- We're now back in good old AutoCAD
and we're back in our GF 1031 Southeast Madison,
rev one complete drawing.
Now in the previous video, I showed you how to mark
up the exported out DWF file using auto desk design review.
So once that DWF is marked up,
you can then send it back to the originator
in AutoCAD and use a thing called the markup set manager.
Now, as I stressed previously in previous videos,
I'll make sure that you've got an unmarked
up DWF available in the library for you to download
and test this with your Autodesk design review,
once you've got it installed.
So don't worry about the marked up DWF and things,
you'll have a nice, pristine DWF
as if you've just exported it out of AutoCAD.
I'm going to go and find the marked up one now,
so I'm going to go to the view tab on the ribbon in AutoCAD,
and in the pallets panel right up here, top right.
That one there, you want markup set manager.
I'm just going to move the markup set manager pallet
over here to the right, so that we can see the markups.
And all I do is I click on open here and go to open,
I know that mine is on my desktop,
there's my desktop icon,
and there's my little GF 1031 Southeast Madison,
rev one complete DWF.
When I open that up, what'll happen is if I expand this
now, you can see there's my rest rooms config note,
and there's my preliminary stamp there.
So they're listed as markups
in that particular markup in the DWF.
If I now just right click over this,
and go open markup DWF, that'll open up the DWF file.
But if I right click over this one
that has a little sheet next to it,
I can and open the sheet, watch what happens.
You'll see there when I open the sheet,
that all those markups,
when I move into the drawing appear, how cool is that?
So I've now got a marked up DWF in my AutoCAD desktop apps.
So all these markups are now showing in the drawing.
Now I'm only touching the surface here,
I could run a three day course
on DWF files, design review, et cetera.
And what we've got here now is the markups that
have come back from the person who was reviewing the DWF
in Autodesk design review.
So what I can do is I can select each of these like so,
I can change the markups status like so,
I'll say that that one's done,
and preliminary stamp,
change the status there to done as well.
Now they're both done, so once I've done that,
I can now close the markup set manager,
and make the necessary changes to the drawing,
save it as the next iteration of the DWG,
go back to output and output again,
to another DWF, the next DWF along in the project.
So with the appropriate naming philosophy,
and revision philosophy and file naming and so on,
you can generate an audit trial
of DWGs and DWFs with the appropriate markups
and everything.
And it means that you can go back to a specific DWF
and go, oh, that was the markups at that revision,
did we do all of the markups?
You can then have a sanity check,
and go back to each subsequent DWF.
So that's how clever using design review,
the DWF file format and AutoCAD is, it allows you to review
and collaborate on projects quickly and easily.
I'll just hit a escape now,
just to lose that little drop-down menu there,
and what you can do now is you can save this drawing out,
and if you want to, go and download that pristine DWF file
and start messing around reviewing it, in design review
and then watch it come into the drawing.
Make sure you have a drawing open when
you use the markup set manager on the view tab here though,
otherwise it's a bit more difficult to open a file.
So you can just have a blank default drawing open
if you want to, but you won't be able to open a file
from the markup set manager here,
if you haven't got a drawing open.
So make sure you've got a drawing open to do it.
I'm just going to close the markup set manager now,
by clicking here on the little cross,
and our drawing is ready to go for the next revision.
