This document details the evolution of ProSheets, a powerful Revit plugin, through its various version updates. From its initial release in version 1.0.0, ProSheets has consistently been enhanced with new features, improved performance, and critical bug fixes, aiming to streamline the export and printing workflows for Revit users. This log provides a comprehensive overview of the changes implemented across numerous versions, culminating in the latest release, V2.1.2.
Key Features and Enhancements Over Time
ProSheets began with core functionalities for exporting Revit projects to PDF, DGN, and DWG formats, allowing users to utilize custom parameters for advanced naming rules. Early versions focused on expanding these capabilities, introducing support for a wider range of export formats including DWF, NWC, IFC, and various image formats (JPEG, PNG, TIFF). Auto-detection of custom sheet sizes and language support were also prioritized, ensuring broader usability.
Significant advancements were made in user experience and file management. The introduction of the Licensing System for subscriptions in version 2.0.0 marked a shift towards a more robust commercial model. Enhancements in UI/UX have been a recurring theme, with numerous updates to improve the visual interface, usability, and user workflow. This includes features like modeless windows, resizable dialogs, automatic column width adjustments, and better visibility for edit functions.
File management and export customization have also seen continuous improvement. Users gained the ability to save export rules in profile settings, retry failed publishes, and utilize a wider array of environment variables for folder creation and file naming. The “Bind Image” feature for DWG exports, introduced in version 1.4.0, and the ability to combine different paper sizes and orientations into a single PDF document in version 1.2.4, are prime examples of ProSheets’ commitment to enhancing export flexibility.
IFC Export and Compatibility
The integration and refinement of IFC export capabilities have been a consistent focus. Version 1.2.1 introduced an option to export only elements visible in the view, while later versions added support for IFC4x3 and IFC-SG, and the ability to set IFC Category mapping. Bug fixes have addressed issues related to the project base point accuracy, linked files being unloaded, and conflicts with custom or advanced IFC settings not being stored correctly.
ProSheets has maintained compatibility with the latest Autodesk Revit releases. Notably, support for Revit 2022, 2023, 2024, and most recently, 2025 and 2026, has been incorporated through specific updates, ensuring users can leverage ProSheets with their current software versions.
Bug Fixes and Stability
A significant portion of each update cycle has been dedicated to fixing bugs and enhancing stability. Issues ranging from application crashes during offline use, incorrect paper size detection, problems with PDF combining, to incorrect file naming conventions have been systematically addressed. For instance, version 2.1.1 specifically resolved issues with rotations and translations of linked files when exporting to IFC, and crashes related to Revit 2026 exports. Bug fixes in version 2.1.2 address potential tool crashes for free users in offline scenarios and missing IFC export options.
Integration with PDF24 and Other Tools
ProSheets’ integration with PDF24 has been a key aspect of its functionality, particularly for PDF creation. Updates have included incorporating the latest versions of PDF24, such as v11.11.1 and v11.13.2, to improve performance and reliability. Silent installation options for PDF24 have also been enhanced to streamline user setup. Furthermore, specific bug fixes have addressed conflicts with other Autodesk products like Autodesk Forma.
Premium Features
It’s important to note that certain advanced features, such as keeping or turning off temporary hide/isolate, worksharing display, and reveal constraints modes during export, were introduced as beta features and are now part of a premium version of ProSheets. This indicates a tiered offering that caters to users with more specialized or intensive workflow requirements.
The continuous development and refinement of ProSheets, as evidenced by this update log, underscore its position as a valuable and evolving tool for Revit users seeking efficient and flexible export and printing solutions.
