I’ve noticed this too, only with Line Styles.
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. -

the easiest way might be to open a blank PDF and then attach the Profiles and Tool sets you want to that PDF. Then simply save it on a OneDrive or email it to yourself.
you could also just drop the Profiles and Tool Sets into your OneDrive or other cloud based access. -

Yes, most of them are the same.
They will go to a specific sub folder within our Estimate folder.
Everything is consistent. Everything is all contained within the same parent folder.

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.

most times you don’t need too, however there are times when a drawing has been skewed and the x and y scales are different.
I’ve also heard that Civil plans can be sent this way. -

well, its a great way to start…. and I always do a quick double check once I need to start doing markups.

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.
