Keeping project documents organized is a big part of keeping work moving. Lynn Imaging has updated the Plans, Specifications and Addenda areas in eComm with clearer upload steps and more flexible ways to group, review and manage files. Watch the video below for a walkthrough, then read on for a closer look at what has changed.

Organize plans around the project

Plan Sets let teams create independent groups of drawings within one project. They are especially useful when a project includes multiple buildings or scopes that may use the same plan numbers. For example, an elementary school and a junior/senior high school can each have a separate A101 floor plan, with its own revisions. Projects that do not need this separation can continue using the default Plan Set.

Within each Plan Set, Volumes can group drawing packages delivered or organized in multiple parts. Teams can also use construction Disciplines, such as Architectural, Structural, Civil, Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing, along with optional project-specific Tags.

Upload and review plans in fewer steps

The redesigned Plan upload workflow supports multiple PDF files at once, including drag-and-drop selection. eComm can identify Plan Numbers and Plan Names from uploaded drawings; users can review and correct that information before the Plans are added to the project. During the same workflow, users can assign Plan Sets, Volumes, Disciplines and Tags, and make bulk changes across selected Plans.

Plans are sorted using the Index Page. Users can change the sort order for review and return to the established drawing order with Reset Sort Order. A new Releases area records upload and publishing activity, including the associated version, Plan count and status. From there, users can continue an upload that is ready for review or open Plans from a published Release.

Specifications and Addenda get a guided workflow

The Specifications area now supports multiple PDF uploads and organization by Volumes, making it easier to manage project manuals delivered as Volume 1, Volume 2, Volume 3 and beyond. The guided workflow walks users through file selection, document review and upload completion.

Addenda has a consistent updated experience, too. Teams can upload multiple Addenda PDFs in one workflow and use Volumes when additional grouping is helpful.

A clearer experience across document uploads

Across Plans, Specifications and Addenda, the updated workflow adds clearer feedback when files are dropped, more informative processing messages for larger PDFs, and easier navigation between upload steps. For a large file, keep the browser window open until eComm finishes preparing the PDF.

Archived documents remain available in the Archive Bin. Breadcrumbs add context as users move through Plan Sets, Volumes, Releases and document views. Project administrators can manage Plan Sets, Volumes, Disciplines and Tags where those options apply.

Getting started

Most projects do not need special setup. Continue with the default Plan Set for a standard drawing project, and add Plan Sets when separate buildings or scopes may contain duplicate Plan Numbers. Create Volumes when documents need to be divided into groups. During plan uploads, review the recognized Plan Numbers and Names, then use Disciplines, Tags and bulk assignment whenever they make a package easier to manage.

For 80 years, Lynn Imaging has helped architecture, engineering, and construction teams bring capital projects to life. We’re known for print and hardware, but our work goes well beyond the page. You may know Lynn Imaging for one thing, but there’s more to discover.

Lynn Imaging brings together AEC software solutions, such as eComm and Planroom Network, large-format printing, hardware, and creative branding from our Monster Color division in one connected ecosystem. From planning and project collaboration to construction documents and large-scale branded materials, our team helps customers find the tools and support they need to keep work moving. We manage your office technology. You focus on growing your business.

That evolution has been part of Lynn Imaging’s story from the beginning. What started as a blueprint supply company in Lexington in 1946 has grown alongside the industries we serve. As technology changed the way projects are planned, communicated, and built, we continued to expand our capabilities—from digital planrooms and construction information management to large-format graphics, office equipment, and creative branding.

Today, that experience gives our customers something valuable: one partner who understands how the pieces fit together. Instead of managing multiple vendors for printing, equipment, software, graphics, and project information, businesses can turn to one team with the knowledge and resources to help simplify the process. Our goal isn’t simply to provide another product or service. It’s to help eliminate headaches, streamline workflows, and give our customers more time to focus on their work.

AEC offices depend on accurate plans, clear documentation, and reliable printing to keep projects moving forward. But when equipment breaks down, supplies run out, or large format prints take longer than expected, small issues can quickly turn into costly delays. 

Managing printers, plotters, and supplies internally can quietly eat up time. That is why many architecture and engineering firms turn to trusted partners like Lynn Imaging to help manage their printing environment and keep projects on track.

With managed print services, your office has a team monitoring equipment and supplies. Printers and plotters are serviced regularly, supplies are replaced before they run out, and small issues are handled before they become bigger problems. Instead of stopping work to troubleshoot equipment, your team can stay focused on the projects at hand.

When printers and plotters work the way they should, projects move faster, and teams avoid unnecessary downtime. Managed print services help control printing costs, keep equipment running smoothly, and ensure the documents your team depends on are ready when needed.

Because when your printers run smoothly, your projects do too. Get in touch with our Lynn Imaging team today.

1. Disorganized project documents: Missing or outdated plans can quickly slow progress. Using centralized document management and consistent version control helps teams stay aligned. 
2. Slow bid distribution: When plans are difficult to access or updates are missed, bidding timelines suffer. Tools like the Lynn Imaging Planroom help distribute accurate information in real time to a pre-qualified list of contractors across a strong regional network.
3. Print and production delays: Late or incorrect plans, signage, or job-site materials can cause unnecessary downtime. Reliable local printing subject matter experts with fast turnaround helps keep projects ahead.
4. Poor communication between teams: Communication gaps often lead to missed details and stalled decisions. 
5. Too many disconnected vendors: Managing multiple vendors can slow decision-making. Working with one trusted partner for print, digital services, and project support simplifies workflows.

Lynn Imaging has helped Kentucky’s AEC community reduce delays by providing dependable support, practical tools, and local expertise for more than 80 years. Tools like the Lynn Imaging Online Planroom help teams share plans, manage updates, and keep bidding on track to avoid common delays. With the right partner in place, teams can stay on schedule and move projects forward with confidence. Lynn Imaging’s products and services are built for builders who cannot afford delays.
