Drawing issue register builderfor every drawing you send out
TimeBinder adds a layer of protection against AI and human fraud and disputes. Add each issue with its drawing number, revision, date, who got it, what for and any AI use. You get a register in order, the latest issue of each drawing and checks for gaps.
Everything you type stays on this page. The register is built from what you type. This page does not read drawing files and does not replace the records your contract or project standard asks for. It is not professional or legal advice.
Log your drawing issues
Add each issue and see the register, the latest issue of each drawing and anything that looks off. Use the made-up example to see how it works. Nothing you type is sent to TimeBinder.
Everything you type stays on this page. Nothing is sent anywhere or tied to your name.
Log each drawing issue with its revision, date, recipient and any AI use
Add each issue with its drawing number, revision, date, who got it and what for. You get a register in drawing and date order, the latest issue of each drawing, and checks for gaps. It does not read drawing files.
How do I keep a record of which drawing revision went to whom? The short answer
Keep a register with one line per issue: drawing number, title, revision, date issued, who received it and what it was for (information, comment, approval or permit, tender, construction, or superseded). Add whether an AI tool was used on that drawing, because clients and councils increasingly ask. When a dispute starts over which version someone relied on, a dated register and the exact files behind each line are what you reach for.
A TimeBind of each issued file (the exact PDF or model export) can show that file existed no later than a recorded time and still matches. It does not show that the drawing is right or who approved it.
Why this came up in November 2026
Design teams are using AI in drawings and renders. Counts below were read on 13 November 2026 (Australia/Brisbane) unless the text says another date. Tim Fairley’s “Claude Design for Construction – 5 Practical Use Cases”, uploaded on 8 November 2026, showed 13,411 views. VizAcademy UK’s “When a VIP Client Scraps the Entire 3D Design 2 Days Before Launch”, uploaded on 6 November 2026, showed 3,996 views, and Chaos’s “Enscape AI Workflow: From Sketch to Client-Ready Presentation”, uploaded on 9 November 2026, showed 3,204 views. Direct searches for drawing registers returned only small numbers, tens to about 150 views. Demand for this exact tool is modest, and it is a practical fit more than a trend. This page does not check the claims in any of these videos.
The reason to log AI use per drawing is simple: it is easier to record it when you issue than to reconstruct it months later.

What this tool does and does not do
The honest job of this page is to keep a tidy, dated register and show gaps. See also the glossary entries for existed no later than and SHA-256.
| Part | What it does | What it does not do |
|---|---|---|
| Register | Sorts issues by drawing number and date and puts undated issues last for each drawing. | Read drawing files or check a revision letter against a file. |
| Latest issue | Shows the last dated issue of each drawing number. | Know which version is current in fact. |
| Gaps and AI use | Flags missing dates, recipients and numbers, repeated revision letters, and AI use on drawings issued for approval, tender or construction. | Say what you must tell a client or council. |
| A TimeBind of a file you already hold | Records that an exact file existed no later than a recorded time and still matches, using a SHA-256 fingerprint made in your browser. The file stays on your device. | Show that a drawing is correct, approved or who made it. |
If you may need to show what you issued later
For each issue on the register:
- Find the exact file you sent, as sent: the PDF or the model export.
- Make a TimeBind of each exact file you already hold. The fingerprint is made in your browser and the file stays on your device. You can later download a Proof of Time Certificate.
- Keep the register, the issued files and the certificates together, with the date of each issue.
A TimeBind shows the exact file existed no later than the recorded time and still matches. It does not show that the drawing is right.
First Pooled TimeBind free, no card, then from US$5. An ASAP TimeBind is US$15.
What a TimeBind shows, and what it does not. It shows that an exact file existed no later than a recorded time and that a copy shown later still matches its fingerprint. It does not show who made the file, who owns it, that its contents are true, or whether AI was used to make or edit it. This is general information, not legal advice.
Drawing issue register builder: FAQ
Does this replace my project’s document control system?
No. Your contract or project standard decides what records you keep. This is a simple register you can use alone or alongside.
Why record AI use per drawing?
It is easier to note it when you issue than to reconstruct it later, and some clients and councils ask. The tool flags AI use on drawings issued for approval, tender or construction.
Does the tool read my drawing files?
No. It only uses what you type and does not open files.
How does it work out the latest issue?
It takes the last dated entry for each drawing number. Undated entries are listed last, so fix any missing dates first.
Can a TimeBind date my old files?
No. A TimeBind records the time you make it. For an old file it shows the exact file existed no later than that time, not before it.
Is anything I type or tick sent to TimeBinder?
No. This page runs in your browser. What you type stays on the page.
