How To...  
   
Post & Manage Jobs:  
  When you give your project to Accent Imaging, we scan your drawings & specs, index the files and upload to PlanScope. You also have the option of uploading drawings yourself right from your office or any computer that has a web browser. Once posted, PlanScope is like a virtual filing cabinet where the project files are stored...  
 
 
  ...and depending on your level of access you can:

 View project info
View topics and notes
Send email to team members
Edit project & permissions
View and create markups
Use measurement tools
Download files    
 
 

After selecting a project, you will enter the folder tree view which allows you to order selected plan sets and/or specs.

After clicking on a particular plan set, you will see thumbnail views of all the documents in the set. This view enables you to move files, upload and download files, view event history and check for the existence of markups.

Invite Users:  
 

From the home page (folder tree view) of your project, click the "edit" button in the upper right hand corner. Then click on the "users" button. To add a user simply enter their name and e-mail address, set the permissions and save.

The new user will immediately receive a computer generated password and will be asked to create their own password. If you want to add a user that is already a member of PlanScope you can simply click on the users name that is located in the members list then set their permissions and click save.

 
   
   
View & Markup Documents:  
  Viewer and markup tools included with PlanScope allow you to review, measure and mark CAD files, images, and documents regardless of format and without changing the original file. All markups exist as separate, non-destructive XML files, giving you the capability to burn in/ publish markups and redactions to PDF, TIFF, DWF, and CSF formats later.

To use the viewer, select one of the document in the file thumbnail view to open it in a special ActiveX viewer. A toolbar will appear above this tool containing viewer functions. To see additional markup functions and begin creating a new markup file, click the icon to open the markup toolbar.
