Aproveo
ENGINEERED FOR CONTROL. BUILT FOR TEAMS.

Drawing approvals, finally under control.

The engineering drawing review and approval platform that keeps projects moving and teams aligned. Distribute drawings, collaborate on annotations, collect approval signatures, and keep a complete audit trail — from anywhere.

Trusted by engineering teams

Up to 50% faster approval cycles.

Email chains weren't built for engineering approvals.

Manual review with scattered PDFs, physical signatures, and inbox threads makes it hard to know what's approved — and impossible to prove it later.

Everything you need to release a drawing with confidence.

Release & revision workflows

Create an Action, assign engineer, drafter, reviewer, and approver, and send it for review.

Multi-PDF upload

Drop 1–30 drawings per action with automatic sheet size detection (ANSI A–E, ISO A0–A4, or custom templates). 3D STEP files auto-match to PDF drawings by file name.

Collaborative annotations

Text notes and sketch markup with threaded replies, right on the drawing.

Title-block e-signatures

Approval fields auto-placed from your drawing templates and filled with name + timestamp.

Version history

Replace a PDF and prior versions are preserved; approvals reset automatically.

Notifications & due dates

In-app and email reminders keep pending assignees on track.

BEYOND THE DRAWING

Review the model, not just the print.

Attach STEP files to any drawing and review them in the browser — measure features, inspect B-rep edges, rotate with the view cube, and explode assemblies. No CAD seat required.

  • In-browser STEP viewer
  • Measure tool
  • Exploded assembly view
  • Collaborative annotation tools
  • Included in Action Report exports

From draft to approved in four steps.

  1. 1

    Create an action

    Choose release or revision and upload your drawings.

  2. 2

    Assign & send

    Add reviewers and approvers and send for review.

  3. 3

    Review & sign

    Reviewers annotate and disposition; approvers sign in the title block.

  4. 4

    Export the package

    Download approved drawings or a full Action Report with timeline and burned-in markups.

Built for everyone in the approval chain.

Requesters & drafters
Submit drawings, track status at a glance, and address feedback without losing the thread.
Reviewers
Mark up drawings, leave threaded notes, and disposition as "Reviewed with notes" or "Approved."
Approvers
Sign off with a title-block e-signature and a permanent record of the decision.

A complete, exportable record of every decision.

Every review, approval, and revision is captured automatically. Export an Action Report (CSV timeline + all PDF versions with annotations burned in) or download just the approved drawings with approval stamps.

Frequently asked questions

What is Aproveo?

Aproveo is a cloud platform for reviewing and approving engineering drawings. It replaces email chains and manual signatures with auditable release-and-revision workflows.

What file types can I upload?

PDF drawings (1–30 per action) with automatic sheet-size detection, plus optional STEP (.step/.stp) files for in-browser 3D review.

How do electronic signatures work?

Approval fields are auto-placed in your drawing's title block from your templates and filled with the approver's name and a timestamp. (Name + timestamp, not cryptographic.)

Can I review 3D models?

Yes. Attach a STEP file to a drawing and review it in the browser with measure, view cube, and exploded-assembly tools — no CAD seat required.

What happens when a drawing changes?

Replace the PDF and prior versions are preserved while approvals reset, so nothing is approved by accident.

Is my data secure and isolated?

Each workspace has org-scoped, isolated storage and a complete audit trail of sensitive operations.

Can I export my data?

Yes. Export an Action Report (CSV timeline + all PDF versions with annotations) or download just the approved drawings. Workspace lifecycle tools support export and purge.

Is there a free plan?

Yes — the Personal plan is free with up to 5 actions and 2 members. Upgrade to Consultant or Team for more.
