    I could have sworn a few months back you had something on Administrative tasks.

    Was it a blog post?

    I sort of noticed something similar yesterday when I was training.

    I wondered if it was a 20.2.85 glitch or something but haven’t explored too much.

    New version is out in less than a week, hopefully this gets fixed

    I too was rather underwhelmed at Bluebeam Cloud. I’m right there with Troy in that it needs some work.
    On the flip side, I learned a tonne. Got to meet some new people who were simply amazing, and my wife had a really good time because of the people.
    Meeting up with people the same people that troy mentioned was one of the main reasons for me going. This really is an amazing community and I’m proud to be a part of it.
    Can’t wait until next year.

    Yeah, I didn’t think you could upload an Excel file to a Session.

    Maybe try and move it to a Project and it should work.

    well, its happened to someone else now.
    We had something similar happen recently to a Stamp. (only it also rotated the stamp)

    Which version are you using?

    I’m going to agree with Vince.
    Make sure you have full backups of you Custom Columns saved somewhere and then import them into the drawing when necessary.

    When you open a non PDF from Projects, it opens a local copy.

    You’ll have to check the file back in once you save it.
    If you look in your Pending box on the Projects homepage, you will see the file you have checked out.
    Check it in from there.

    Yeah, you’re going to want to do this the way David said. You’re not going to want all that data in a stamp. You won’t be able to do anything with it.

    Take the time and build the custom columns. You’ll thank us later

    David, if you go into the Studio project I created, I have a couple documents that go through the steps of my Power Query and what they all do.
    It will help you in your journey.
    I’m pretty sure I also included some links to the people I go to for this training. Its all on YouTube.

    Go have fun with it.

    Troy is correct.
    Go to Sets > Print Set > Print Latest Revisions.

    Thus why I wanted to be at my computer 😀

    Having all the information is different spots is part of the fun though 😂
    There are ways to potentially merge all that data, but there are a whole lot of IFS that come along with that statement.
    Unless you really need to have all the info on the drawings or in the markups list, I wouldn’t put it there. It’ll just add a bunch of noise that isn’t necessary.

    What I would try and do is merge all that data outside of Revu, and set up hyperlinks.

    Saying that though, Doors are a royal PITA, and the way they get written into plans and specs is probably one of the worst things Architects do to us. Its not always possible to wash that data properly so that you can merge it together.
