Download or export marked-up drawings

After a drawing review, Nomic shows the source pages with markups overlaid. Review the issues first, then download a marked-up PDF to share with the team, archive, or open in Bluebeam.

Export from the review

  1. Open the completed drawing review.
  2. Click Export in the top-right of the review.
  3. Choose what to include:
    • Marked-up drawings — the source PDF with annotations flattened in.
    • Issue table — a separate CSV or PDF of findings.
  4. Click Download.

What's in the marked-up PDF today

  • All findings as flattened annotations (text + leader lines) on each affected page.
  • The page numbering of the original drawing set is preserved.

Choose the right PDF viewer

Most PDF viewers can open the exported file, but construction-focused PDF tools usually give the best review experience. If a browser viewer, macOS Preview, or another lightweight viewer displays markups oddly, try opening the PDF in Bluebeam, PDF-XChange, Adobe Acrobat, or the PDF reviewer your team already uses.

If the file still looks wrong in a full PDF editor, send Nomic Support the exported PDF, the original review link, and the viewer name/version so we can reproduce it.

What's not in it yet

  • Editable comments. Markups are flattened on export — they're great for sharing but they're not editable Bluebeam comments. If you need editable markups, copy the comment text from the issue table.
  • Source citations. The PDF includes the page reference; full source links remain inside Nomic.

Tips

  • Review before export. Accept useful findings and reject false positives before the PDF becomes part of your review process.
  • Share the Nomic review link with internal reviewers first — they can drill into citations and source pages without round-tripping a PDF.
  • Use the issue table CSV for tracking. It's the right input for your existing issue-tracking process (Excel, Smartsheet, your QA tool of choice).
  • Re-run after fixes — Nomic versions runs, so you can compare what changed between the initial review and the resubmittal.
