Finding your custom tools quickly
We have assembled an extensive custom tool chest. To make finding the tools easier they are grouped into tool sets by type of work – water, sewer, paving, etc. The list is still pretty long though. I discovered a shortcut to make finding tools easier if I need to add additional takeoff into a file. Simply find an existing takeoff in your drawing and modify it – move a control point for example, and then undo the change with a quick “ctrl-z”. When you do this the tool appears in your “Recent Tools” set and you can start a new markup without having to page through all of your tool sets.
Added bonus tip – did you know that dynamic fill has an option for choosing from a “recent tools” set also? The tip above can be used with dynamic fill!
Anyone have other ways that you use “Recent Tools” to speed up your work?
