Saving, exporting and sharing

Getting the work out of the app and in front of the client.

Guided walkthrough

See this in the real app, not a recording

The guided tour opens a real architect’s sheet in the actual workspace and walks you through it — the same buttons you will be pressing, highlighted one at a time. Nothing to install, and you can stop it at any point and keep the drawing.

Start the guided tour
The saved design produces the report view, the PDF printed from it and the client share link — all three render the same document.Your designsaved with ⌘SPrinted PDFReport → Print orSave as PDFShare linkOpens in a browser,nothing to installReport viewThe same document,on screenOne document — if it is right in Report, it is right in all three.And no pricing on any of them: that lives in your quote, not the drawing set.
Three doors to one document.

  1. Save

    ⌘S, or the save icon in the header — it turns green when the project is stored. Projects live in your account, so signing in on another machine opens the same drawing.

  2. History

    Undo is ⌘Z and redo is ⌘⇧Z (or the arrows in the tool pill). The canvas keeps the last 50 steps of this session — the oldest drops off as you work — and ⋯ → History lists those same 50 so you can jump straight to one. Nothing older than that is kept, and a reload starts the list again, so save a version you might want back.

  3. Export

    ⋯ → Export builds the plan as title-blocked PDF sheets — the open sheet, or every sheet of a multi-page set — or as a PNG or JPG, with the symbol legend and general notes, and can save the editable .simprint project file. It is the drawing, not the whole document: the schedules, the rack and the bill of materials live in the Report view.

  4. Share a link

    ⋯ → Share produces a link to the client-facing report. It opens in any browser with nothing to install and nothing to sign in to, and it shows the drawings and schedules — never your pricing.

  5. What the client sees

    The Report view is the same document the share link renders, and its Print or Save as PDF button is how that document becomes a file you can issue. If it looks right in Report, it is right in all three.

  6. Projects and folders

    The button beside the project name opens the projects drawer. Rename, file drawings into folders, and drag a PDF straight onto a folder to file it without opening it.
