05Questions

Asked before the first download.

Can I compare two revisions of a sheet?
Yes. Compare with an older version is free and lists what changed on a page. Sheet overlay, which lays one revision over the other, and set compare, which pairs a whole revised set by sheet number, are in Pro.
Does it handle scanned drawings?
OCR, which runs offline on your computer, makes a scanned set searchable (Office and up). Measuring works on any PDF once the scale is set.
Does it open DWG or Revit files?
No. Redpen works on PDFs. Print or export the drawings to PDF first.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Redpen is a desktop app for Windows and Mac. It opens and saves PDFs on your computer, and no AI feature reads them. Your account only tells the app which plan you are on.
