Frequently Asked Questions

What is MarkupX?
MarkupX is a set of tools that brings PDF markups directly into your CAD and BIM workflow. Instead of switching between a PDF viewer and your design software, your team can view red lines and revisions as an organized, actionable checklist inside Revit or AutoCAD, and jump to the exact area of the drawing that needs to change with a single click.
What is the difference between MarkupX Automation and MarkupX Exchange?
MarkupX Exchange imports and overlays PDF markups in AutoCAD and Revit, so production teams can locate, review, and address every comment faster. MarkupX Automation goes a step further: it lets users place Revit elements onto PDFs, which can then be inserted into the Revit model with one click. Exchange focuses on markup review and correction, while Automation focuses on element placement and design layout.
Which design software does MarkupX work with?
MarkupX Exchange works with both Autodesk Revit and AutoCAD, bringing PDF markups into either application as an actionable list. MarkupX Automation is designed for Revit, enabling one-click insertion of Revit elements placed on PDFs. If you are unsure which tool fits your environment, a MicroCAD specialist can review your workflow and recommend the right option.
Can I review markups without Revit, AutoCAD, or PDF software?
Yes. The MarkupX review tool works as a standalone application, so reviewers do not need PDF software, Revit, or AutoCAD installed. Reviewers can check markups before all of them are completed, see screenshots of completed markups side by side with the original PDF, and update the status of each markup after review.
Can team members without Revit experience contribute to the design?
Yes. MarkupX Automation allows stakeholders without design software experience to place design elements on PDFs, which are then inserted into Revit with a click. This makes it easier for architects, engineers, contractors, and owners to take part in the design process, while your Revit users stay focused on higher-value design work.
How much time can my team save with MarkupX?
According to MarkupX, teams can save over half an hour per day during the markup and revision process, with time savings of 3 to 5 minutes per markup. When placing Revit families, the savings can exceed 5 minutes per element. Based on these figures, the investment is paid off after about 60 markups when the tool is used by a team member earning $60 per hour.
How does MarkupX help reduce project risk?
Missed or misapplied markups often lead to costly RFIs, change orders, and schedule delays. MarkupX helps prevent this by turning every markup into a trackable item that can be placed, reviewed, and approved. Reviewers can confidently verify that each revision has been addressed correctly before drawings move forward, helping keep projects on budget and on schedule.
