It should still be able to access the individual files.
Make a drawing log from the Set or use the index page, that is hyperlinked and you should be good to go

Sometimes the file size of the photo is just too large. If you can’t reduce the filesize, try uploading it to the cloud and then putting a link to the image instead.

For those of us in the Finishing Trades, Power Query can work better than QL because invariably GC’s want things broken down by room or item even.
QL is great, but setting it up by Space is time consuming. Its next to impossible to set that up on a Template.
I have one re-usable workbook that transforms the data to the way I need it based on a BatchConfig file. It also has two macros on it that break the output table into Tabs as per the Spaces column and then saves those tabs as individual csv files which I import into my Estimating Software.Its pretty slick.

Could you not link to a document, that has a list of hyperlinks on it? Not the best, but could be a workaround.
Have you tried flattening the hyperlink? I know that works with hyperlinks in that other PDF reader, maybe it’ll work in a Session. -

This was a problem in Revu 2019, but it got fixed in Revu 20.
I had it where you could move one grip, then you had to deselect the tool, and reselect it.
Very annoying. -

We have a couple of people here using 2019, but Revu 20 allows for Custom Line styles that don’t show up as an available tool. -

Completely agree with Vince.
Macros can do a lot, but can be tricky to write properly.
While Power Query can be a bit tricky to learn, once its done, its fully repeatable. -

As with most things in Revu, there is more beneath the surface.

Yes, but it comes when you want to update.
Plus I’m pretty sure you can combine stapled files to make a bigger file

You can do that in Electrical, its really hard to make a template for that stuff in the Finishing trades because Architects cant come up with a consistent naming structure.
I can have WD-1 or W1 or W-1 or WWP-1 or almost any combination you can think of.Plus our GC’s prefer to see things by room, which is where Spaces comes in. That just makes setting up a QL link tricky and time consuming when you only have a week to do a job.
I learned Power Query and didn’t look back.

well, you can come to Canada, we just can’t drive across to the US right now (we can fly in though 🤷♂️)
I’d LOVE to get our Field teams on board, its hard enough to get some of our PM’s off those dreaded Legacy Workflows -

Auto creating Spaces would be amazing.
I thought I heard that one can from Revit though. The Spaces transfer over -
