Picking up Markups after

[Anonymous]

CAD people chime in. How do you use the marked up .dwfs? Do you tab between your working drawing and the marked up .dwf? does that seem clumsy? Do you plot out the dwf and pick up the mark ups?

How does a CAD operator handle a marked up dwf? How does it improve their process? Unless someone has dual monitors, seems like they have to tab back and forth between programs. There has to be a better way.

Why wouldn't you just load the marked up DWF into AutoCAD and see the
markups applied to the original DWG?

Scott, I have posted on this before.
We can't bring a DWF in and see the mark up.
Many people have a working drawing, then a sheet that xrefs the working drawing.
So tell me, how do you get a marked up sheet (titleblock drawing) into your working model? Most importantly, with the markups showing. Tell me is something has changed?

To answer the posters question, I use ADR and AutoCAD MEP. I am fortunate to have dual monitors. I load the marked up DWF in ADR in one screen and I open the working drawing in MEP in the other screen. As I complete a mark up I select it and use the pulldown to set is as "Done". If there is simple lines added, I change the color to a yeloow (like a highlighter) so I know it is done. In this manner it is just digital paper.

MBCAD, I didn't even know you could "bring in" a dwf, so until now, we've been using it as digital paper. I'll try though.

As I understand it, you print a sheet (titleblock, etc), then the sheet can be redlined. Then using the MarkUp Set Manager, you can bring that redline into that sheet. The issue I have is that we never put a titleblock on a working drawing so it is useless in my mind. I would like to see the ability to have the redline come into any drawing I want based on scale and an insertion point of some sort. That way the mark up would be in my model and I could simply draft over the mark up and then delete it once done....my dream...
