Re: Feature Request: Overlay/Compare Drawings with Different Scales
Looking at your results, it appears that the drawings did not resize to a matching scale. Most likely because the three points you selected were not the EXACT same three points. Two steps to get the best results is make the three points as far apart as possible and turn on "Disable Line Weights" to get thin lines. This will make it easier to ensure you're picking the corner and not a hatch pattern line.
Note that "Disable Line Weights" affects the program, not just the one file and affects the printed document, too. So be sure to turn it off when done.
Re: AGTEK markups import
if you do an Export markups it saves that file as a .bax file, so I would imagine that would need to be the file format if you wanted to import any markups.
Somehow, I don't see Batch Slip Sheet working too well.

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.
