Is it a setting in your email program @Doug McLean ? While I don’t use it on a regular basis when I just tried emailing a page from the thumbnail view the email was created in HMTL format.

We use Outlook for our email. When I checked my mail settings the default is to “Compose messages in this format: HTML”. I switched it to “Plain Text” and tried the same procedure as above and the email was created in “Plain Text”.

See screen shots below for where I found this settings.

@Jeff.Collins were you able to find a way to import these comments?

What version of Revu are you running @ChrisRiley ? I know others have been reporting issues with 20.80, 20.85 and 21.

@ChrisRiley have you seen this previous post from @troy-degroot ?

You may be able to use Troy’s suggestion of having your RFI form as a template to insert into your documents…

Love it when we find new uses for tools @Vince !

Using the Typewriter today I identified another Bonus Tip @Vince !

Similar to most tools in review the Typewriter is customizable – you can change font size, color, font (as noted by @troy-degroot ) background color, outline box color, etc. Once you use the tool it shows in your “recent tools” with your adjusted attributes. You can then re-use the tool with all of those settings over and over again without changing your default settings.

For a double extra bonus tip you can save the customized Typewriter as a custom tool in your toolbox.

For a triple extra bonus tip drag the customized typewriter up into your “My Tools” toolbox and establish a keyboard shortcut to activate the tool!

This could get interesting… 😎

That’s a great idea to have on the “intro to Revu” list @Doug McLean ! We have someone who just started in our accounts payable team that I’ll have to show the tool to…

It’s all about saving clicks @lizlarsen !

Interested to see how you are using this @Vince – specifically how you tie the typewritten (or text box) information to a specific piece of work.

[David Cutler]

Like most tools @troy-degroot the Typewriter isn’t perfect. If you need to stay in a certain area you need to press enter at the end of the line (just like a typewriter without the “ding”) where if you were using a text box it would auto return at the limits of the box. At the same time the Typewriter doesn’t have an outline as a default so you don’t need to reformat the text box to hide the line to keep things clean…

I think @vince what he is asking is can you select multiple cutouts (say window and doors on an elevation view) and then paste that group of cutouts onto another markup. Does this sound correct @robgib0 ?

As a different approach Rob could you copy the markup that has the cutouts already and paste it onto your next markup area? Even if you had to change the properties or perhaps limits of the “new” markup it may be more efficient than cutting out all the areas.

[David Cutler]

That’s a good question @robgib0 , I’ve never thought to try it…

[David Cutler]

Missed the “email template” portion of you question… 🙂 Not sure how to change that…

[David Cutler]

I think the “consistency” is where I was getting messed up yesterday @Doug McLean

Reading through some of your XCON materials I think what I need to do is setup a template file with the query in our “new project” directory template and save the exported file to the same directory every time with the same name every time… I have the export columns setup to be generated consistently, now I need to be more disciplined in my file naming…

Understood on being stuck in the ruts @ChrisRiley – turning an organization – large or small – takes time and can be very difficult as I’m sure you are well aware. At the same time it sounds as if many of these same individuals started on paper systems and have grown to use Revu. Perhaps this is an opportunity for additional growth for them? I know that when I see an example presented by @troy-degroot , @Doug McLean , or @Vince I get inspired to see what new feature/tool I can utilize in my workflow.
