    Mostly, I’ve had this happen to me while trying to edit a Space.

    I’m wondering is it every control point, or just certain ones? He didn’t use dynamic fill to create the markup did he?

    I use a lot of Choice and Formula columns
    I’m with @David Cutler, my custom columns are based on what I need for my Estimating Software.

    Always get them to answer this question – “What problem are you trying to solve?”

    We do about 45% of our business in the US, so I had a working day off Monday

    I might have found something.
    There is a setting to automatically save a Set drawing log when saving a set, which saves it to the same location as the .bex file is saved.
    I should be able to just use that as I can use Power Query to grab that file

    wouldn’t the formula be something like – ((number of 2 x 2 blocks * 4) + width + height)
    Assuming each 2 x 2 square will be cut on at least one width and one height and the attached 2 x 2 square will complete the cut. Then the additional width and height will complete all the cuts.

    David, you might try this.

    I have a few custom tool chests that are a little generic. Each only holds a few tools. What I have is a custom column called Product that holds the different types of what is represented in the tool chest. For example, in my Casework – Wall tool chest there are only about 6 tools, but once I place that, I have about 20 specific Products associated with that markup.
    In my Custom Column data, I have the various products set to specific subjects, so only those products associated with a specific subject appear in the dropdown list.

    Would something like that help you out at all?
    I know its not exactly what you’re looking for, but it does make finding stuff easier.

    I’ve used this in the past as well. Its a great trick… one that can confuse the average user

    It does, but its reliant on the person to do that step. I’d like to make it error proof somehow.

    I heard back from Bluebeam.
    They’re hoping for the end of the week. Still waiting on final approval.

    I dropped an email to Bluebeam this morning.
    I don’t want to get too far ahead in my PPT design and then have to fit their template
