    Activated out 15 day trial of Max today! So far I’ve been using the “Change To”, “Duplicate As” and “Split Markup” tools.

    What else should I be sure to try over the next 15 days?

    Are you using the right click menu or the CTRL and CTRL + ALT method?
    Offset is another one that I use regularly.
    Not sure how the Smart Review and Smart Overlay work as I can’t use those with our drawings.
    Claude and Revu are beginning to be a whole new world at the moment – some of the stuff it can do is pretty amazing!

      I’m using a bit of both @Vince

      Not getting into the Claude – or other – AI interfaces at this point.

      But putting the new “Offset” and “Duplicate As” through their paces! 😎

        @DavidCutler – I think I might blow your mind very soon!

          I’ve been pretty impressed, but I have found a few things that I need to watch out for with the “Offset As” feature. Specifically I have custom tools that are set to provide results in Square Yards (SY). What I found is that if I use my custom tool that measures in Square Yards to offset a poly line the custom tool reverts to Square Feet (SF). I haven’t fully investigated this with the various “Magic Wand” tools, but it is definitely something to watch out for! 😎
