S-03 How it works

Two sets in, one change list out.

Sheetshift does what a careful site engineer does with two issues of a set: lines the sheets up, compares them, reads what changed, and writes it down. Then it gives your team the list.

Two sheets

The old sheet stays put. The new sheet slides over it, and the changes stand up as pins.

This is sheet S.4 of the Gardner River High Bridge case study. Red outlines are where the old sheet differs, blue outlines where the new one does. A lime pin is a change outside every cloud found.

S-03.1 Four steps

What happens, in order.

01

Bring both sets

Upload the old and the new drawing set as PDFs. Sheetshift tells you what it found: pages, sheets and the title box on each.

71 old sheets and 74 new sheets checked

02

Sheets are paired

Each new sheet is matched to its old version, also when it was renamed. New sheets and dropped sheets are listed.

7 pairs made, 64 old sheets not re-issued

03

Changes are found and explained

Lines, shapes and words are compared on each pair. Sheetshift AI writes what changed in plain words and says which work packages it may affect.

46 changes found, 9 inside a cloud

04

Your team decides

One change list: assign, decide, ask the designer, and let an engineer sign off. Export it or share a link.
