3. The result

A separate demonstration

The guide expects three P01 sheets in the first issue. The pictured 13-sheet A1 library register is a separate project, not this output.

This A1 library register differs from the guide’s three-sheet A3 boathouse example.

What to check in the practice result

Drawings: 3 accepted, each read as A3 with its sheet number (HB-100, HB-101, HB-201), title, revision P01, date 12.10.2026 and status PRELIMINARY. Review: 3/3 sheets included, 0 errors, 0 decisions, 0 warnings. The dialog asks “Record HB-TR-001?”. The register lists the three sheets at P01 under HB-TR-001. Downloads: HB-26_drawing-register_<today>.csv (Sheet number, Title, Current revision, one column per issue), HB-26_HB-TR-001.pdf (the transmittal) and HB-26.vidrregister.json (the project file).

Before you buy
