    I’ve had this issue with Spaces, but never Area.

    David,

    Have you tried using Power Query to do your data washing?

    I’ve used this and it works very well.
    Spaces is also great for defining an elevation.

    One thing I also do is add a note using the Headers and Footer’s option that tells me what drawing package its from.
    Nothing crazy, just something like Bid Set or Addendum X
    It also gives me another Tag for the set in a consistent location.

    Try adding an action using the Forms panel.

    Once your button is selected, open you Properties Tab and scroll down. Right at the bottom should be a place where you can add an action.

    Power Query is a function within Excel. If you have O365 you’ll find it under the Data tab. Get and Transform.
    Power Query is a way to ‘wash’ your data in ways that Excel Formula’s can’t do. Its also REALLY good when you have to repeat various steps as new data becomes available.
    I would recommend watching a few YouTube videos on the subject first before trying it.
