MarkupX Projects

MarkupX Projects (.MX) are a proprietary file type that captures the status of each markup as designated by the user. After a user imports a PDF into the MarkupX Navigator and starts marking issues as Completed, adding Comments, or Changing the Status, the user must then save that session to capture their progress and create the .MX file type. This .MX file can then be opened in a future AutoCAD or Revit session to enable the user to work where they left off. The .MX file can also be opened in the MarkupX Review software.
