hi all, hoping for some guidance……………..
finally had a scenario where i had some substructure take offs
where all descriptions and heights would be the same from plot to plot….approx 30 plots
lengths are the only thing that change from plot to plot and air brick counts, some items omit………..
so i set up an excel template with my descriptions-created a toolbox to correspond with those descriptions-did all the linking to the sheet……..first take off ……..happy days all as expected all totals link and back check correctly—-save and close.
so, i want to move on to the next plot, so i call up the template(xls) change the pdf it links to in the resources dialogue(and remove the old sheet link) within excel…………
cannot re use the template without some error or other(various)
My question…………how do i reuse the xls template i have created with a fresh pdf.
appreciate any steer.

Hi Rob
Without knowing a bit more it would be hard to answer.
Did you do anything more than have it link to a specific tool?
i.e. a floor, space, etc? -

Just so I understand…
You are using the same Excel template and Bluebeam tools and markups?

thanks all……………
as all the subs on all plots are exactly the same descriptions, same heights…..(lengths and counts differ)….. etc
i just wanted a template that i can call up, link to a new pdf – carry out a take off—then save as a seperate excel sheet for later incorporation into a global workbook
so plot 1 take off, plot 2 take off. etc
the sheet i have created links to a tool box only, with matching descriptions-no spaces, batch links or anything else– just pure tools.
will do a quick screen record this mornig to show the problem
i think i am missing something, or not understanding what i think quant link can do…..

After watching your video, it seems to me that you are using 2 different PDF’s.

Your File Names are different.
In the Excel file you selected 12&13(one half)
in Revu you selected 12&13 Pair-

I’m having the same issue. I built a bunch of custom tools to match up with a custom Excel workbook, made all the links and saved them. When I copy the template Excel file into a new folder, link it to a new drawing, and perform my markups, the quantities don’t link. I’m not sure what I’m missing.
