Q: What’s the difference between IMAGINiT's "Dependent View Copy" and the OOTB "Apply Dependent Views”?
A: This utility handles view naming, crop regions, splits and more. The utility can apply the dependent views to views that aren't the same scale and it allows you to choose a source view in the dialogue box. The OOTB only works on views of the same scale.

Q: Is there a utility that replaces or updates all sheet titleblocks in a project
