Project teams live in drawings, plans, schematics, and submittal documents. But too often, the information that matters most—issues, equipment details, and field coordination—gets separated from the documents where the work is actually happening.
That is why we built Issue Pins and PDF Markups in Bluerithm.
This new feature makes it easier to connect issues, equipment, and project work directly to PDFs such as floor plans, specifications, schematics, diagrams, and other construction documents. Instead of switching back and forth between drawings and issue logs, your team can now work in context, right where the problem exists.
Keep Issues Connected to the Drawing
With the new PDF Markup Tool, you can place issue pins directly on a PDF so that they are linked to an exact location on a drawing.
That means teams can now:
- Link issues to floor plans, schematics, specifications, and diagrams
- Create new issues directly from a drawing
- Interact with the issue from the pin location on the PDF
- Keep issue tracking tied to the visual context of the work
This makes it much easier for project teams, contractors, and commissioning providers to understand exactly where an issue exists and what needs attention.
Connect Issues to Equipment and at the Project Level
Issue Pins and PDF Markups do more than just mark up a document.
You can also connect issues to specific equipment and attach issues at the project level when needed. This gives your team a clearer, more organized way to manage field observations, deficiencies, and follow-up actions across the project.
Whether an issue belongs to a particular piece of equipment or should be tracked more generally at the project level, Bluerithm gives you the flexibility to capture it the right way.
Use the Same Issue Workflow You Already Know
One of the best parts of this feature is that it works with the issue process your team already uses in Bluerithm.
You can still record issues just like you normally do. The difference is that now those issues can also live visually on the drawing, creating a much stronger connection between the issue log and the project documents.
In other words, you are not learning a separate tool or maintaining a second workflow. You are simply adding a more intuitive, visual layer to the process.
Improve Clarity for Everyone on the Project
Construction and commissioning projects involve constant communication across teams. A written issue description is useful, but a pin on the exact drawing location adds immediate clarity.
With Issue Pins and PDF Markups, teams can quickly see:
- where the issue is located
- what equipment it relates to
- how it ties back to project documentation
- what needs to be resolved
This helps reduce ambiguity, speed up coordination, and improve accountability across the project team.
A Better Way to Work in Context
Bluerithm is built to help teams manage commissioning, quality processes, and project workflows in a more connected way. Issue Pins and PDF Markups extend that vision by bringing drawings and issue management together.
Instead of treating PDFs as static reference files, you can now turn them into active working documents inside Bluerithm.
The result is a more visual, more connected, and more efficient way to manage issues, equipment, and project work.
Now Available in Bluerithm
With Issue Pins and PDF Markups, your team can:
- link issues, equipment, and work to PDFs
- create issues directly on drawings
- interact with issues from pinned locations
- connect specific equipment on PDFs
- attach issues at the project level when appropriate
It is a simple upgrade that can make a big difference in how teams document, coordinate, and resolve issues in the field.
