With regard to item 3, Autodesk does not. Volo View kept the RML separate
from the original source data. Customers quickly found that the underlying
source files had changed and the markups no longer lined up. So the DWF
strategy is to combine the source being marked up with the markups
themselves in one file. This way everyone sees what was reviewed and what
the reviewer's comments were. There are layers to keep them separate. In
addition, the design applications know how to cull the markup items and
apply them to the source files.

1. Am I correct in assuming that the location of area text placed with the
area tool is fixed?
2. Why would Autodesk want to make users edit the registry to eliminate
extra decimal places? Couldn't the program handle this function internally?
3. Does AutoDesk make a product that allows non-CAD savvy people the ability
to do mark-ups and area-take-off on mark-up layers without affecting the
original DWF (for example treat the DWF like an x-ref). I was hoping to be
able to maintain the mark-ups and have the base dwf refreshed with changes.
