📌 CENDAS Plans
Here you can upload new plans, manage existing plans, and organize them into folders.
➡️ Uploading Plans
To upload a construction plan to the CENDAS app, click on Upload New Plan at the bottom right and select one or more DXF or PDF files, or drag and drop them from your file explorer into the light blue area.
While the file is uploading, please do not leave the page until the circle is filled and changes into a circle of rotating dots! Then the plan will be analyzed. The plan is analyzed and equipped with multiple zoom levels so that every tiny detail can be enlarged. This may take a few minutes depending on the plan size.
💡Tip:
Here you can find information on how to export dxf/dwg files: 🔷Exporting CAD Plans
📣Note:
A plan is considered fully processed by the system once the icons for plan view and plan preparation appear when hovering the mouse pointer over them.
➡️ Renaming Plans
To rename a plan, first open the side menu of a plan by clicking the three vertical dots at the top right next to its name on its tile. Then enter a new name under Plan Pair Name and confirm by clicking the blue checkmark. Clicking the gray cross cancels the entry.
📣Note:
Plans are displayed alphabetically in the project overview. Therefore, the position of the renamed plan in the overview may change.
➡️ Replacing Plans
To replace a plan, first open the side menu of a plan by clicking the three vertical dots at the top right next to its name on its tile. Then, in the Files area, click 🔄 either next to the PDF or the DXF file and select the new file with which you want to replace the old one.
📣Note:
- Replacing the PDF file only replaces the plan's view. This can be helpful if the automatically generated view from the DXF file does not meet expectations. Please ensure that the PDF was exported without margins.

🔷Plan Requirements
- Replacing the DXF file replaces the entire plan, and a new PDF file is also generated. This process may take a few minutes.
➡️ Downloading Plans
To download a plan, first open the side menu of a plan by clicking the three vertical dots at the top right next to its name on its tile. Then, in the Files area, click the download icon ⬇️ next to the PDF and/or DXF file.
You can also export your created drawings, your areas, and the task markers on the plan. To do this, just click the download button next to the corresponding PDF plan.
You then have the choice to select all options or only selected options. Then click Download Plan
➡️ Reviewing Plan Versions
To see what has changed in the plan versions over time, go to the side menu of your plan. Simply click on the three dots next to the plan name, scroll down, and click Compare Versions
You can then view the versions of your plans. If you zoom in on one plan, the position and zoom level are transferred to the other plan. So you can quickly and easily compare your plans.
You can also open this view directly from the plan version. How to do this is shown in the following video:
❗Important:
Only plan views can be compared. Tasks cannot be compared, and it is not possible to revert to an earlier plan version.
➡️ Deleting Plans
To delete a plan, first open the side menu of a plan by clicking the three vertical dots at the top right next to its name on its tile. Then select Delete Plan Pair at the very bottom.
❗Important:
When you complete this action, the plan and all tickets created on it will be permanently deleted and cannot be restored!
