Red Line Markups to autocad

[Wkarkula]

Is there a way to export red line markups created in design review, to be placed in an autocad drawing as seperate text and geometry.

Our IT techs have been taking my dwf floorplans and adding data jack locations and information to them, using design review 2011. Now the floorplans have changed and they want an efficient way to update them.

Thanks,

Bill

Thank you for your feedback.

Please try if this workflow can help you:

1. Open a drawing in ACAD and publish it to DWF.

2. Open the DWF file and add markups in DWF file.

3. Save the DWF file.

4. In ACAD, Load Markup Set.

5. Update your drawing and save.

6. Republish DWF with markups.

Any further question, please let me know.

How do you load markup set...What is the command and process?

I use the command "markup" open the dwf...but thats are far as I can get. (see ScreenShot.jpg) I can't update drawing.

Attached are the two files I am working with. JNS2.dwg is my main file although I had to slim it down to attach. The other file is the one our IT guy marks up and renames, then gives back to me to publish on my web page.

Thanks,

Bill

The command should be OPENDWFMARKUP.

Once you load the markups in ACAD, you should be able to update the drawing if you are the author. While in this time, only the status of markups can be edited.

After you update the drawing, you can use the “Republish Markup Sheets” to publish the new drawing with markups. –See attached image.

If the IT guy want to update markups, they need to update it by opening the new DWF file in ADR.

I open my dwg then use OPENDWFMARKUP to open the dwf with the markups, but see no way to load or update the dwg with those markups.

Thanks,

In the Markup Set Manager palette, right click on any of the markup label, and there should be a command "Open Markup", select it to show the markups.

See attached image.

When I right click on the markup and choose "Open Markup" it opens the dwf in Design Review. But doesn't put the markup in the dwg...?

The problem you mentioned is because the original DWG file's location was changed, or the loaded DWF file was not published from the opened DWG file.

Be sure the original dwg file's location was not moved and the loaded DWF file was published from it.

Hi Spring Ai,

Thanks for your help in this. I am guessing what you mentioned in your last post is the problem I am having. I will try this process over from step 1 some day.

In the mean time we have found a better solution to our process. Instead of using Design Review our IT department has decided to purchase a seat of Autocad LT. Looks like Autodesk gets the $ on this one.

Thanks again,

Bill

It is my pleasure to help you.

The abovementioned solution only updates the .dwf file. Is there a way to export markups from .dwf to .dwg file?
