When you search for a detail, put a space between the detail and the page number.I'm looking for 3/S-502, and if you enter this, you get nothing. You type in S-502, and you get the list of all. Next time enter a space between. It will only show that detail. I have not found a way. If they have 13/S-502, it will find the "3" & S-502.3 S-502
3 S-502

Re: Split Area measures
Glad to share @JJones! How about the option to "resume" on polylength or perimeter markups? Do you know that one? Simply right click on the control point that you want to continue on from and select "resume".
Re: Split Area measures
This is a great idea @JJones! My work around at this point is to start by breaking up larger takeoff areas from the start, that way, when (not if), I need to adjust the limits I'm only moving a few points rather than having to start all over again.
Are you aware of the "split" option for your length measurements? While not a clean as you suggested "razor" tool would be it is a great option for breaking longer measurements into smaller sections rather than deleting and starting over.
Re: Feature Request: Overlay/Compare Drawings with Different Scales
The three-point method also allows you to overlay drawings which are at different rotations as well as different scales.
Re: Graphics Issue & I can't see text
I have had the same display issues as the posters above. I fixed it by changing the rendering engine option to software.
Re: Feature Request: Overlay/Compare Drawings with Different Scales
I agree with @Jes Stafford. I’d also add that the Snapshot tool is a great option for overlays. It’s especially useful when you only need to overlay a small section of the drawing with a larger detail or enlarged area.
Re: Feature Request: Overlay/Compare Drawings with Different Scales
You can already do this with the three-point alignment approach to building the overlay.
When you choose Document/Overlay Pages, choose Manual Alignment in the dialog under the Page Alignment drop down.
Re: how do I filter out only my mark-ups to transfer to another PDF
Good details to consider there @Shanoc Halliday . It reminds me of something else to potentially help with this operation… Sometimes it is necessary to SAVE AS the PDF in order to isolate markups that need to be transferred. If you filter markups then delete unwanted markups in a SAVED AS file, you can isolate the markups needed to work with rather than fighting with the markups list functionality limiting its own usefulness with the "clutter" of markups from other Authors.
