Wouldn't it be great to have a short key (TAB) to rotate any object 90 degrees clockwise?

I use bluebeam alot to do building checks, using prefixed dimensions (rooms) but also to Sketch/draw alternative plans with markup tools. now everytime i want to rotate an object i have to go to the properties of that object to type the rotation angle.

I shouldn't be hard to program this short key script imho.

anyone else who would like this function or created some bypass allready?

Currently, we see that Revu 21 has integration with ProjectWise Explorer 2023. However, we are upgrading to PW 2024 and noticed that we lost the integration. How soon will this feature be available?

Hopefully this integration will continue to be supported as new versions of PW Explorer are released. Thanks.

When reviewing and commenting on PDF's, many times you have multiple people reviewing the document and making comments (GC, Architect, Engineer, Consultant, Subcontractor). One can look at the mark-up list at the bottom to know who made the comment, but it would be nice to have a "title block" that could be used for a call-out mark-up to let the other people reviewing the post know who made the comment. I many times will add my own title block with a date to allow someone to quickly read and know who made the comment and the date instead of having to search in the mark-up list. (Example: "ZA 5/5/25:" ).

**Another reason for this title block is when the markups are flattened. Based on my experience, when someone flattens a document with mark-ups, those mark-ups don't populate at the bottom mark-up list anymore.

The ideal situation would be that it could be quickly adjustable and able to be used as a "default" mark-up as required.

Attached is a screenshot example.

Hi Everyone. I have some news that I think will interest everyone on this thread. I am about to kick of a beta test of Revu 21 ARM 64. If you are using an ARM device and want to get a chance to try out the latest version of Revu 21 for ARM devices you can sign up for the beta here.

This test is open to anyone using ARM devices. This will be a great opportunity for you to communicate directly with the team working on this version of Revu. If you have any questions about signing up you can reply here or rech out to me at beta@bluebeam.com . Thanks!

Most of the time the pdf file that I need to upload to a Session needs the filename changed. It is really annoying to have to Save As, find a temporary local location to save to, rename the file, add the file to the Session, then clean up the duplicate local files.

Please add a pop up when adding a file to a Session to confirm or edit the filename. This should happen when you right click on a file tab and select the Add to Open Studio Session action.

Users with full control Session permissions should be allowed to rename files in the Session after they are added.

I hope you're doing well. I'm reaching out because I have a couple of suggestions that I think could make Bluebeam even better.

First off, I've been really impressed with the new ARM-based Windows machines, especially those using the Snapdragon Elite X. They’re powerful, have great battery life—kind of like MacBooks in that regard. It got me thinking about how amazing it would be if Bluebeam was optimized for these devices.

ARM-based machines are definitely on the rise, and they offer a lot of benefits like better performance with lower power consumption. Imagine being able to use Bluebeam all day without having to worry about charging! Plus, with more people adopting these devices, it seems like a great opportunity for Bluebeam to lead the charge in innovation and expand its user base.

On a related note, I really miss having Bluebeam on my Mac. I remember when it used to be available, and it was fantastic. The Mac community is growing, especially among professionals in fields like design, architecture, and engineering. Bringing Bluebeam back to Mac would cater to a lot of users who are looking for reliable and powerful software.

Offering Bluebeam on both Windows and Mac would also make it easier for those of us who use both platforms. It would streamline our workflow and make collaboration much smoother. Plus, it would definitely set Bluebeam apart from the competition.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. I really believe that optimizing Bluebeam for ARM-based Windows machines and reintroducing it on Mac would be a game-changer. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this.

Kind Regards

You know what, I just figured it out:
Create an object like a callout or cloud+ with the properties you want
Right-click and add to Tool Chest
Right-click on the tool chest icon that was just created and change from "Drawing Mode" to "Properties Mode"

Luke Prescott,

I don't think it needs to be too complicated. Basic bullets and numbered lists would really add to the functionality. Being able to have multilevel lists is key though. Across different software, I think Google Slides sets a nice balance in terms of how much text editing capability the platform allows without getting too complicated. Key features include line spacing, space before and after paragraphs, lists and indentations, sub and superscript, and a simple ruler for tab adjustments.

A couple other suggestions:

• Can you please make the filled arrow head not dependent on having a background colour in the text box, and make it pointier?

• Can leader lines and arrows be separated from the outline around a text box? I often want to adjust a leader line thickness but that forces me to have an outline around the text box.

• We also need an angular dimension option, not just linear.

Thanks!
