Wildcard & logical operators for search
Extending the search capabilities with logical and wildcard operators would be very useful. Search is a bit basic.
Option to show all markups from all documents in a session in the Markups List
Allow the option to show all markups from all documents in a session, not just the current document. Having to open each and every document one at a time to see the markups is time consuming.
Re: 🗓️ August 2025 Challenge - One Tool, Many Uses!
Here is a simple one… in sharp contrast to the power users above.
Sometimes I need to work over a scanned drawing that comes in with a lot of "noise" around the drawn lines, sometimes notes scratched in the margins.
To clean that stuff up, I saved a pen tool set to white with a 10.00 pt size. It acts like an eraser. Adjust the size to work into finer corners or switch to drawing a big white rectangle to clean up large spaces.
Re: Become a Bluebeam Certified Instructor - New Dates Available!
Going through this program has been extremely helpful. It's not all about Bluebeam, you'll learn other instructional guidance and tricks that'll help in every subject. I highly recommend it!
Re: How else do you use Bluebeam? 💡
I'm currently using Bluebeam to figure out the best way to stack pallets to make a fairly large bonfire for an event in the village where I live in here in the UK.
I'm going for about 240 pallets so I can work out the area they'll cover and the overall height of the 'tower' if I play around with different configurations, etc..
Originally I was told to use 622 pallets but after sketching that out I decided that might be just a little too big 😂
Re: ✴️ Feature Highlight: Quantity Link
Unfortunately Quantity Link doesn't work for me, so I use Power Query in Excel to use all the metadata available in the Markup List.
Quantity Link if great for using the summary measures for each item but being able to use all the other information being collected in the custom columns, etc really takes your workflow to another level.
It'll be great when Bluebeam create a link to Excel where the whole Markup List is exported on a live basis!
Re: 🗓️ August 2025 Challenge - One Tool, Many Uses!
I'm going to send you my slide deck from Unbound after the conference, you should see the crazy things I'm doing in PQ now.
Its true though, once you combine the two programs, you can do some really amazing things.
Search in Recent Files Tab
At any given time, I typically have over 100+ files listed in my Recent Files tab. While not all are open simultaneously, it would be extremely convenient if Revu included a search function within the Recent Files tab. This would allow me to quickly locate and reopen a previously accessed file, rather than having to scroll through the entire list and manually check each file name.
