Sounds like she is gaining valuable experience on a large project, good for her.

It depends on where the drawings came from and who produced them. Back in the manual drafting days, you could write whatever dimension you wanted between the extension lines. It didn’t always matter if it was to scale. That carried into 2D CAD programs as well, where you could override the dimension value. In a 3D BIM world, the rule is to model everything exactly how it should be built, so dimensions are accurate. You’re also not able to override dimensions anymore.

At the end of the day, it depends on the tools used and the quality of the work.

Sorry for pulling this post back to the surface, but I found the answer. You can save and share or import your pinned categories to another computer. I wrote a quick blog post.

That’s pretty cool @dhwalkellc

We’re already able to produce a lot of similar reports with sorting and filtering the export. Do you see this eliminating the need for some of the custom columns, maybe simplify things a little? It will be fun to see the progress and abilities once you get beyond the first try. I’m sure there will be many cool things to share! I really appreciate you sharing Don!

It might be a result of the outage last week. That’s the only guess I have. Here is the link on how to fix it. 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Finally, I can turn off the “Comment” column in the toolsets. I think this has been a request for over 20 years.

With that said, what bugs are everyone seeing in the new update?

• My scroll wheel zoom sometimes becomes unresponsive for no apparent reason. To be fair, I had this issue in past versions.
• My Legends are not creating properly, and are not updating live. Whether I create the Legend from the markups on the drawing or from the Toolset, they don’t report the information. When I add new markups, they don’t update the Legend. When I manually add the markups to the existing Legend, they create a new instance rather than adding to the existing markup quantity.

Probably more, but those are the biggest headaches during the class I taught yesterday.

I always thought the recent files were more of a local thing, and there was no way it could be saved and shared. Turns out, it’s extremely easy! Good luck with the computer migration!

Great share @DavidCutler

Way to see it through to finally find the solution. Most people don’t know layers are even a thing. Making sure its on Default before saving is a great solution, I didn’t think of off hand. Again, thanks for sharing.

[Troy DeGroot]

Civil models can have an extremely large number of points and surfaces. If he could provide just the right layers, it should reduce the file size. Maybe you’ll have more success with that…?

I’m excited to see it when you make it work.

[Troy DeGroot]

I wonder if their file could be imported into another software, maybe Civil 3D, and then exported as an ICF… where there’s a will, there’s a way.

[Troy DeGroot]

I wasn’t sure, but it was worth a shot. Glad they are up and running.

@Vince Just remember Newton’s Third Law of Updates, “For every bug fix, there is an equal and opposite new bug.” 🤣

[Troy DeGroot]

@Vince Looks like the 21.6.1 update published today has eliminated the “My Tools” issue

[Troy DeGroot]

I came in here to share the link, and you beat me to it my friend. Thank you!

[Troy DeGroot]

You don’t like having 4 different My Tools you can’t get rid of? 🤣

I only save mine to the default location, and I still have this issue. This issue has been occurring for months before the update. There is only one file in the folder, but 4 toolsets somehow.

I’ve been fighting this one for a while as well. I don’t find bugs in the versions like we used to; my bugs are alive and constantly moving. Basic things work in the morning, but not in the afternoon. If I close BB and open it, it works, but a new bug comes up. I typically have to shut down BB three times during a two-hour class.
