My work around for now is to print using the Image engine. This keeps my line weights visible, but is a pain to run on each individual. Bluebeam support has forwarded, but that’s the best it gets right now I think.

Hmmm this one is interesting. Do you know if he is using the print driver, the create PDF, or the stapler way of printing? Which method do you use?

We use the iPad app in the field now, but only for specific projects involving those new forms we went through. This is only for the use of javascript and layer controls, as well as the PDF check in check out system through projects. Field employees have enjoyed it so far, but only because they are using minimal markups, not storing DRL issues, and more of just entering data into form fields. Cloud for us is nowhere close to where we need it, and most of our field work is done through PlanGrid.

Ok, I did a little testing on this, let me know if this fits or not:
When exporting a “summary”, it will not store the same data as if you were to actually “Export markups”. The default format for this is .bax, but you can switch the dropdown for file type to “all files” and put a .xml extension on your name. Tested an export import with this and it seems to work, but it depends on what you are doing with those markups in between and if they need to be imported into another program.
Also, if you export .bax, then open the file with notepad, you will see the same format as if you saved xml and opened in notepad, so maybe some others can chime in on effects of this I don’t know about.
Attached are two files, the M2.00.xml is a Markup summary exported as xml, the Longer named xml file is an actual markups export saved as xml. Try opening both in notepad to see the above visually. I can’t upload .bax extensions here.

Quite the workflow there! Curious what you are trying to edit in the markups file?

This was an awesome one for sure!

Have you guys tried going to the properties of the file in studio and grabbing the link that way? This is the closest I can seem to get, and will still open up studio to get to the file, not a browser view or anything like that.

Possible its on an “Enterprise hosted studio server?”

Ugh, we are about to switch to sharepoint and I know this issue will come up. We already have the issue occasionally with onedrive through file explorer, and this sounds like it will be more of an issue when they switch. Is the error handling similar to Onedrive? Alot of these files will not even pop up with an error, and we just have to know why it refuses to open.

OK further (confusing) clarification here. When finding that method, I was using the Bluebeam Script Reference 2.0.9, which was apparently published on Feb 9, 2018. This is apparently superseded by Version 1.0.8 (Published Feb 27, 2019?), which removes said method. Both attached.

Sad day, missed the show. Is there by chance a recording floating around out there?

We tried sets, but it does not seem like it is beneficial for our workflow. Our file structure is pretty basic, just mechanical revision sorted by date, but we keep all our bidding info on the revision file, and slip sheet the latest into a folder called “Takeoff Set”, which will have individual files and a ton of markups on each. If sets could manage a single up to date location instead of linking to each revision folder it would work better for us, but at that point would also not be much more different than just maintaining the file structure manually.

This is really cool, and works on my end. Thank you @britger !

I did end up figuring out the if statement after posting this, bit the offset I completely missed! Thank you, will try this out Monday! Definitely think you may have hit it perfect there!
