Nice to you’re playing with the new formulas. (wrapcols)

Revu does offer a couple of easy ways to produce a drawing index. One is from Bookmarks, the other is from Sets.
Pretty handy if you ever need them

One of the other things they could do it not just copy/ paste a spec from a previous job.

welcome to the site.

Something like that is probably a custom tool.
Maybe check the tool sets that @troy-degroot has built, or the Bluebeam website

Things I tell designers is to take standard material sizes into account when you’re designing something.
You don’t know how many times I get something made out of solid wood that has a finished size of 2″.
Standard solid wood sizes are 4/4, 6/4, 8/4,and 10/4 (if we can get it). So for a 2″ finish, we need to either get 10/4 OR laminate two pieces together to reach 2″ thick. It effects cost.
You don’t know how many times I see stuff 50″ wide… which requires me to price a 5 x 12 sheet, which 25% of ends up as waste. Again, adds to the cost.
There are so many times when they just don’t take material size limits into account in their design.

There is no substitute for bad drawings!!

One thing you might try, but it could be time consuming, is to label them yourself.
It can be done with Headers and Footers, but it will take some practice.
If there are only a few that are in an odd spot, you can edit the tags before you apply them.

The Automark feature is great, but everything has to be in the same place in order for it to work. Something most people simply don’t understand because they don’t know the down stream processes.

I’m with everyone else on this… my answer, it depends. 😁

What I’d more like to know is to how to NOT export every tool chest with a Profile.
I have a lot of job specific tool chests that don’t need to be shared with the team.

[Doug McLean]

Oh don’t get me wrong, both tools have there place.
The Polylength tool just error proofs the process in this case, as we just want a line.

[Doug McLean]

oh I hear that, the new formulas are wonderful.
I recently changed my filepath formula to using textbefore from the left and find functions… so much easier.

[Doug McLean]

@lizlarsen is mulling this over as I understand it

[Doug McLean]

You would have to match the tags on the updated drawings to whatever you put on the previous page

[Doug McLean]

We don’t, but that does happen with our local AWMAC (Architectural Woodwork Manufacturers Association of Canada) office.
I’m pretty sure that AWI does the same in the US, but its a big struggle.

[Doug McLean]

partially.

I’m thinking this is a perfect “Make a Suggestion’ item

[Doug McLean]

Oh don’t rely on me for JavaScript.
I’m too busy learning M code to learn Javascript

[Doug McLean]

Some do, at least at the beginning.

Once the project moves forward things always change.
