Bentley Systems, Inc. has announced the release of ProjectWise Dynamic Plot V8i, a innovative software service that creates a link between paper plots and digital models, shrinking the time required to sync written comments and digital data seconds, and sustaining and extending the value of project information plotted to paper. With paper plots and digital models always in sync, markup and review workflows become error-free, mitigating project risk, according to the company. Using the publishing capabilities of ProjectWise InterPlot, the software adds a pattern of dots to a drawing as it is plotted. Because this pattern carries with it embedded provenance, it establishes a link between the paper drawing and the model. The markups are applied to the plot as usual, but with a digital pen, and they are simultaneously captured and stored in memory. Later, the markups are transferred to the ProjectWise managed environment for automatic synchronization and association with the model. With ProjectWise Dynamic Plot, accurate paper copies of the revised digital drawings can be automatically created using standard color printers or plotters. The portable and durable digital pen works for up to seven days on a single charge and can store up to 50 pages of content. The ProjectWise Dynamic Plot workflow also provides automatic digital backup for all reviewer markups. At the same time, it establishes a markup audit trail for management accountability.
