Re: Combine/opening PDFs

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the elaboration!

It really was a 'nice-to-have'-feature and as it stands its a minor inconvenience.

I'm reminded on a daily basis how much the Editor has streamlined our workflow, but everything can be improved by tiny increments :wink:

Re: Combine/opening PDFs

Hello Stefan, Thanks for the reply. Yes, I'm familiar with the Combine tool, I was just wondering about what determined the order, because it seems random. As I do quantity take-off in the concrete construction industry, it would be quite nice if the Editor opened a selection of floor plans from the...

Combine/opening PDFs

Hello! I did a small trial where I renamed a selection of pdf's by numbering them 1 to 10 and tried both opening and combining the selection. The Editor doesn't seem to care about this and opens them in what looks like an arbitrary fashion. So my question is -what determines the order in which the E...

Here I've drawn both a standard Line and a Perimeter line, both at 100% opacity: image.png As is obvious, the Perimeter line is somewhat transparent and places itself behind the actual content of the pdf, while the ...

Re: Color information when exporting comments to a .CSV-file

Hello Stefan,

The hex values would actually be ok if colors are not to be had -as long as I can sort the comments by value, I can grok the colors associated with that particular value after the fact :wink:
