Reading or cooking.

My problem is that I tend to read too many textbooks…lol.

I'm happy to just go sit in my garden with a glass of cider and watch the wildlife.

One of my favorites is going for a walk on the beach with my family and then getting an ice cream treat after (I'm thankful to be only 5-10 minutes away from a few beaches).

I go play a game of pool. My brain literally dumps everything else.

To simplify data transfer between Bluebeam and Excel I highly recommend the following.

1. Data from Bluebeam to Excel should be in .CSV format
2. Data from Excel to Bluebeam should be .FDF format
3. A fillable form template file should be created to receive data from Excel or that you match the name of the form fields exactly.

The workflow I suggest in this case

1. Use CSV Summary (next to the filter list on markups list) to export your quantity of assemblies to excel.
   1. This could be done an number of ways either with counts or custom columns just be consistent.
2. Set up an Excel file to act as a template that has a table where you can import the csv data and automatically organize it.
   1. This will likely be a macro enabled excel doc so it can create the FDF file after this step.
   2. There is a way to create a Excel add-in to avoid any macro enabled files but that doesn't seem necessary to do in this case.
3. Now that your data is in the excel table you can use VBA to generate an FDF file that you can import to Bluebeam.

If you want any examples or additional guidance on this I'm happy to help.
