@troy-degroot my custom columns are what I need in my .csv export file to import into B2W, our estimating software:
– Item
– Description
– Quantity
– Unit
– Phase
The “Quantity” column has a simple formula that reports the “measurement” value. The other 4 are prepopulated for each custom tool.

You’re closer to figuring it out @Vince than I am. Keep us posted.

I’ve had good luck saving PDFs as Word documents and then copying the text I need from there. I can’t say that I’ve ever tried it with a drawing though…

@apssales if it is the “Tool Chest” pane that you are looking to remove the “Comment” column from you could narrow up the pane by hovering your cursor over the joint between the Tool Chest and the document and then left click, hold and drag left. This would work, unless you are looking to see the “Label” column.
Another option, if you have multiple monitors is to “Un-Dock” the Tool chest and move it to another monitor. To do this simply click on the Toolbox icon and drag it somewhere else. You can then close the side panel display completely making the area where you PDF is displayed even larger.
A bonus tip is to un-dock the markup list. This frees up a tremendous amount of space at the bottom of the screen. My standard setup has the markup list on a completely different screen. To do this click on the markup list icon and drag it to another screen.

MemberJune 29, 2022 at 9:46 am in reply to: QR Codes or NFC links to drawings in BB Projects?Points: 28,316Rank: UC2 Brainery Advanced Brown Belt IInteresting question @kbolen16
As I start many of my replies, I’m not very familiar with QR/NFC tags. I wonder though if you could set one up that would open a Dashboard in Revu that would then contain the links to the files that you want people to access. Others on here have significant experience with Dashboards and hopefully will chime in with ideas.
Might also be helpful to know who your target end user is – specifically internal vs external – as there may be security issues and such.

@Doug McLean you could try reaching out to Liz Larsen as I believe she posted recently that she is presenting.

I tried your process this morning @TPERRY21 and it worked pretty well.
I was pleasantly surprised that Revu would recognize the flattened markup as a “fillable” line. I think as a group we have discussed this in the past, without the flattening step, and found that a markup didn’t work as a boundary. Your process proves that wrong! Thank you again for sharing this.
One thing I did find interesting is that the dynamic fill “spilled” out of the flattened markup in multiple areas. I would have thought that Revu would create a “tight” markup.
I’m still not convinced that dynamic fill is my favorite tool. I find that it ends up with what I would describe as “random” extra points that I find myself going back to remove. Might be user error or sensitivity settings, but that is probably better left for another discussion.
Thank you again for your response post Terry!

I can add control points without issue, but I can’t move them or remove them.
I haven’t tried spinning around in my chair 3 times yet though…🤣

We all have to start someplace @Vince
Having someone break trail for you is priceless! Plus they tend to find all of the spider webs and low hanging snakes…😎

What are these “automated functions to import excel to quickly create tool symbols” that you speak of @troy-degroot ? This sounds interesting….

MemberJune 21, 2022 at 3:44 pm in reply to: Hyperlink with Snapshot – How to keep link if moving file to different locationPoints: 28,316Rank: UC2 Brainery Advanced Brown Belt II’ll preface this by saying that I don’t have experience setting up/updating links.
Are links classified as markups? If so, I wonder if you could display the link values in a column on the markup list. You then might be able to change them as a group?

I usually find the answer to my questions about 5 minutes after I post them @Doug McLean 😎
I keep posting them though so others can learn. Thank you for posting your solution!

Always good to start with the end in mind @Doug McLean
Seems as if I’ve heard someone say that before…😎
