The Status is applied to the individual markups, not the sheet as a whole, so you would need to update each individual markup on each sheet. I hope I’m understanding your question correctly!

I would try to get all the markups aligned correctly, then use Document Compare or Overlay Pages to know which markups need to be updated. I like using old markups because it’s a direct reflection of scope change justifying the change in your estimate. Also, rather than Paste–In-Place you could import the markups from the old drawing, I’m not sure if it would give different alignment results, but it’s easier and you won’t miss anything in the transfer.

I’ve seen it where hidden or “no print” text in the CAD file will still send over the metadata. You could try to flatten the document before you do any markups.

I’ve also seen the page number show up twice in the label because there were two layers of text on the CAD file.

Within a formula, I will add 0.4 to round up, then set the answer to a whole number. This way .2 becomes .6 and rounds up. If you have .8 it will become 1.2 and round down. I hope this makes sense. One thing to also think about is when to round up. I recently built tools that rounded up each length to a quantity of product units. It was important to assume the waste wasn’t used again. With 12′-0″ J-Channel they needed 3 sticks to cover 30′-0″. So we rounded up there instead of rounding the total linear footage and coming up with 30- 6′-0″ scraps to complete the project.

You could maybe create a blow-up of the area at a larger scale so when you click on the Space it brings you to a larger copy with all your markups. Right-click on the Space in the Spaces panel and select SnapShot, then paste the image onto another page.

Convert to Arc is a great tool for this, but I have run into the same issue. another issue is you have to remember to draw the lines in the correct order (clockwise I believe) so the arc doesn’t invert. One thing you could try is adjusting the sensitivity on Dynamic Fill to see if you get better results.

If I understand this correctly you want to add the markups to a cover sheet in Bluebeam so it exports every time? This is a great idea, just add it to the template file so those items are automatically part of every estimate. Small hinges swing big doors!

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]

To expand on @andrew-veggian comment, you can update the visual properties to not have a background, meaning you only see it when the radial is clicked. You can then use the markup tools to draw whatever background shape you want. This way you have a custom symbol that gets the radial mark when picked. I hope that makes sense!

I tried some of that as well, but once you group them it takes on only one overall hyperlink. At the end of the day, I learned when you’re in a Studio Session, tools with Hyperlinks are no longer available to use. Revu places this hatch pattern over the toolset if they contain hyperlinks. In fact, the entire Hyperlink Panel goes dark when in a Session. So that eliminates the functionality for this customer who’s only working in Sessions. Always learning!

[Troy DeGroot]

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.
