Thanks @David Cutler
I’m working on having so many resources, I need to make sure they’re easy to find!

I also ran into this yesterday, the Boundary size I can work with most time because you just have to line up one side of the thick line, it doesn’t have to be associated with anything at all. I was running into an issue where the Fill dot was too big. In full disclosure, I was creating tiny social media buttons for my email signature. 😂

You would have to flatten the markup for that to work. Dynamic Fill is looking for content in the PDF, and the markups are simply overlayed so it doesn’t see them.

Snapshot tool 100% of the time. Because it only takes the linework with a transparent background, it works great for creating custom markup tools from existing drawing content. Great post David!

My IT guy sent me to my marketing guy, who sent me to my graphics designer. After getting the run-around, I just decided to do it myself! 😂

You might try adjusting the Edge Sensitivity in the Dynamic Fill Properties..

[Troy DeGroot]

@vince or @dcutler you could try flattening and then creating a new pdf from that one. maybe then it would be totally flattened.

” but getting too late now.” 🤣

One key is a reason for sure, but it’s more customizing Revu to react to my muscle memory habits.

I think with my basic cheap mouse I don’t get a consistent double-click action, so it doesn’t work half the time. I do like and prefer that method however.

One more thought, your concern about layers turned off not exporting….

If I remember correctly you are exporting your markups list to a CSV file. Turning off the layers is simply a visual thing on the drawings, the markups still exist in the markups list and will be exported. A person can change the export settings to NOT include certain layers, but you wouldn’t do that.

I created the links and exported them, they all come up as broken.

Andrew, I’m also curious if you are getting quantities for rebar along with the concrete with these tools? I recently built some tools to do this, but I’m curious if you have done the same.

[Troy DeGroot]

This was extremely helpful. It also solves a problem for an existing customer workflow. Thank you Andrew.

[Troy DeGroot]

That’s a good one Vince. I’m asked all the time how to remove layers, but you’re the first with a workflow where you are trying to figure out how to keep them. 😂

[Troy DeGroot]

I will typically build a toolset specifically named “Internal comments” and have all those on a specific layer. Then like you said you can delete them, or export them to a record copy to archive.
