Revu with an Interactive Display

  • Revu with an Interactive Display

    Posted by Doug McLean on August 13, 2024 at 10:11 am

    We got a new toy in the Towne Millwork Estimating office…. a Samsung 65″ WAD Interactive Display.

    Using Revu on this thing is fun, but it does require a bit of a tweak to your preferences.

    Once we get into this a bit more, I’ll have some more to share, but a big thank you to Ben Byrnes for giving me a hint about a custom toolbar.

    Seriously, this thing it cool

    One of the first things you need to do is change your Preferences.
    Revu>Preferences>Window>Tablet
    You’ll need to Enable the Tablet Zoom Features, set the Pen and Highlight Cursor to Tablet PC, and set the Touch Input to All Functionality.

    You’ll also need to make a couple of Windows changes too. You will need to enable your Windows Ink Workspace and show your touch keyboard. You will also have to set your interactive display to your primary display when using it.

    A custom toolbar is also helpful. Ours has Escape, Shift, Undo, Redo, Cut, Copy, Paste, and Paste in Place on it. This way you don’t have to engage the touch keyboard.

    Once you’ve got it all set up, remember to save your Profile and have fun. Its quite fun to use one of these things.

    Looking forward @Doug McLean to learn more about how you will use this in your workflow vs. a large monitor/projector attached to a computer.

    Using the pen is tricky.
    Its not quite so easy to do a markup, access a Rt. Click menu, or move the panel ‘beams’.

    Other than that, its quite nice.
