one of the advantages (IMO) of using Sets.
Plus you have the old drawing right underneath the new one to show any changes if necessary

[Doug McLean]

I do this all the time with schedules, Door, Millwork, etc.
It just makes it so much easier.

[Doug McLean]

I believe that you could do that using Studio Prime, but that’s going away shortly.

I’m going to say no, but it might be something to ask in Communities

[Doug McLean]

why not just create a specific custom tool set up to the way you want your text box?

[Doug McLean]

comparing a text document is a bit different.
I’d do what Dave suggested and put them side by side, turn on the sync and start reading.

With a 20 page difference, any differences shouldn’t be too hard to spot.

Highlighter tools will become your friend.

[Doug McLean]

I really need to set mine up more.

The feature I love the most on mine is the left/ right scroll wheel. Very handy for Excel sheets, but also for side to side scrolling on a set of plans. (you have to enable this in your Preferences btw)
I also have two buttons set up to move between Tabs

I looked at the release notes and wasn’t going to bother, then another member of my team updated.
What he found was that they hid a few updates. They’ve updated the Custom Column popup interface to be more in line with the other popups (before it was stuck in Revu 2017).
There was also a Word plugin fix, which I use, so we’ll see where that goes.
Still haven’t fixed the custom labels issue though (since they can’t seem to reproduce it on their end). 😕

[Doug McLean]

While a custom column could be created in Revu for tracking, my thoughts are that it’s not the best location for it.
Now if this was being entered by someone in the field, then sure, it could work. Then the data could be exported and analyzed in either Excel, Power BI, or whatever BI solution that you’re using.

[Doug McLean]

I’ll have to check that one out

[Doug McLean]

if you run into any issue where you need to clean your data, go back and watch the back to back MCR’s I did on cleaning up PDF data.

I can also send you the basic recipe for cleaning stacked headers

[Doug McLean]

this is why I’m thinking if he added a custom Tag, it could be sorted that way.
Like the same way it sorts the different disciplines, i.e. Architectural, Mechanical, ID, etc.

One of our clients has a standard prefix template they use on their shop drawings, and I was able to build a Custom Set based on those prefixes.

If we add a tag for say Floor Plans, RCP’s, Elevations, we SHOULD be able to group those by those Tags, correct? That way they’re indexed that way in the Set.

[Doug McLean]

that can be achieved using Statuses

[Doug McLean]

Pretty sure the driver is up to date as its a network printer, but who knows.

The text does show in the Print Preview window.
I’ll have him try the Print as image though

[Doug McLean]

Right?!?! 🤣🤣

Yeah, its not me.
We do still actually print things for the shop from time to time.

[Doug McLean]

that’ll do it.

When I set up a template file, I just delete all the table rows except the top one, then clear the data in that top row. Just leave yourself a header row and one blank row.

At that point to you can record a macro to refresh and place it on a button.

What yours was doing was creating a Connection Only Query,
You could have fixed this by opening the Queries and Connections pane (Data> Queries and Connections) then Rt. Click> Load to.
