A method and system provide the ability to track object progress in a drawing sheet. An object type is created and activity types are assigned to the object type. The activity types represent a progression of an object of the object type. A portable document format (PDF) drawing sheet that has multiple symbol instances is obtained. A graphic region containing a symbol instance is selected in the drawing sheet. A markup is created on the drawing sheet based on the selected graphic region. Multiple symbol instances are autonomously detected based on the selected graphic region. Progress tracking markup instances of the markup are autonomously created for the detected symbol instances and are linked to the object type. The progress of the object instances is visually tracked using graphical user interface (GUI) visualizations that provide a visual representation of the progression via the markups.
