Callout arrow line thickness resize without adding line around textbox

Good Morning,

I have a product feature that myself and a lot of my coworkers would like to see added to Revu. When marking up a pdf and using the callout tool, I frequently find myself wanting to resize the line thickness for the leader. The problem with the callout function is that the line thickness for the leader is tied to the line thickness to the text box. Most of the time we don't use lines around the text boxes, so the only solution to this is to separate your arrows and text boxes. This comes with the obvious downside that your arrows don't update automatically when you move the text, and it adds clutter to your markups. If there was a feature that separated the line thicknesses for callouts, this would be very useful.

Thanks!

Agree, Pat! Until the feature enhancement wish is granted, we got around this by creating our own standard "callout" markup. The thickness can then be edited independent from the text with a Ctrl+Alt select. This way, you still have the property modification control desired without separating the arrow from text. This prevents the drawbacks described. Yes, it's just a "workaround", but perhaps a better one than what others may be using to get around the issue you outlined :)

Alert attendee log
It would be great be able to see to whom and when the "alert attendee" has been done. Today you can see exactly who and when markups has been accepted but there are no info at all if a markup has been alerted to someone.
Keyboard Shortcuts for Assigning Statuses
It would be a huge time saver to have keyboard shortcuts for assigning markup statuses. Numerous workflows (e.g. QA/QC and design reviews, punch/back-check) involve multiple status changes for markups, and often times there are multiple statuses (or state models) to choose from. On large projects, with 100's if not 1,000's…
