New in Autodesk Design Review 2013 13.0.0.82:. Measure 2D angles. You can now measure 2D angles on drawings.
Dynamic stamps. These newly added stamps automatically can include your user name, time, date, and filename to 2D drawings. Customize markup status highlight colors. This new general option enables you to apply custom color highlighting to For Review, Question, and Done statuses. Apply the original scale. You can return a 2D drawing to its originally published scale after a custom scale has been set.
CAD tip # 5510: Question CAD% platform category For markups of CAD files (review cycle using DWF) you can use not only the default internal symbols but also your own user symbol libraries (catalogs). You can easily make your own symbol catalogs.
Just open your drawing containing the blocks (with symbols) in AutoCAD and use the PUBLISH command to convert it to a DWF file. Such 'library' DWF file can be then loaded in Design Review with the command ' Import DWF as Symbol Catalog' (under the stamp icon). In the AutoCAD's Publish dialog select just the Model sheet of your catalog DWG drawing (with inserted blocks). With the 'Publish options' button start the options dialog and in the ' DWF data options' field set the 'Block information' value to: Include. Create a new 'Block template file' (the next line).
In the dialog 'Publish block template' click the 'Scan for Blocks' button and then confirm the blocks (and their properties) for publishing (use the 'Name' property). Confirm the Publishing options (OK). Start the DWF publishing with the Publish button. Load the resulting DWF file into Design Review ('Import catalog' under the 'stamp' tool).
The published blocks can be then simply inserted as activeshape objects into the redlined CAD drawings and then sent back to the authors for re-reading into AutoCAD and performing the requested changes. As a sample of such symbol library you can use the DWF file 'Znacky' (traffic signs) created from the traffic signs drawing from the.
You can download the Znacky. DWF file from the section of the Block catalog.

By February 20, 2007 I’m often asked how to create a custom dynamic stamp by users who have noticed the dynamic stamp capability in Adobe Acrobat software. This tip reviews how to produce your own. Note: Dynamic Stamps were first added in Acrobat 6.
The instructions here are specifically for Acrobat 8, but most of the instructions are the same for earlier versions of Acrobat. Note: The Text Field form tool is required, which means you must use Acrobat Professional to create a custom dynamic stamp. Video Available This tip is also available as a video. Create your own dynamic stamp in Acrobat. Using a dynamic stamp in Acrobat 8 Professional. A dynamic stamp consists of the image of the stamp and a Text Form Field with JavaScript that creates the dynamic information ( Figure 2).

A dynamic stamp consists of the PDF image and a Text Form field with JavaScript. Your dynamic stamp can be stored in one of two locations for Acrobat 8 in Windows:. install directory plugins Annotations Stamps language (see Figure 3). user directory Application Data Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Stamps Figure 3.
Location of the PDF containing the default dynamic stamps in WindowsXP. For Acrobat 6, look in C: Program Files Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Acrobat plugins Annotations Stamps ENU. For Acrobat 7, look in C: Program Files Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Acrobat plugins Annotations Stamps ENU. On Mac OS X, search for “Acrobat User Data” and then drill down to the Stamps folder. Steps to creating your own stamp Step 1 Choose Comments Comments & Markup Tools Stamps Create Custom Stamp. Step 2 Select the file you want to be your custom stamp. The stamp can be in many file formats, including PDF, a graphic (.tif,.bmp,.gif,.jpg,.png,.pcx), a native Microsoft Office document (.doc,.xls,.ppt), an AutoCAD® drawing, or an HTML page.
To see all the possible formats you have available - select File Create PDF From File and check the Files of Type drop-down list. Figure 4: List of file formats that can automatically be converted to an Acrobat stamp Step 3 Create or choose a category and name your stamp. (See Figure 4). Custom stamp with a new category and name When you select OK, your stamp is automatically created in the Application Data directory (c: Documents and Settings login name Application Data Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Stamps). The actual name of the PDF stamp created will be generated by Acrobat. In this example, the file name is mkWXAu6ok-vDmYeXdpd4EB.pdf. (Note: you can rename this file if you want.) To determine which stamp is the one you just created, sort the stamps by date modified.
The newest stamp is yours. Step 4 Open Dynamic.pdf in the Acrobat 8 Acrobat plugins Annotations Stamps language folder and turn to the page containing the automatically-generated text you want, such as Revised on page 1. Step 5 Choose the Text Field tool from Tools Forms Text Field tool.
Select the text field on the stamp and copy it. Form field in the default Revised dynamic stamp and its JavaScript Step 6 Open the PDF file containing your custom stamp and paste the text form field, which includes the JavaScript to display the dynamic information. Step 7 Save the PDF file.
You now have a dynamic custom stamp. Final custom stamp. I have a coworker that recently joined our company. He mentioned that at his previous job he would use Acrobat to “stamp and seal” oficial documents by simply inserting the stamp which was size-locked and “sealing” the document by embedding the stamp in the document using a “seal” button on adobe. The date would show up as shown in this tutorial. I have been trying to replicate this, but all I’ve found is stamping and signing which makes more sense to me since is a legal document but it does involve more steps; however, my coworker pointed out that it was a matter of 3-clicks to “stamp and seal” a document. Does this ring a bell to anybody?
To add more clarification to this super fun stamps game I’ve been trying to play for the better part of 2 or 3 days now, going to try to blurt this out quickly so I can get dinner. Here is a solution to adding all the stamps you used to have into new Acrobat (as the whole “just copy the file into the Roaming Acrobat Stamps folder” didn’t do anything for me) in Acrobat, create a new custom stamp, with whatever, this results in the crazy file name in the user stamp folder. Take your old stamps file, rename it to this file name, (and put into the Title field of that acrobat properties the Name of the Stamps you’d like them to be contained under, this will be what shows up when you bring up the stamp tool.
Hi Kim, Here is a link to a more recent tutorial on this subject: In the custom calculation script, you can change the format to: event.value = (new Date).toString; AFDateFormatEx(“h:MM tt, mmmm dd, yyyy”); But, just remember that it was setup this way so that there aren’t any issues with consistent display of the text in the form field (i.e., the form field is large enough to display the number of characters in a month). Thanks, Lori.
I have recently upgraded to ver. 9 and am having a problem with a customized stamp and inserted text. In ver 8 i was able to add text w/o having to add a text BOX. I added a text FIELD and was able to set the properties for it. Here is what the stamp looks like INSTR.: CREF: COURSE: Hi Jan, Unfortunately you cannot have interactive elements in a custom stamp after it has been placed on the PDF. You can however, try some of the options mentioned in Thom’s tutorial here: Thanks, Lori.
We really need to be able to make custom stamps that will atuomatically fill in dates, times, and user names similar to PDF stamps that read system date/ time/user info and fill in. The whole process of creating custom stampls in ADR is in my opinion way too cumbersome. If I need to get outside, non cad folks to use ADR as a markup tool, it is almost impossible to explain to them how to create or send them custom stamps. For example, a simple approval stamp with 'Approved,' 'Approved as Noted' and 'Resubmit' checkboxes now requires at least (3) separate custom stamps (one for each checkbox marked) and if there is a date to be filled in one must manually place a piece of text and drag it into place - same with signature. Then, if stamp is repositioned, then you have to go back and reposition the signature and date text bits as well. This should be much simpler, and stamp creation should not involve dwf publication with block info, etc so non-cad people can easily create their own stamps.
