All, I am curious how people are dealing with issuing letter or tabloid size sketches as bulletins during the construction administration of a project. One thought I had was that we could make a letter size dwf of the individual revisions and then hopefully there is an easy way to add a sketch border in Autodesk Design Review. Any suggestions?

I haven't found a great way to do this either. What I have been doing is making actual sheets with 8.5x11 and 11x17 supplemental drawing titleblocks. Make your revisions and cloud it, Duplicate with Detailing the view, crop down to fit the supplemental drawing and place it on the sheet. This way the sheet with the revision will show the revision if reissued later. Downside is that the annotation is static while the model is not, so if you look back at a supplemental in your file, it can get a little confusing. I keep a PDF record for referencing later exactly what was issued. Also, remember to filter out those sheets from the Drawing List. I number mine "SUPP01", "SUPP02", etc and filter to not show Sheets starting with "SUPP". "Imperfect solution" is being generous.

Unchecking "Appears in Drawing List" works too, but you have to do it every time and invariably someone forgets. Setting a single filter is easier.

Create a phase called "Construction Administration", duplicate the plan you wish to revise and place it in this phase. Now you can make your revisions and issue you addendums, Revisions and Supplemental Drawings without altering the CD set. Create a new phase filter called "Construction Administration" and adjust your overrides as desired, then assign this phase filter to your revision view. One last note, be sure to uncheck "Appears in drawing list" for your sheets like bauhaus1919 stated earlier, unless you want your revision sheets to appear in the drawing list.

I am getting close to what I want to do, but still am missing something. I like keeping track of all of the revisions on the original full sheet, but then publish an 8.5x11 of the individual revisions. I tried publishing a dwf of just a part of a sheet and it does not work well because the only way to print part of a sheet is to enter in x and y offset coordinates; you cannot specify a window like in acad. So, I installed the dwf printer and that allows you to make a dwf of just the current visible portion of the sheet. I then made a letter size border and made that into a Catalog in Design review. So, I can open the individual letter size dwf files and slap them on a border. The only problem is that I want to be able to edit some of the text on the border such as the sketch number and bulletin number, but I cannot do this. I figured I could just type the text in inside of Design review, but the text is masked by the border and I cannot seem to adjust the view order. Sigh.

If I am understanding you correctly, you need a 8.5x11 sketch of certain areas, and you need the sketch to not change even if the model eventually does (for documentation purposes). If so, check out the Freeze Drawings extension at http://www.extensions4revit.com/n/e4r/856/20. What it does is export a view to a cad format then import it back into Revit and puts it in a new drafting view. You now have a drafting view that you can put on a 8.5x11 sheet, and it will not change. If you can't get the extension (I don't know if it works with Building, or if it's just for Structure) you can manually duplicate the process.
