Cover sheets without busywork
Selecting a set of drawings auto-builds the cover sheet (numbers, revs, sheet counts, hashes). Add a note, choose a distribution list, and the transmittal is logged, stamped, and ready to send.

Acknowledgments you can prove
Every recipient gets their own access link. Acknowledgment is captured per person, with timestamp, IP, and identity. The transmittal status flips from Issued to Acknowledged automatically.
What you get
Status at a glance
Color-coded pills make Draft, Issued, and Acknowledged transmittals easy to scan in a long list.
Audit history
Every issue, view, and acknowledgment is logged in an immutable trail you can hand to an inspector.
Always linked
Open a drawing and instantly see every transmittal that included it — past and present.
Frequently asked questions
Can recipients acknowledge without a Piping.Tools account?
Yes. Each recipient gets a unique access link that lets them view the package and acknowledge it without creating an account. The acknowledgment is still tied to their email and timestamped.
Can I re-issue a transmittal when a drawing revs?
You can. Re-issuing creates a new transmittal entry that references the new rev, while the original transmittal stays in history. The status of each is tracked independently.
Does it integrate with the drawings register?
Yes — every transmittal pulls drawings directly from the register and stores back-links so you can navigate between them in either direction.
