Most of the users do not show the markup tools when editing a DWF. How can I fix this issue as we'd like to use markups when we start using the Vault ECO functions?
The highlighted blue area is what I'm talking about. They have the "standard" tool bar where you can measure, zoom, pan, etc.

How and at what stage in the ECO process are they rying to access the markups? Believe it or not this makes a difference.

I have tried it in Create, Open, Work and Review status.
What is strange is that it works on my machine fine...as long as they are Inventor IDW or DWG's. If I try to markup a AutoCAD DWG or Inventor IPT there are no markup tools. Also this seems to cause issue when going back to view or markup the IDW as now my markup tools will disappear. I have to go back into my Project Explorer or Home and then back into the Change Order before my markup tools will re-appear. This also did not work for the other users.
If it makes any difference I am assigned Change Order Administrator dutes. The others are reviewers, approvers, creators. I thought anyone on the routing list can markup an ECO at any point if it's in their Worklist?
What states can markups get created in?
HI Kenny,
Also make sure you are editing the ECO - not just viewing.

That's what I was thinking. Many users think that double clicking the ECO opens it in EDIT mode. After all this works in virtually every other program known to mankind.
In the Vault world, however, you have to right click the ECO and choose EDIT. Also, they can right click and choose Markup to add markups to an ECO. Currently, once a change order markup has been saved, it cannot be reopened and added to. Sorry, Allen, but this is just weird. What if the engineer forgot a note?... now they have to create a new markup for just that one piece of information.
I'm a huge critic of the markup tools in Change orders, but they is what they is.

Check the Roles for the users or the group that they are in... not positive, but I think they need Document Editor (Level 2) for this? Allan or any other Adeskers care to conform?

Hey Chris,
I have looked into that to make sure they have the appropriate permissions. The group I have them assigned to uses these roles:
Document Editor (Level 2),Document Manager (Level 1),Change Order Editor (Level 2)
Ok... I'll openly admot I'm reaching here.
Try Vault Settings, Change Orders, Set Client Visibility... See if both items on the tab are checked Yes. Not really sure what this does... like I say I'm guessing now.

I haven't looked at this one in a while... are you seeing the same problem as the OP? Same steps to get into the markup tools? Can you post a screen shot of what the users see whan they attempt a markup?

What state is the ECO in when you see this?
Also, what routing roles do the users have on these ECO's? What about group or user roles in Vault?

Thanks Vince! I will give their suggestion a try. For those curious this is the thread he's referring to http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/Vault-General/Markup-amp-Measure-toolbar-missing-in-Vault-preview/m-p/...
Hi all,
with Windows 10 and Vault Professional 2018 and higher we found following solution:
1. Install Autodesk Design Review 2018 Hotfix
2. Launch Windows Registry with Windows Start > regedit
3. Rename the Folder Design Review to _Design Review in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Autodesk\
4. Launch Autodesk Design Review 2018 > right Mouse Click > as Administrator
5. Open the Autodes Design Review 2018 > Options > Setting your profil
6. Launch Autodesk Vault Professiona 2018 right Mouse Click > as Administrator
7. ECO > Tab File - Preview ECO Markup Menu available 🙂
Best regards
Elisabeth Böhm
This can also be solved by setting the shortcut for Vault Client to be Run as Administrator.
