    If you go to the Tools menu, all the way at the bottom, you will see Reuse. Make sure that is turned on. Also, if you go to Tools > Toolbars make sure the Status Bar is turned on. This will show a toolbar at the bottom-right of your interface, where you will see a button to turn on the Reuse Markup Tool. Some other important button on there for you is the Snap To Content tool that will help you get more accurate measurements faster. It snaps to the linework in the PDF.

    Thanks for being in the Brainery @bb-user

    For 2026, I plan on learning more about Task Link workflows with the GoCanvas integrations. I believe there are significant benefits to these tools working together.

    As for what I feel I have dialed in, my Pinned documents, organized into categories, are working really well for me. It keeps all my documents at my fingertips when I teach or when someone asks a question on the fly.

    Thanks for downloading the Free Tools @wpajakwmjdonovan-com

    Once you have all your tools built and placed in the Toolset, click on the properties gear to the right of the Toolset title. Then select Legend > Create New Legend. This will create a legend of only the tools in that Toolset. Next, go to your properties and modify what data you want to see and its appearance. Then, right-click on the legend and select ‘Add to Toolchest’, choosing the same toolset. This should keep everything clean and organized.

    If this was already your workflow, let us know a little more detail on what isn’t working for you.

    Yes Sir, you can set the zoom in the Layers panel so you only see markups when zoomed into a specific scale threshold. It’s nice when you have a lot of markups in a small area, you can have smaller markups so they don’t overlap.

    I have some customer training to complete before the slower holiday week. I plan to upgrade then. I’m looking forward to deep diving into Cloud and GoCanvas over the break.

    Welcome to the community @stigw

    I’m not sure what type of arrows you’re looking for. If you look at the Properties Panel, or the Properties Bar above the drawing area, you can pick from several different arrowhead styles and customize the size. Not sure if this helps, but keep us posted.

    As always, I’m going to hold off for a little while. I was hoping for 21.7.1 with just bug fixes, so I’m still back a few updates. I did have some students yesterday who had upgraded; they didn’t mention anything in class.

    Some manufacturers have AutoDesk and Bluebeam tools ready to download. If you want to talk about custom tools, we can set up a call so I can put together a proposal. Click here to schedule a call. https://uchapter2.com/contact-us/

    Interesting find. Thanks for sharing. I can see where this would speed up common measurements.

    Glad to hear they were all scheduled appointments.

    I was just building out the schedule for presentations yesterday. I will send it out soon so you can pick a date. Can’t wait to see your full presentation.

    Some companies want linear footage, while others want tonnage. The formula for Tonnage is definitely easier and more consistent. Thanks for circling back @dhwalkellc .

    Proud to still do that. Hopefully, I still have some nuggets you can use. I just have to get all the way through my tips & tricks presentation. 🙃

    They are a utility company laying out underground gas and electric, along with overhead electric. They were flexible on the linestyles, so we got it to work out.
