This is good @david-cutler my favorite is to show estimators you can undock your Markups List to display on another monitor. This saves a lot of real estate in the drawing area.

[Troy DeGroot]

I’m not positive what you have here and what you are exporting. From the markups list, you can export on CVS, XML, or PDF file types to provide a summary of the markups on a drawing. The Custom COlumns that you export through the tool manager will export only the custom columns, not the data inside them, so you can import them into other drawings if needed. This is also an XML file. I’m not sure where you have the .BAX coming or going. Let me know, I’ll try to help

Thanks, @david-cutler the basic Punch tool import is the only one I’m aware of.. What exactly are you wanting to create with an import?

[Troy DeGroot]

I believe the import just adds them to the existing ToolSet, even if it’s a duplicate. so you would have to clean out the unwanted ones or delete them from the CSV before importing…

[Troy DeGroot]

I’m not sure how to do that the best way, if at all. You could try to draw a line to all the current endpoints. then draw a different line to scale, 5′-0″ off. Then maybe as you nudge the line over the connected lines will follow….. Or just create a custom column for the setback, give a value of 5′-0″ and have it automatically subtract 5′ from every length..

Interesting, I haven’t seen it, but I think others have.

I wanted to test a few options before I responded. I was hoping you could add them as a hyperlink before you uploaded them, but it doesn’t work. It makes sense I guess because Sessions can only have pdf files, so the path to the Profile or ToolSets doesn’t come through. If you can provide the files in a Studio Project first, I think that would be the say to go. Maybe others in the group have found a workaround…

[Troy DeGroot]

If you select all the markups and go to the Measurement Panel, toward the bottom you can change the units setting. You might have to select your tools in the toolsets and make this change for each one before placing any more. or just switch it when you’re done.

Nice, I was so many years in before I found the mirror tool! Grouping just makes it even more powerful

[Troy DeGroot]

I don’t think I’ve ever used that feature. In the past, I have created a new shortcut on my computer and pasted the path to my dashboard on a Studio Project. This way it opens Bluebeam, the Project, and the dashboard all in one double-click.

2I always have to refer back to the blog post I wrote with the steps.

Sounds like a pretty cool workflow, I’d love to see how it works when you’re finished. Sorry I can’t be more help

[Troy DeGroot]

This would be difficult @david-cutler because each one transfers to a different type of measurement tool. The Punch Key import works because they all get the same simple symbol. You’re doing it exactly the way I would do it. I’m not sure if you are incorporating Layers or not, I like to include those everytime also so I can hide some of the clutter.

[Troy DeGroot]

always a good idea to create a visual language with colors.

[Troy DeGroot]

Those who have templates or dashboards open for everyday tasks. Dashboards link to folders of many drawings so it can be a great shortcut to have it open automatically with Bluebeam. It could also be used if someone is working on the same drawings for several days. If you are doing estimates on the same set of drawings every day for a week, you could just have it open… Although it’s also at the top of your Recent Files list too.
