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!

Hi all,

With the EOL of Studio Prime coming at the end of the year I was wondering if there was a plan to create something that gives users essentially what Studio Prime is already providing, the ability to share "Full Access" to all studio data within a selected group of users, while being able to leverage this with the Studio API.

The implementation would mimic the soon to be deprecated Studio Prime while granting "Admin" access to each user in that studio prime space.

This would put all studio data into a "pool" that would allow any users in the group to access, edit or delete any Studio data that is created by any user within the group, and grant access to said data through the Studio API.

• For example lets say I'm in a group with 2 other users (User 1 and User 2) and I create a studio session and take vacation for the next two weeks, since that Studio Session is tied to a workflow, we can't advance that workflow through the API for 2 weeks without transferring ownership of that session to either User 1 or User 2, if the workflow involves updating, or finishing that Studio Session.
  • With Studio Prime we could overcome this by granting Admin access to all 3 users, then they could interact with each others Studio Data like they were all owners of that data, allowing User 1 and User 2 to manage that Studio Session I created at anytime, through the Studio Prime API.

Currently you can grant another user access over a Studio Session with the "Full Control" permission, but from my investigation that control does not allow you to manage that session via the Studio API.

Currently, when the bounding box of a polylength measurement is larger than the space the markup is in, the measurement won't be considered to be inside a space, and the space-information won't show up in the Markups list.

When the polylength is split, the bounding boxes fit inside the space and the measurements are considered to be inside a space.

This causes the user to have to either a) split all polylength measurements, or b) not use polylength tool as intended and only use it to create single lines (or use the "length" tool). Which causes a lot of extra work when working with spaces and polylength measurements of varied shapes.

I would like Bluebeam to be able to recognize the polylength measurement being inside the space, even when the bounding box is larger than the space, if the measurement itself is 100 % inside the space.
