Send markups to the drafter as a redline
Write the open markups as a redline file for whoever draws the changes, then load their answers so each markup shows Accepted or Rejected.
Written for MarkupCraft 0.8. The same help is inside the app: press F1.
Reviewing is half the job; the drawing still has to change. The redline file carries each open markup to the drafter and the drafter's answers carry the result back.
Send
- Open the Tasks tab and open Redline to revision.
- Type the revision the markups are against (for example B).
- Choose Export redline file.
You get a .redline.json file with one item per Open markup: its sheet, where it is (as fractions of the sheet, so a re-plot at another size still lines up, and in points), its words, author and thread, and its task if it has one. Read-only comments from other programs, pictures and legends are left out.
Answers
The drafting side answers each item Accepted, Rejected or Done, with a note, in a .redline-answers.json file. Choose Load answers file… and pick it: each markup gets that status and the drafter's note in its thread, and a task whose markup was accepted or done is finished. One undo step takes all the answers back.
The file format is in docs/REDLINE-FORMAT.md. The CadCraft side (reading the package, accepting or rejecting each item, revision clouds and the log) is built separately.
