Love it @lizlarsen Thanks for sharing! Don’t underestimate the value of your “mistakes” in the video. Showing things break and how to fix them has way more value than everything working and not knowing why.

Maybe my bias toward multiple pages in a Dashboard rather than scripting layers is actually my lack of JavaScript comprehension. 🤣

I’m really pulling at straws here, but if you go to the Hyperlink Panel you could Edit Action and paste the Root folder into the front of the path…. For each one… I know….

Maybe there could be a script for that @lizlarsen

[Troy DeGroot]

This is great Doug, the only thing I might add is once you have the markup placed, right-click > Edit Action and link the actual change order document. Makes for a more visual file cabinet.

@Doug McLean What are you trying to automate? I’ve seen lots of digital dashboard strategies, here is what I’ve always done:

1. Create a template project folder structure, Saved on your network.
2. Save the Template Dashboard in the root directory of that project.
3. Create all the links, and make sure all your links are set to Relative.
4. When a new project comes in, make a duplicate where you save your project data, whether that’s a network location or Studio Project. All the paths should remain if you move the entire thing together.

I saw a video a year ago using javascript to turn layers on/off on a dashboard. I didn’t really understand why they took that approach. It’s a lot easier to create several pages that look different, than to script hiding things on one page.

I’d love to hear what ideas you guys picked up from @mechave presentation. Digital Dashboards are one of my favorite things to do in Bluebeam.

Not that I’m aware of @sdryan

Welcome to the group and thanks for being here, I look forward to learning from you.

I could certainly build any tools you might be looking for, just go to the contact us menu at the top and schedule a free introduction call.

@dsperg I was digging through some of my old notes looking for tips & tricks for an upcoming webinar and found this one. Let me know if this helps.

Select several markups, holding the Shift key select several pages in the thumbnails, right click, and add markups to selected pages. All markups will copy to the selected pages.

I do miss that middle grip from AutoCAD. Unfortunately, I don’t think we have that option. Great suggestion to developers. Thanks for being in the group @mikeceilingsystems-com

I get asked all the time if there’s a way to remove the door from the wall area. 😂

[Troy DeGroot]

Telling isn’t teaching. Good choice, and very well done.

[Troy DeGroot]

Thanks @David Cutler

There are some great users here in the community. Don’t be afraid to ask your questions and share examples here in the Brainery.

[Troy DeGroot]

You might convince me @lizlarsen we’ll see. 🤣

[Troy DeGroot]

@David Cutler you need to become a celebrity like @Doug McLean once your manager sees the industry paying attention, he will too. 😂🤣

[Troy DeGroot]

Good visual @lizlarsen “just like the export CSV window”. I’d like to see a list of all the ToolSets, Line Style files, Hatch Pattern files, Custom Column files, Export Configs, Stamps, PDF Templates, Email Templates, and Saved Filters in the Markups List. This way you know exactly what’s included. As someone who builds and shares Profiles all the time, it’s frustrating to never know for sure what’s included when saving a Profile. You have to go to each one of these locations and make sure to save to profile before you save the profile.

[Troy DeGroot]

I sometimes use a * or _ to sort them to the top, but that doesn’t always work if the person in CAD used the same idea.

[Troy DeGroot]

I just make sure I show those users how to save them locally.
