Use the Markup Set Manager to view and manage markups. To view the markups in your designs, load the markup set into the Markup Set Manager.

A markup set is a group of markups contained within a single DWF or DWFx file. When you load a markup set into the Markup Set Manager, the tree view displays each marked-up drawing sheet and its associated markups.

In the Markup Set Manager, you can select individual markups, and you can view their status and other details, such as the creator of the markup, the date and time that it was created, and any comments associated with the markup.

You can create other types of markups that will also appear in the DWF or DWFx file: text blocks, redline geometry, dimensions, and stamps. However, only comments have a status and are shown in the Markup Set Manager.

With Autodesk Design Review, you can modify DWF or DWFx files in the following ways:

• Reorder sheets within a DWF or DWFx file
• Add sheets to a DWF or DWFx file
  NoteMarkup Set Manager displays the Sheet status (in Detail view) as “File is missing”, if you add sheets using Autodesk Design Review. The reason is that the newly added sheets are not listed in the DSD file.
• Delete sheets from a DWF or DWFx file

Markup Set Manager will reflect the new order for every markup set that has sheets added to, deleted from, or rearranged from within Autodesk Design Review.

Any sheets that were added to the DWF or DWFx file in Autodesk Design Review are listed in italics. When you double-click either a sheet that was added in Autodesk Design Review or a markup for that sheet, that sheet in the DWF or DWFx file will open in the DWF file viewer.

If you try to load a markup set by opening a DWF or DWFx file that does not contain markups, you will not be able to open the DWF or DWFx file in AutoCAD. You can, however, open the DWF or DWFx file in the DWF file viewer. While loading a DWFx file, if the file is digitally signed you will be notified that making changes to the file will invalidate the attached digital signature.

When you double-click a model space markup in the Markup Set Manager, the original drawing file opens in model space and reverts to the view rotation that was current when the drawing was published. If you then change the view rotation, the markups will not be shown in the drawing until you double-click a model space markup and revert to the published view.

Using the Markup Set Manager, you can specify what is displayed in the drawing area. You can show or hide the originating drawing file, the reviewed DWF or DWFx file geometry, and the redline geometry. This allows you to view the redline geometry, turn it off to make the changes in your drawing file, and then view the redline geometry again in AutoCAD to check your corrections.

Following are some recommendations for viewing markups:

• Change the drawing’s model space background color to a light shade of a color other than black. This action enables you to view the DWF or DWFx geometry in AutoCAD when the marked-up DWF or DWFx file is returned to you.
• Put the drawing files you used to publish the DWF or DWFx file in the search path. This action ensure that you can load the corresponding drawing sets for a marked-up DWF or DWFx file.

  Set the search path using the Files tab in the Options dialog box.

Procedure

To open the Markup Set Manager

• Click View tab Palettes panel Markup Set Manager.

To open a markup set

1. To open a markup set, do one of the following:
   • Click File menu Load Markup Set.At the command prompt, enter opendwfmarkup.
   • In the Markup Set Manager, click the Markup Set list control. Click Open.
2. In the Open Markup DWF dialog box, select a DWF or DWFx file that contains markups. Click Open.
   NoteIf you open a digitally signed DWFx file, click Open File in the DWFx - Digital Signature Warning dialog box.

   The Markup Set Manager displays the markup set in the tree view.

   Use Autodesk Design Review to open a DWF or DWFx file that does not contain markups, as AutoCAD will not load non-marked up files.

To view details of an individual markup in the Markup Set Manager

1. Click File menu Load Markup Set.At the command prompt, enter opendwfmarkup.
2. In the Open Markup DWF dialog box, select a DWF or DWFx file that contains markups. Click Open.
   NoteIf you open a digitally signed DWFx file, click Open File in the DWFx - Digital Signature Warning dialog box.

   The Markup Set Manager displays the markup set in the tree view.

3. In the Markup Set Manager, click an individual markup node.

   The Markup Details area in the lower portion of the Markup Set Manager displays details for the selected markup.

To open a drawing sheet with markups from the Markup Set Manager

1. Click File menu Load Markup Set.At the command prompt, enter opendwfmarkup.
2. In the Open Markup DWF dialog box, select a DWF or DWFx file that contains markups. Click Open.
   NoteIf you open a digitally signed DWFx file, click Open File in the DWFx - Digital Signature Warning dialog box.

   The Markup Set Manager displays the markup set in the tree view.

3. In the Markup Set Manager, double-click a drawing sheet or markup node.

   If you double-click a markup node, the drawing sheet that corresponds to the markup opens in the drawing area. You must have the original DWG file from which the marked-up DWF or DWFx file was created to view the associated drawing sheet.

   NoteTo view markups in the drawing area — visual style and SHADEMODE must be set to 2D Wireframe.

To show or hide DWG geometry for drawing sheets with associated markups

1. Click File menu Load Markup Set.At the command prompt, enter opendwfmarkup.
2. In the Open Markup DWF dialog box, select a DWF or DWFx file that contains markups. Click Open.
   NoteIf you open a digitally signed DWFx file, click Open File in the DWFx - Digital Signature Warning dialog box.

   The Markup Set Manager displays the markup set in the tree view.

3. In the Markup Set Manager, double-click a drawing sheet node to open the original DWG file.
4. Click the View DWG Geometry button to hide the DWG geometry. You can click the same button again to show the DWG geometry.
   NoteIf you open a DWG file that does not have associated markups or the markup set has not been loaded into the Markup Set Manager, you will not be able to use the following buttons in the Markup Set Manager: Republish All Markup Sets, View DWG Geometry, View DWF or DWFx Geometry, View Redline Geometry.

To show or hide DWF file geometry in the drawing area

1. Click File menu Load Markup Set.At the command prompt, enter opendwfmarkup.
2. In the Open Markup DWF dialog box, select a DWF or DWFx file that contains markups. Click Open.

   The Markup Set Manager opens and displays the markup set in the tree view.

3. In the Markup Set Manager, double-click a drawing sheet node to open the original DWG file.
4. In the Markup Set Manager, click the View DWF Geometry button to show the DWF or DWFx geometry. You can click the same button again to hide the DWF or DWFx geometry.

To show or hide redline geometry (markups) in the drawing area

1. Click File menu Load Markup Set.At the command prompt, enter opendwfmarkup.
2. In the Open Markup DWF dialog box, select a DWF or DWFx file that contains markups. Click Open.

To print a drawing with markups

• In Windows Explorer, double-click a DWF or DWFx file that contains markups. The DWF or DWFx file opens in Autodesk Design Review. You can then print the marked-up DWF or DWFx file.
