Define Bid Packages

Contents

To keep track of all drawings and corresponding revisions issued by different contractors to bid on work during the design phase of the drawings process, you can define a bid package for each contractor and log the drawings by bid package in the Drawings log. You can modify this list if additional contractors submit drawings for bid. The bid packages you define are available in the drop-down list for the Bid Package field for your selection when logging drawings. You can also filter and sort by bid package.

To create a bid package:

1. Right-click on the top-level (All Projects) folder and choose Dictionaries, Drawings, Bid Packages. This opens the Bid Packages Dialog Box.
2. Click Add to open the Bid Packages Detail Dialog Box.
3. In the Bid Package field enter a name of up to 15 characters.
4. Enter a description.

   Note: Bid packages defined in the Bid Packages dialog box appear in all projects in the project group.

5. From the Move Below drop-down list, select the location below which you want to insert the definition.
6. Click Save and Close to save the new bid package code.
