The Autodesk ® Vault Professional Engineering Change Order markup feature is, at best, limited in it’s scope and size. Even with the ECO window maximized on a 21″ monitor, the markup window space is pretty small. The markup tools are fairly rudimentary and there is very little room for customization. My engineers, in a word, hate this tool. We have all, at one time or another, had cause to use Autodesk ® Design Review for something, and everyone here wishes that tool had been built into the ECO system as the default markup tool. Granted, in the markup window, one can right click and choose Open In Autodesk ® Design Review, but once there,… there is no way to save the markups back to the change order. The benefits of Design Review are the screen size, the markup tools and ability to add comments to those markups, and track completion of them. There is also the ability to create and manage custom symbol catalogs which are not available in the ECO markup window.
This has been bugging me, so I played around until I found a workflow that allows one to use Design Review to create markups, and even modify an existing ECO markup. This is something that could not be done right in the markup screen. Attempts to add markups to an existing file ended with a prompt to save the new markups to a NEW markup file.

So if an engineer missed something, or wanted to add notes to his/her markups the ECO would end up with multiple copies of the markup file with different data on each one. Mass confusion. Here is the fix.
