    I’ll be very interested to see the answers to this.

    I would like to use sets for ongoing projects but here in the UK there is a major stumbling block – there is no standard naming convention for drawings.

    On housing projects, we get loads of revisions so being able to have the drawings automatically allocated, markups brought forward, latest revisions always at the front of a stack, etc would be a massive help. However, in most cases this would mean ‘renaming’ 100’s of drawings which really isn’t an option.

    Maybe if I could demonstrate how useful sets could be then I might just be able to get some of the housebuilders to update their naming practices???

    All working now – turns out that they gave me a temporary code initially which expired at the end of 2022.

    I seem to recall having the same problem when I first started looking at my drainage workflow.

    Not being able to reference the results of a calculated custom column was also an issue I discovered at that time.

    Yep @David Cutler this glitch is still driving me crazy! It did start in the 20.2.85 update and appears to have been copied into Revu 21.

    Bluebeam have been aware for at least 5 months now but there is still no fix insight.

    The thing here is that we haven’t changed anything – it is purely the Microsoft update that is causing all of the issues.

    @David Cutler the worrying thing is that they are not new workflows! Instead, they are things that have worked for a while (and in the case of my spreadsheet – years) and are really only using the basic core functions so I really don’t understand how an update can make them go that badly wrong.

    Not learning anything about Revu today unfortunately @David Cutler – instead I’m wasting my time with Microsoft trying to fix the problems that their latest Excel updates have caused. 😫

    It’s getting a bit boring now @David Cutler – having to correct the disappearing layers costs time that I don’t have and it’s been going on too long with no end in sight.

    Plus, it’s hardly a glowing recommendation for Revu when every time I tell someone how good it is, I have to also add the proviso that certain bits don’t work properly!

    I did chase a while ago @David Cutler but was just told that it would be fixed in the next update – not very helpful!

    It is rather baffling @David Cutler

    Thanks @lizlarsen

    I’ve got Revu 21 and University has been working fine for the last month or so. I think the first time I used it it was a case of simply clicking on the link under the Help menu.

    But for some reason I am now being asked for an Access Code.

    Thanks for sending the code from XCON but I think I’ll get on to Bluebeam directly to get this sorted out.

    All good ideas @David Cutler – no doubt I will work through them all to see what works best.

    Hi @Liz. I tend to work with multipage files as @David Cutler does.

    For measuring groundworks this is typically somewhere between 5 and 50 pages at a time. However, the workflow that I am looking at now is for Brickwork and Scaffolding and may involve in excess of 500 pages if I want to keep all of the information in one location. Not every page would need a form though. There are probably 5 to 10 drawings per housetype and only one form would be needed for each of these types.

    The great thing about using Power Query is that it can pull information in from different sources. This means that if I can get the forms working, I could merge and export that data to one csv file and then have another one for the markup list info.
