OK. This is the last exercise in your AutoCAD 2009 course. Now what we're looking at now is a DWF of our A3 Metric Landscape tab from previous sections. You'll recognize the dimensions there and the Nuts and Bolts and things. So what we're going to do using a product called Autodesk Design Review we're going to review some objects on the drawing, such as dimensions and where objects are placed. We're going to save the DWF and then open it up in AutoCAD and make changes to those particular reviews that have been made in Autodesk Design Review. Now Autodesk Design Review is a free product, you can download it for nothing and distribute it around your organization. The website you need to go to is www.autodesk.com backslash DWF and you can sign up to receive regular e-mails about the development of the DWF Autodesk as well. So let's have a look at Design Review. The good thing about Design Review is it allows you to add revisions and measure objects on the drawing. So let's put another Review Dimension on the drawing, similar to what we did in previous exercises, that's using this one here. So I can click here and I can measure a length. So I click on length and the length I want to check is this one here, so I go from here and its just placing a dimension and then to here. But you only select the two origin points, so there's my review there, my dimension 25. So what I might want to do now, I might want to edit that Markup but I'm not going to, what I'm going to do is I'm going to leave that there and what I'm now going to is put a revision around that particular Markup. So if I now click here for a call out and what I'm going to do I'm going to go for a Rectangle callout Revision Cloud which allows me to place a Revision Cloud around the dimension like so and there's my callout there. So I'm just going to pop that in there like so. As you can see I can float that around anywhere on the drawing, so I'm going to pop it there. And my callout is going to say, Review 25 Millimeter Dim, let's say by Today. So we've given them a deadline and we've asked them to review that dimension. So that is now done and as you can see there I can click on it and select it and that Markup property is there. What I'm going to is change that to For Review, like so and that then highlights. So that is available for review. So I now save the file as a different DWF, so I go File, Save As and in the same folder notice, Section 17 Plotting your Drawing there, I'm going to give it underscore Rev 1. So I've not got a revision trail going on. So this is Revision 1, so I save that and then what I need to do is I need to go into AutoCAD, so I'm just going to close Autodesk Design Review, I'm not in AutoCAD and I've opened a blank drawing. The reason I open a blank drawing is you can't use the DWF Markup Manager, the Red Line Markup Manager if you haven't got a blank drawing open. Now the easiest way to open up a DWF through AutoCAD to look at the Markups that have been made in Autodesk Design Review is to go to the Menu Browser, click on the File Option here and you can load up a Markup set. It's easy to see, because it's got a little Red Revision Bubble on it. So we click Load Markup Set and I've previously looked into Section 17 plotting Your Drawing and as you can see it remembers where I looked last for a DWF file. I want this one here 1702 A3 Landscape Revision 1 that we created earlier and now all I'm going to do is just open it up. Now the good thing is it opens up the Markup Set Manager here. Now as you can see on the Markup Set Manager, there's my DWF file with the Red Vision Cloud on it, but what it also shows me here if I click on the Plus sign is all the reviews that were made. So there's the Review 25 Millimeter Dimension by Today and there's two dimensions already on the drawing that are shown for review as well. Sow hat I need to do is actually physically open the drawing with the Markups on it. So what I do, I double click on A3 Metric Landscape here and that opens up the drawing and I can just move the Markup Manager to one side, but look there's the Markup that have been made. So what I can do now if I look in the Model tab here, the Markups aren't there, their only in the A3 Metric Landscape because that was where the DWF was created from. So what O can do here now, is I can Zoom in and just Pan across slightly and if I click on this Revision Cloud like so, nothing happens. It all has to be done in here, in the Markup Manager. So if I click here, that is my Review By Today, the Markup status is for review, so I'll click there, click on the Down Arrow, I can't mark that, that revision has been done. So that's been reviewed. I get a green tick in the Markup Manager. Dimension 25 there if I click on it, at the moment Markup status none, but if I click on the Down Arrow again, I can review it, it's done. Notice these are gradually disappearing as well. So if I click here I'll also mark that revision up as done, so there now, all completely done, so I can close the Markup Set Manager. So now what I'll do, I'll close this here and everything disappears, the reviews have been made, the job is done. What I do now is I go back to my A3 Metric Landscape tab like so and I would then revise this by re-plotting it to DWF and then looking at the DWF again through Autodesk Design Review and thus the cycle goes on.
