Signing new copies of old drawing sets
Signing new copies of old drawing sets
(OP)
Occasionally I need to print out new sets of plans that have been previously issued and sign/seal them (contractor lost originals or other reasons). As the original sets may have been signed months ago, it seems like something is missing if I just sign with today's date. Should I add a line under the signature saying when the original seal was or something else to that effect? I certainly don't want to give the impression that I have updated the plans (especially if there has been a code change in the interim). What do other folks do in similar cases?

If we need to reprint sheets, we print the AutoCadd file. If someone else needs to print the file, we make a PDF or DWF file of each drawing and send them the PDF/DWF's to print.

a) you revised one of the sheets by hand and didn't tell the drafter to add the change to the cadd file
b) when your drafter plots the second time, someone has inadvertantly frozen a (critical) layer
c) when you plot the second time, someone has moved or renamed the xref files and they do not plot at all
d) or the worst of all, your drafter plots the wrong file. He probably grabs the pre-final submittal instead of the approved final one...
Best way is to scan your signed plans and replot from pdf.
