    It’s a Setting, well it is when you’re working with Sets anyways.

    Go into your Preferences > Sets > Set Options > Open Documents: New Tab (or New Tab in front, which puts it first in your list)

    Its one of the advantages with working in Sets or individual pages.
    A Hyperlink essentially opens a new document, in a new tab.
    I detest having to work backwards to try and find my previous page, this way its just another tab. (Of course, I’ll end up with 20-25 tabs open at once and get lost 🤣 anyways)

    If I’m actually working with a full drawing package, 9 times out of 10 I’ll split my screen first, and then click the link in the second screen.

    I had a newly saved template do that to me last week.

    I had to save it in the default folder for it to work

    I watched Erin’s presentation in XCON Anywhere and it was good.
    Wasn’t able to get it scheduled in at XCON 2022, but hopefully I can catch this one.

    We got some good news a couple days ago.

    After another CT Scan it appears that things are shrinking. 🙌🙏

    Chemo keeps wiping out her immune system though, which is SO MUCH FUN during cold and flu season…lol.

    Not sure if these count, they might be more organizationally specific.

    Add your Custom Statuses
    Make sure that any custom columns that you want are applied to the PDF.

    to create a 3D PDF, you just need your program to output either a U3D or a IFC text file, and Revu can create them. If your software does that, you’re good.

    Sets is just a collection of single documents, why does everyone have such a hard time with them?

    Working in single pages give you so much more flexibility. Yes it has some drawbacks when it comes to summarizing, but its just a different process.

    Just a thought Dave

    You talked about working in individual pages on the MCR a little. If that’s the way you want to work, setting your Bookmarks is redundant.

    I personally prefer to work with individual sheets. If you’re working in the cloud, you’re only ever working with that one page, not an entire drawing package. Its much easier to collaborate with single sheets as well, again, you only have the one sheet open, and not the whole package.

    Just something to consider

    It was one of the better ones lately.

    I think when they do these with those of us who work in the industry it changes the whole thing. Its less teaching, and more of a discussion.

    It’s more or less a hybrid of the traditional MCR and Expresso Yourself

    that was us at our last place. It was temporary, but we were there almost 5 years.
    It never felt like it was anything more than temporary so we never set it up.

    This place though, it feels more like home. Its a place I want to stay for a while. I’m already into the IKEA planning tools. Might even do a little Revu layout to see if we can figure out the furniture placement 🤔😂🤓

    the moving stress is over.
    Now its unpacking, placing furniture, figuring out what new stuff we need to make this place work, finding all those small items you threw in a bag…. 🤣🤣

    Oh it was.

    Moving over that time sure didn’t help either. I only JUST got my Hydro account dealt with…lol
