What should the working register show?
Illustrative example. Use the actual source file, project CAD standard and receiving document requirements.
| Topic | Evidence or action | Owner |
|---|---|---|
| Source history | Original revision and date | Input drawing |
| Conversion | Operator, date and method | Conversion record |
| Review | Checker comments and fixes | QA log |
| Issue | Receiving status and approval | Document control |
What does the source support?
ISO 19650-1 distinguishes information management processes from the technical act of editing a file. The project information requirements control the status change.
What remains open for review?
Conversion does not certify design intent, field accuracy or engineering compliance. The responsible project team must approve the final drawing status.
Common questions
What else should the bid team know?
Does conversion create an approved design?
No. It creates a CAD deliverable from supplied source information for review.
Can missing geometry be guessed?
No. Mark uncertain content and request source confirmation.
Who approves the engineering content?
The responsible project engineer and registered engineer on the job.
