I’d be interested to learn what others are doing also. I have built out custom columns to get a proper CSV file export, Quantity Link of course works best for some cases. I have also established a workflow where the CSV export was then converted to a TXT file to be imported into estimating software. Millwork has a lot of different specifics to it, I’m interested to see what you’ve created.

This is great Doug. I typically tell people to calibrate each sheet picking two points just in case it was printed incorrectly or scanned, but I really like this if you have drawings you trust are accurate, this would save a lot of time! Welcome to the group Doug!

This is a great tip David. Another option would be to select all the markups in the Markup List and delete them, however, your method of flattening would allow others to see the comments that were made so they’re not lost.
Off the top of my head, a few other prep ideas would be:
- Calibrate (of course)
- make sure you have the correct Profile, Tools and custom columns set.
- If using Quantity Link, make sure the connection is made and you’re using the correctly mapped custom tools.
I’m interested to see what ideas others bring to the table.

Chad, I haven’t typically used Buttons, so I’m not an expert, but it seems I’m having the same issue with the hyperlinks not working. If you decide to rebuild things, don’t erase anything and start over, just create the hyperlink rectangle over the button like you did the other text boxes.
