Re: ✴️ Feature Highlight: Rotating Measurement Captions
I like this feature as it is makes life much easier when trying to layout a drawing especially when there is a lot going on. One feature I would like to see is that the text actively rotates on the page as I am trying to determine the angle I am looking for.

Re: Preferred settings for printing markup summary?
We have generally used the table style at my firm, it takes more sheets, and the info is more spread out, but we like that, and it gives room for notes next to each instance. (for example, going item by item in an OAC) Larger spaces also make people write larger, so if people take hand notes on the printout it can be scanned a little cleaner.
If thumbnails are showing, medium and small work digitally because you can zoom in, but in print are most of the time too small to reference or review. We exclusively use large thumbnails as a standard here. I can see the flow style being great to use as a check list/ overall list of markups, but I’d take it into excel to post produce before I showed flow to someone outside of the firm, and the table style I can generally leave as is and still have the conversations I need.
We use both letter size and 11 x 17 sheets for different circumstances, for the padding I’d say the less you have the better unless you have a site walk, more padding adds more white space to the sheet for notes or sketches. Hope this helps!
Re: page #s and labels
@Shelby Here's how I handle it:
First, add the page numbers using the "Header and Footer" tool. Once that's done, use the "Create Page Labels" feature with the "Page Region" option. Include the page number field from the header/footer when setting up the labels.
There may be another way to handle it, and Id love to hear!
Re: Measure Markup will not display
Issue resolved. The "Make Annotations from Measurement" had to be checked.
FYI, online resources suggested this was a checkbox that is directly visible in the Measurement menu. In my setup, this option was hidden. You have to click into the Measurement header which pulls down a hiddent list of options.
Re: How to attach custom properties to tools in Revu21?
Shanoc, The search function is great! Do you know if this will be expanded to search both active and non-active toolsets? Right now, it only searches active toolsets. We have a lot of toolsets and try to only turn on what is being used. If you don't remember where a tool is, sometimes that toolset is off when you are searching for it and Search won't see it.
Re: Tool Chest UX regressions
I concur with the issues/problems noted above.
Additionally, I am having another extremely aggravating problem, which only started happening after updating to v21.6. Quite often, no matter how carefully I do it, the instant I click on a tool in the tool chest, the whole tool chest side panel will jump as if I had scrolled the mouse wheel, which causes the tool that I clicked on to move to a different location relative to all of the other tools within the set, and sometimes even causing it to move from its original tool set into an entirely different set.
Wondering if anyone else is seeing this behavior. Not sure if it is a bug in this latest version Bluebeam, or if it is possibly a problem with my mouse or PC that just coincidentally started at about the same time I installed the BB update.

Re: Is there a way to downgrade the version of REVU I am using?
Managed to find the old version. I had to delete the existing application off my computer and redownload the older version. Worked pretty seamlessly. Tool chest is back in working order
Is there a way to downgrade the version of REVU I am using?
Resolved: Delete existing version and install old version.
Question is in the title. I use the tool chest for my job, I make/edit/modify maybe 50-100 markups a day and whatever was done to the tool chest has ruined its functionality.
A few examples:
- Double click to edit name is now extremely inconsistent.
- The markups are also no longer "glued" to their spots. I'll try to double click a markup to change the name and my markup flies up or down the list.
- See above, the markups feel like they're on a stick of butter. I try to click them to select them and they somehow manage to move around.
- The search bar feels very slow now, or rather has started lagging which I've never had happen before.
- Editing names has now become very difficult for no reason.
- Use to be able to double click then hit my arrow key to place my cursor so I could edit my text where needed. Now it deletes the entire now
- The text will highlight and when I click the text, approximately 50% of the time it'll exit out of the rename function.
Re: Auto Save
You don't support it because it wipes the undo list? What world is this not something that can be achieved. If only other programs could do it. Like … Word and Excel…
Falsifying excuses is aggravating. I'm now up to 25 hours of lost work due to no autosave feature. And don't even start about the non effective recovery options or "prompts to save".
Re: Measure Markup will not display
Is the markup greyed out or missing completely?
Is this happening on all PDF's or just this one package?
My first thought is that a Filter has been applied somewhere and needs to be removed.
Second would be that the drawings have been locked.
