Markup References

You can add references to a markup to create a two-way relationship between a markup and other project information. This allows your team to easily access any relevant information about a markup.

Here are some examples of what this relationship can look like:

• You can add a reference to another file on a markup and click to open that file directly from a markup.

• If you use Autodesk Build, you can add a reference to an RFI and then open that RFI in the RFIs tool. Then in the RFIs tool, you'll see the markup referenced to it and can click it to direct you back to the document where the markup is located.
