Create a report / schedule / spreadsheet from call out boxes

[John Whyte]

We've got a 'Scope of Works' drawing that is marked up with call out boxes detailing each 'action' a contractor has to take.

We submit these drawings to our contractors, but we also like to submit a spreadsheet to them with each row being an action relating to the drawing so that they can put their price in the cell next to it.

Is there a simple way to say select all call out boxes and generate a spreadsheet from them. At the moment we are clicking into each call out box and then copying that text into the a new cell in a excel spreadsheet - is there a quicker way ?

Yes. You just need to make a worksheet database with the criteria Record Callout is present and call =('Callout'.'Text') to get the text from each callout.
