Thanks again everyone.

As I said before, the worst part has been just getting started. Even though it’s only been 3 weeks, it feels longer (the week between Christmas and New Year’s sure didn’t help)

For her the worst has been this thing called ascieties, which is a fluid build up in her abdomen. Having this drained every few days is very taxing. When they do this, they take anywhere from 4-6 liters of fluid from her. If there’s a good thing with Chemo, is that it will clear this up fairly quickly. Trust me when I say that this part is no fun.

The next 9 weeks will be part one on this journey. 3 rounds of Chemo to (hopefully) shrink the tumors prior to surgery. Then of course, a fairly extensive abdominal surgery.

Right now, that’s our goal. Get through the Chemo and get to the surgery.

BC has some of the very best Cancer treatment centers anywhere, so our hope is good. I promise to keep everyone posted.

Excellent question.

I think the very nature of the tool itself doesn’t lend itself to a second leader.
I would do what both David and Roye have suggested and match a callout to the Cloud+

[Doug McLean]

All kidding aside, yes, welcome to all the New members.

Please remember, there are no dumb questions. We’re all here to help each other.

Don’t be shy.

You can just add custom columns w/o editing the markup but if you want pre-populated columns you’ll have to re-save them

[Doug McLean]

The BatchConfig file is really the first step in any kind of automation. It will give you a consistent output of data.

If I had any tips it would be to filter your Markups list first for just the columns you want first, that will give you a bit of a headstart.

It’s going to take some experimentation to get it exactly right, but it’s well worth the time investment.

[Doug McLean]

There is a Set scale to multiple pages option that you should be using.

I have a workflow for this process that speeds it up.
Go to your Search Panel
Search for the scale.
Select all the boxes
Highlight Checked.
Open the Markups list and Select All.
Open the Measurements Panel
Set your scale
Click Add Scale to More Pages
Choose Selected pages
Click OK
Delete your highlights
Repeat for next scale

this could be fun.

Going to need to let this one stew for a bit though

[Doug McLean]

Oh they’ve already put her through all the tests.
Plus she is going for genetic testing as well

[Doug McLean]

Thanks.

The worst part has been just getting everything going. The Christmas season didn’t help because people were off for 4 days after Christmas.

[Doug McLean]

🤣🤣🤣

[Doug McLean]

Yes, I’ll edit.

[Doug McLean]

The one thing you really have to watch is when you have multiple scales on a page.

It will set the page scale to the last one you did.

Always double check and insert viewports where necessary

[Doug McLean]

Oh I still verify.

Plus I ALWAYS set metric scales as custom.

[Doug McLean]

its just the way Revu applies formulas.(plus good habits)
Without the benefit of an If statement, everything is global.
True, as long as all tools are the same type, i.e. Polylength, then it doesn’t matter, but if all of a sudden you need to apply your formula to an Area tool, things are quite different.
