Hide items from Markups List, but leave them visible in the PDF view?

Matthew

Hello Everyone,

Frequently, the plans we receive have a lot of existing markup from the engineer, etc. These are artifacts visible in both the PDF view and the Markups List. Is there a simple way to hide these from the Markups List but leave them visible in the PDF?

These are not relevant to my workflow in the Markups List and they are distracting as the list re-expands them and there can be 1,000s of them. I still need to see them on the relevant page, so just hiding them isn't a workable solution. I've tried the "Filter List" option, but that also doesn't seem to satisfy this need.

Thank you

If you do not need to interact with those markups, you might try flattening them [Document → Flatten]. Make sure to check Allow Markup Recovery (Unflatten) to regain access in the future.

The markups are part of the PDF and data in the Markups List is gone. To reverse this, Document → Unflatten.

Thanks @Ryan Arbuckle , I'll give that a shot. They really slow down the screen refreshes, etc when you have so many of those coming in with the document.
