking assures that your users will see the RFI's and Sketches related to each drawing.

Related Document Linking
Many drawings contains call outs that reference other detail, elevation, section, or other drawings. Locating and viewing the referenced drawings can be difficult and time consuming. Related Document Linking creates a link of any drawing that contains references that will allow a user to view the related drawings with one click.
Issue Linking
When a group of documents is released or issued together as part of an RFI/ASI or Bulletin it is important for users to see all of the documents included in the release. The Issue Linking service will create a link between each drawing and all of the other documents issued together. So not a user can quickly see other documents released with each drawing.
Other Linking Services
Some clients would like customized linking of documents. The DFS Link Services technicians are happy to accommodate any linking requirements and will provide the services for an hourly wage.
