Re: Add Auto Align to Batch Overlays and Compare
This is much needed. I've just completed the overlays of approx 50 drawings only to discover about half don't line up. Having to go back and manually adjust each of those pages and then go for through the drawing naming process again is a real pain!
Re: Measure area as an offset from a line
Maybe use polyline with a custom column for sidewalk width and a formula column multiplying length * sidewalk width. Set up a sidewalk tool chest with tools for widths from 3' to 6' in 6" intervals.

Can you submit a support request for this so that we can look at your log files?

Re: Tool chest loss of markup snapshot properties
Not sure what to tell you here @Electric_Tim67
When I lock a markup - which isn't very often - I've always had the option to unlock the markup from the right click menu.
At this point, unless someone else comes along with a suggestion shortly, I'd reach out to Bluebeam Technical Support or your reseller…..
Copying Markups Between Different Scales – Is Automatic Adjustment Possible?
Hello everyone,
I work in the telecommunications field and frequently provide plan markups for various roadway projects. These plans often come in a wide range of scales—from 1" = 20' to 1" = 100'. I’m wondering if there’s a way to copy markups from a plan with one scale (e.g., 1" = 40') and paste them into another plan with a different scale (e.g., 1" = 50'), while having the markups automatically adjust to the new scale.
This functionality would be incredibly helpful, especially when reusing markups from older projects. It would save a significant amount of time and effort if there’s a way to scale the markups appropriately during the transfer.
Has anyone found a solution or workaround for this? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Best regards,
Collin A. Johnson

Re: Highlight in the find/search command with a different color than blue
I agree changing the color would help. Some timke I just want to find stuff but not necessarily mark it.
Centering it would also be useful.
Re: Highlight in the find/search command with a different color than blue
Yes, the light blue is nearly impossible to see, and while I understand you can highlight it after the fact, this isn't useful for what I am typically trying to do. I want to find a specific number on a page where that number is repeated multiple times. I do not want it to highlight results with the mark-up because that takes time, and I'd have to un-highlight all the options that were not what I was looking for. Zooming and centering would work.

Re: Highlight in the find/search command with a different color than blue
Fixing this would be important for me for reasons stated above. Most times it is difficult to see what was found where. The light blue is not enough of a contrast, and many times it is actually off the view screen. I have been resorting to search while zoomed into a very small area and even then I need to pan to find the result.
I would love to see a "Target" type display - 1" or 1-1/2" 30% translucent yellow circle around the blue result box?
This target would also be very useful when selecting items in your markup list
If that is not possible, at least bring the search result center view or have that as an option if it does not fit the needs of some.
Re: Highlight in the find/search command with a different color than blue
I agree! Some search results are extremely small and barely visible. As @Carl Werner, suggested, it would be very helpful to have an option where clicking on a search result automatically zooms in and centers the item on the screen.
