New tools and improvements for PDF drawing review, patch by patch.

Patch 2026.09.16.1

16 September 2026

Create a new PDF from the workspace or File menu: choose paper size, orientation and up to 100 blank pages.
Copy high-resolution snapshots of visible PDF layers and markups, preserve transparency, and paste into another drawing. Optional white removal helps with scanned or white-filled backgrounds.
Save reusable material rates and waste allowances in your account library, then apply matching-unit rates to estimates in other drawings. Existing estimates keep their saved rates.
Find matching symbols across a page range or up to 100 pages. Review each page, exclude matches and add accepted counts in one undoable step. Same printed size and orientation; results require review.

16 September 2026

Cost estimates: price measured quantities and counts with unit rates and waste allowances. Save rates with the drawing and download an estimate CSV.
Find matching symbols: select an example on the page, review same-size and same-orientation matches, then add selected results as editable counts. Results need human review.
Collapse the toolbar to give the drawing more space. Your choice is remembered; use Expand tools or select a category to reopen it.
A compact tool strip replaces unused rows and stacked utility buttons. Scroll arrows keep every tool reachable on narrower screens, with no duplicated tool categories.

15 September 2026

Tools now have one home in four categories: Review, Edit PDF, Build and Takeoff. The overlapping Measure and All tools tabs have been removed.
Measurements, quantities and legends are together in Takeoff. Drawing shapes remain in Review, and Erase content is in Edit PDF. Select and Hand stay available as shared navigation controls.

14 September 2026

Cloud+ now previews the callout before placement. Finish the cloud with Enter, move to preview, click to position the note, and type directly on the page. Enter saves; Shift+Enter adds a line; Escape cancels.
Adjust the text position and leader target using separate handles, even while the cloud and callout are grouped. Use Edit callout text or double-click the note to change its wording; Adjust callout opens its individual controls.

14 September 2026

Cloud+ now creates a closed revision cloud with a text callout. Draw the boundary, press Enter to type your note, then click to position the callout.
The cloud and callout are grouped to move together and undo in one step. Existing saved Cloud+ markups keep their original appearance.

14 September 2026

A dedicated Takeoff tab now sits beside Build, bringing the quantity tools into one place.
Set the scale, measure lengths, perimeters, areas and volumes, use Dynamic Fill, and check radii, diameters and angles.
Count items, renumber counts, multiply selections, deduct openings, define room zones and add legends. Create grouped PDF or CSV summaries and save reusable tool styles.
The compact two-row Takeoff toolbar scrolls horizontally on smaller screens to preserve drawing space.

14 September 2026

Organize your workspace with private folders on Free and Pro. Create and rename folders, choose from eight colors or pick a custom color, and see drawing counts on each folder card.
Select drawings with checkboxes and move them between folders together. Browse All drawings or Unfiled and use search and sorting to find your work.
Deleting a folder keeps its drawings in Unfiled. Moving drawings preserves their edits and saved checkpoints.

14 September 2026

A refreshed website introduces the workspace with clearer product explanations, updated typography and proportions, and illustrated Review, Measure and Build examples.
Public pages now share consistent navigation, colors and branding. The demo includes a Back to home link.
The sample demo lets you explore tools while downloads, printing and personal file imports remain restricted. Create an account to work on your own drawings.
After the seven-day Pro trial, Free keeps basic review tools and up to three saved drawings. Pro adds the full measurement and takeoff tools.
Expanded product guides and search information make Redline easier to discover and understand.

14 September 2026

Draw or type a signature, save it privately to your account, and reuse it on your drawings. Manage saved signatures from the Signature button or Markup menu.
Move and resize placed signatures like other markups, and undo placement in one step. Signatures are editable marks, not certificate-based digital signatures.
Signature storage and PDF downloads require an account in the demo.

13 September 2026

Upload PDFs directly from your workspace, search and sort saved drawings, and continue your most recently saved drawing.
Find tools in Review, Measure, Edit PDF and Build groups. All tools and keyboard shortcuts remain available.
Use Focus view for more drawing space, or follow Help → Quick start guide.
Read patch news on the website. The owner can review customer reports and ratings in the private feedback inbox.

13 September 2026

Select markups with checkboxes, select all matching the list filters, and delete them together. Undo restores deleted markups.
Edit PDF text and objects: select supported existing text, shapes, images and annotations to change or delete them. Complex content and scanned text have editing limits.
Continue editing saved drawings from your workspace.
