In addition to sharing my Archicad 29 Work Environment, I also recorded a video discussing how to make sure your migrated files see the Archicad 29 Global Libraries rather than the Archicad 28 Global Libraries when you open them in Archicad 29. Here'...

Yes to all of this. As a sole proprietor, being able to send annotations to myself from BIMx is THE ONLY WAY I can take advantage of this BIMx workflow. It's such an obvious use case. I, the architect, am on site using BIMx to help me do construction...
