Is it deleting the layer from the prebuilt tool or removing it from the placed markup? I know layers don’t work with Studio Sessions, so even if layers are built into the tools they will not create or assigned to layers in the Session. Just an idea or box to check for possible issues.

💯💯 When I work with companies, it’s a big priority of mine to not only teach the value of the data but try to uncover ways of using it between other departments throughout the livecycle. It seems like someone downstream is always looking for the data previously provided. I love that all the data is a byproduct of simple markups.

If you go to the Sets pulldown > Print Set > you should be able to select Current Set and get only the most current without the superseded. I just going off memory, I’m don’t have a set built right now to reference.

I think what happened here is the view was rotated rather than rotating the entire page. I used to use the wrong rotate all the time.

WooHoo, so excited to have you and your first-class wisdom in the group. I look forward to seeing you more and more as you build your points to earn your Brainery Black Belt! 🤣

This year was heavily focused on introducing a new product called “Bluebeam Cloud”. There have been some struggles over the years with the iPad functionality and reliability, so they have built a web-based solution for on-site workflows including RFIs, Punch walks (Snagging lists), and submittals. They have a solid start, but they will be the first to tell you they have a ways to go.

I heard amazing feedback from all the presentations in our Brainery group and it was the thrill of my week to meet them all in person. @lizlarsen @Doug McLean @Shanoc @ekbrayley @mechave and others I’m forgetting in my lack of sleep. I even heard @Vince name brought up a couple of times.

I’m not doing any updates until after XCON!! 🤣

[Troy DeGroot]

Yeah, typically things like that are on sort of a coordinate system with a x, y distance from a center point.

If you built a custom line style starting with a text element, then a dash with nothing after it, what happens? I’m not at my computer, but I’m curious.

I know you have a handle on custom lines @Vince but for others, I try to build unique looking tools by color and line style so I visually identify it. I like to turn off all labels and text. Doesn’t work for everyone.

Interesting. In a Studio Session, you can only upload PDF’s, but I haven’t tried attaching a different format as you did. I would assume because you’re not checking out or checking in like a Studio Project it wouldn’t save. I’m kind of surprised the attachment even stayed attached. In most situations, I teach students to use Projects for everything and only send documents to a Session if multiple people absolutely have to work at the same time. Even then I only send individual sheets, not a whole set.

I don’t think this helps you, but this is a place to chat through ideas. Thanks for posting @ChrisRiley

Thanks for confirming!

Love this post @lizlarsen lots of info for all of us to learn from each other.

When I deploy custom profiles for a customer, I always recomend a secure folder for everyone to map to for all the same reasons you mention. The caviot to that, is I always recomend an internal user group so progress by one is progress for everyone. This means they don’t loose their personal tools! If the personal tool is a Must Have, add it to My Tools and it won’t be lost. Just as you mension, I build the custom statuses into the profile for distribution. The problem is, the Custom Statuses in the document override the profile, which is really confusing for everyone whether you’re a new user or used it for several years.

How do I fix this problem?

1. I export the Custom Column file from the profile and save to a network location. (Statuses are part of the custom columns)
2. Used my extremely limited scripting skills to create a custom button to import the Custom Column file.
3. Save document.

Hope this thread helps! As I think about all the info packed in, there is a lot of gold here! Thanks again @lizlarsen

If it’s working correctly, you should only have to update the source files, not each cell. There are plenty of opportunities for failure, so it might not seam as easy.

Keep us posted, I loved to hear the solution

I try to listen to the community and report things. Especially when I can recreate the issue and share it with them.
