I’ve done the opposite using VBA. If anyone remembers when @mitchyoungs showed up for a glorious 5 minutes and blew all our minds, I learned how he did that and recreated it for another use-case.

So if worse comes to worse and you don’t find another solution, I might be able reverse the process and take data from multiple forms and combine them into a spreadsheet. DM me on LinkedIn if you’d like to try that route.

Otherwise, maybe if I tag @mitchyoungs again he’ll come out of hiding to show us how he does the reverse, because I’m pretty sure he has a way to do it. (Or maybe he’s like Beetlejuice and you have to say his name 3 times, idk.)

Oooh! I got this one!

Here’s another example.

For some reason you cannot convert line segments to arcs if you were holding SHIFT to make that segment snap to 0° or 90° increments. If you snapped to 45° convert to arc should work just fine.

I just move the node a tiny bit, convert to arc, then turn on “snap to content” to be able to put it back aligned with the other node.

I brought it into my favorite JavaScript syntax checker, https://jshint.com, and it showed me that there are indeed some syntax errors.

Take a look and see if you can figure out where you’re missing brackets and whatnot. I suggest maybe download a free text editor meant specifically for coding, either Sublime Text or Notepad++. Either of these tools will let you see which brackets match, kind of like when you’re editing an Excel formula and it highlights the corresponding parenthesis.

If you still can’t figure out, let me know and I’ll dig a little deeper. (I’m currently at work where I don’t have access to my coding software.)

It’s your quotation marks.

When I copy your code into Sublime Text, I can see that they don’t look right:

field: ”Date”,

I tried a Find-Replace in Microsoft Word, but it still isn’t right:

field: “Date”,

Finally, I just manually typed the ” character into Sublime Text and you can see it formats properly:

field: "Date",

See the attached screenshot from Sublime Text. It automatically formats strings as green and the first two aren’t green because the quotation marks are the wrong character and therefore not recognized as strings.

I know, I know, huge pain in the ass. In the future, I would recommend steering clear of text editors like Word when it comes to writing code. Like I mentioned previously, Sublime Text and Notepad++ are both free and will prevent this issue.

Here’s the working code:

var builder = {
    // These map to Text Fields in the Stamp
    textBoxes: [{
        field: "CheckedBy",
        description: "Checked by:",
        default: function () {
            return Collab.user;
        }
    }, {
        field: "Date",
        description: "Date:",
        default: function () {
            var curDate = new Date();
            return (curDate.getMonth() + 1) + "/" + curDate.getDate() + "/" + curDate.getFullYear();
        }
    }, {
        field: "Spec",
        description: "Spec #:",
        default: function () {
            return "";
        }
    }]
}

I love when that happens!

[Liz Larsen]

I gave him some stuff I made previously for someone else, both files and a video I made explain how it all works.

Do you want me to hook you up? 😉

And, as always, feel free to forward your VBA or JavaScript to me and I’ll take a look for any efficiencies that I can find.

@Doug McLean , I can help you with that.

I have time tomorrow afternoon (we have half day Fridays where I work). I’m free at 1pm Eastern. DM me on LinkedIn and we can set something up.

Maybe he’s born with it, maybe it’s Bluebeam?

[Liz Larsen]

Yep. We’re kind of stumped over here.

I’m wondering if there’s a setting somewhere? We don’t use the Bluebeam Revit plugin, so it’s not that (probably).

We’re currently using Revu 21.

[Liz Larsen]

The links are created automatically by printing via CTRL+P, then choosing the Bluebeam option in the print dialog. We’ve never had to create them on an existing PDF, they’re always just there when Revit is done creating the file.

We do not have the level of Bluebeam that has batch hyperlink.

The user was creating a PDF from Revit. The links are created automatically by printing via CTRL+P, then choosing the Bluebeam option in the print dialog.

We do not have the level of Bluebeam that has batch hyperlink.

Check out Vince’s YouTube channel. He has a couple videos from 3 months ago where he uses some custom line styles to do offsets.

I’ll let the others chime in with any additional resources.
