Yes, @Doug McLean , let's do it!! @Juan next presenter is already lined up!!
Re: Rotate Page Idea - 45 degree
This could also just be a Rotate View option, where you can enter a set degree rotation, or select a line and have the view rotate so that line is horizontal on the screen and all markups are made orthogonal to that view until you reset it back the global view. We don't necessarily need the page itself to rotate, that's probably a limitation of a pdf file anyway to choose only between landscape/portrait, I'm assuming.
Presentation at next BUG
I'd be more than willing to do something in the next CANBUG meeting.
I'm thinking something simple, but that with a little tweak to the workflow becomes something a bit more advanced.

Re: What feature/tool could you talk about for hours?
For hours, Measurements.
For me, the key to understanding how to create custom tools begins with understanding how the various measurement tools function. There are so many nuances to how to use the various measurement tools that I could easily do a whole webinar on it.
What are the primary measurements that you get from each tool, what are the secondary?
What are the differences between a Perimeter and a Polylength tool?
How does the markups list read a measurement?
What happens when you right click?
What else can you add to a Count tool?
The list is kind of endless.
Re: What feature/tool could you talk about for hours?
This is tough as so many things are interlinked however, I'll say Custom Tools and more specifically the data that you can automatically collect in Markup List which can then be exported out to a csv file.
Using a combination of custom tools, columns and an Excel spreadsheet I have created workflows which make the process of tendering works not only very accurate but also extremely fast to use generally.
Creating Custom Tools correctly can really make a huge difference to productivity.
Re: Add arrow etc. to end of arc segment
If you draw a polyline and convert it to arc, then you can have an arrow at the end of a curved line. There could be a simpler solution though, so still a good suggestion.
Re: Fine adjustment for angle and scale
Correct me if I'm wrong, but you can simply type the number you want, right? Your issue is that, if you want to see how 214.5 degrees looks compared to 214.7 degrees, typing the numbers each time would be tedious, correct?
Re: What feature/tool could you talk about for hours?
I use Bluebeam to do all conceptual drawings and markups. I can 'draft' an entire structural set in a few days, and put out a professional product that later takes my team more than a month to produce anything comparable using Revit. All you need are tools that have the same settings, blocks, patterns as your typical CAD/BIM standards, some background pdf files from other disciplines. Here are some examples:
Using Bluebeam for concept work and sketches is something I preach about endlessly. The time savings is immense for things that are dynamic and changing. It's easy to drop these into a session and collaborate in real time.
What feature/tool could you talk about for hours?
What's one Bluebeam Revu feature or tool you could talk for hours about?
Let's get a ton of comments going so we can have a Bluebeam Feature Show & Tell at our next USBUG meeting!
