I’ve done this exact workflow with other low-voltage companies and you’re on the right track. When you use Statuses you can filter the markups list to show certain statuses, however, the other ones still show greyed out. If you use layers, you will always be updating layers and possibly missing or misplaced devices. My suggestion would be a different workflow where you have an ongoing pdf that is constantly updated throughout, but you do a save as when issued so you always have a record of each step in the process to reference. You can flatten it for outside partners if needed, and use overlay to compare differences if there are questions.

The goal I discussed with those customers is that the drawings and markups evolve over time from the sales walkthrough to the as-built drawings. things get moved and updated, but they are always updated in one place to minimize rework.

This isn’t a direct answer, but I hope this helps the conversation to brainstorm a solution!

I know you have to have the parameters listed in the order of operations, but it looks like you already have that correct. What happens when you delete them and start over? I’ve had to do that from time to time.

I’ve also seen some weird things in the latest update. Legends not reporting, text editing in a custom column. Could be a bug messing with several functions.

[Troy DeGroot]

I see it all the time and just figured it was a frequent bug. I’ve never considered who the pdf came from or how it was created.

I don’t use Notes at all so I could be wrong, but I don’t think it’s possible. I’d use a Callout or Cloud+ if possible.

I’m so glad you posted this. I remember struggling with this years ago and giving up! I love you the community here brainstorms as a group, and I learn so much from you all!

Welcome to the community @Jvidraft and great question. I went ahead and moved this question from the JavaScript group to the General Question group. “General Questions” is a better fit and you may find additional helpful tips.

Bluebeam probably views the MVP group the same as the Certified Professionals group… I like how AutoDesk has an “Expert Elite” status you can earn. Not sure what that would entail with Bluebeam. Or maybe that’s the Certified Instructor…

That does seem like a glitch, but why not just turn on the column you’re drawing the information from? Probably means you need multiple legends so they are clean and don’t contain empty cells.

I’ll have to play around with this one David. Thanks for the idea!

[Troy DeGroot]

Yes Sir. Maybe I’ll just be proud I explained it well enough that you caught it. LOL

[Troy DeGroot]

And THAT is why community is important. Thanks guys!

So is the Stapler the same as “Create PDF From” and pointing to the original document?

I hardly ever use the stapler

Been praying since we spoke last week. Glad it went well and she is past that part. So glad you posted for the community to stand beside you and Tammy.

[Troy DeGroot]

Me too. There is always something more to learn!

Thanks for the update @ChrisRiley

I like the idea of multiple custom column files, I guess nobody said all the columns must be in the same custom column file… Good one!
