Add Photos to a Drawing from the Camera (iOS)

Objective

To link photos to a location on a drawing from the camera tool on the Procore iOS app.

Things to Consider

• Required User Permissions: 
  • To add photos to a drawing, 'Standard' permissions on the project's Drawings tool AND 'Read Only' or higher permissions on the project's Photos tool.
    Note: Users with 'Read Only' permissions to the Photos tool can only select photos that already exist in the Photos tool, while users with 'Standard' or 'Admin' permissions can also add new photos. 
  • To publish personal markups to the Published layer, 'Standard' or 'Admin' on the project's Drawings tool. See What is the difference between personal and published markups?
• Additional Information:
  • Photos pinned to a drawing via the camera as described in this article do not show up in the 'Photos from Drawings' album. Photos added to drawings from the Drawing tool will appear in the 'Photos from Drawings' album in the Photos tool.
