Revu Synchronize View Changes
For the next product update can you please add an option when editing PDF's in bluebeam sessions that allows you to choose which tabs you want to Synchonize a view with. For example, I tend to open 3-6 separate PDF drawings in a bluebeam session on multiple monitors. When I select Synchronize View all 6 pdf views move when I zoom and pan on the PDF. I do not want this to happen on all 6 PDF views only just two of the 6 PDF drawings. I use this a lot when looking at multiple pages of schedules on some drawings and looking at two separate plan drawings. A lot of times I only want the two plan drawings to be Synchronized at the same time as i move around the pdf but I don't want my schedule views moving around. I also can't open another instance of bluebeam session to avoid this as I can only have one bluebeam session opened at a time.
Allow Hyperlinks to BB Session Content - Files, markups, etc
I should be able to post a link here and have it take you to a Bluebeam session and a specific file within it.
http:// (session URL) / file
I should be able to link to a markup even as well.
Why isn't this in Bluebeam yet?
It's so frustrating that we (in multiple workplaces I've been at) have to say "hey folks we posted the set to the BB session and it's here in this screen snip…go there yourself and find it."
Formatting bug in window with reduced width
There seems to be a formatting issue when reducing the width of a BlueBeam window (e.g. when having bluebeam occupy only half the screen). The buttons for 'next page' and 'last page' disappears behind a drop-down menu, when there would be enough space to just allow for them to be directly accessible:
Thanks,
Auto-reconnect when connection to Bluebeam Studio has been lost
Is there a (good) reason that Bluebeam can't automatically attempt to reconnect to Bluebeam Studio when the connection has been lost? I swear under my breath every time I switch to Bluebeam and am faced with the "Your connection to Bluebeam Studio has been lost" message, waiting for me to tell it, yes, of course I want to reconnect!
Why can't the software do this automatically when a dropped connection is detected? It should automatically, silently, attempt to reconnect multiple times at some interval and only then give a failure message.
Markups "Color" vs "Fill Color"
When viewing Markups, the column labeled "Color" is based on the "Color" or perimeter line of the markup. Would be helpful if one could sort by the "Fill Color" as well.
Option to select what split windows/ detached pages to be synchronized.
I would like to request an option to select which windows or split views to synchronize. Currently, when you have multiple split views and detached pages, all of them synchronize together. In some cases, you may want to view only a couple of windows synchronously while keeping one window or view as a full page.
Search Centering
When running a search function on a sheet, the window should center on the item when selecting the result. Often when searching the highlight shows it nearly off page view and you have to manually recenter the image to see what you need to view. It would be incredibly more efficient to have the result center on the page view.
Re: More Count Measurement Shapes
This would be helpful. Although, right now you can turn any symbol into a count symbol, but those tend to lag sometimes.
I also prefer how easy it is to change colors with the built-in options. So yes, please consider adding more symbols.
Markup Sort Functions (Multiple Column Headers)
While it is nice to be able to sort markups by column heading, it would be better if we could sort by more than one header without changing filters. Such as Subject then Label 2 column order functions.
Feature Request: Add "Crop" Functionality to Snapshot Markups
Hi Bluebeam Team,
I am writing to suggest a feature update that would significantly improve the workflow efficiency for users who rely on the Snapshot tool (G).
Current Issue: Currently, if a user takes a snapshot and realizes there is excess content or "clutter" around the edges, they must delete the snapshot and re-take it. Unlike the Image markup tool, which allows for dynamic cropping via the Properties panel, Snapshots are "locked" once created.
Requested Feature: I recommend adding a "Crop" button to the Properties panel for Snapshot markups, similar to how it works for standard Images.
Why this is valuable:
- Precision: It allows users to clean up markups to fit into tight spaces on a drawing without losing alignment.
- Speed: It removes the "trial and error" process of re-taking snapshots to get the perfect border.
- Consistency: It aligns the behavior of Snapshots with Images, making the software more intuitive for new and power users alike.
Thank you for your time and for continuing to improve Revu!
