ACONEX PROCEDURE - UPLOADING DRAWINGS FOR THE FIRST TIME

1. Under the Documents Tab Select MULTIPLE FILE UPLOAD.

Note: Either ZIP FILE UPLOAD or MULTI FILE UPLOAD can be used however I have found the latter
gets better results as you can ensure all files are selected which did not always happen with Zip File.

2. Select all Drawings, Reports and Models from the DT folder.

Note: For an IFC Issue the Fitting Drawings and the NC & DXF Files are NOT required to be uploaded
to Aconex.

3. DOUBLE CHECK that the number of Files in the DT equal the number you have uploaded and none
have failed.

4. Once you have added ALL Files follow next step and
VIEW IN TEMPORARY FILES.

5. ACONEX will populate a lot of the Information itself however as you will see below not ALL fields

8. Complete the remaining fields for all remaining individual files as required.

Note: PM’s are to advise on the correct Inputs for these Fields but pulldowns to be used where
possible eg. Reports should be assigned “REPORT” under the Type Field etc

EXAMPLES OF INPUT REQUIREMENTS

1. Reports to Accurately describe what it is eg “ISSUED DRAWING LIST”

2. Differentiate between MARKING PLANS and DETAILS

3. As the .ifc and BimSight MODELS are updated every Transmittal and the File Name does not
include the Transmittal Number use the DT-Number as Revision (eg. DT-006 = Rev 006)

4. Models should also have the Status FOR INFORMATION

9. Once you have checked all fields are correctly filled in press SUBMIT to Upload the files to the
Drawing Register.
