Re: Auto Save
The main reason why we don't support autosave the way it is being requested is that saving a file needs to reset the undo list. The experience would be that upon every save, undo would get cleared, so every 5min or so undo would appear to no longer work. This would be very annoying if you make a change right before autosave, and then do Ctrl+Z expecting the change to revert, and nothing happens because a save just took place. Any thoughts on this experience? Is it worth sacrificing undo so that files save automatically on some interval?

Re: ✴️ Experience using the Tool Chest?
We organize tools sets by Job/Discipline. Any tools that are regularly needed we train people to drag those up to 'My Tools' so they have quick access via the keyboard. Each Discipline has a different use requirement so I just provide them with the base tools and they can re-organize as required. However we focus on using 'My Tools' as the quick access space, modified as required.
Re: Export function - details
Noticed it has now been added - Many thanks - As a further recommendation I think the +0000 UTC part within the export is superfluous information
Re: Report of Users Activity/Non Activity
I strongly endorse Marion's request. The current licence manage process is administratively highly inefficient and falls below what other vendor licencing portals provide
Re: Leave Bluebeam Cloud Alone?
@shawn thanks for the assistance. We are familiar with using Revu on the desktop computer for punch list but I cannot find a way to add these punch items on an iphone (or preferable android device).
We can only figure out how to add punch items on the desktop version of revu which of course is not very useful in the field.
Is this a studio update on mobile that is planned in the next few weeks, or is there a way to leave cloud operating until studio can replicate the features?

Re: Bluebeam Cloud needs to stay
Hi @agalatioto
My apologies—you are correct. If you lose your connection, the drawing does close and becomes inaccessible until your connection is restored.
While we are storing data you create on the device, we understand this limitation and are actively working on a solution. The "dropped connection" change will be rolled out in one of our next upcoming versions to improve your experience in the field.
I’ve also edited my previous response to avoid any confusion.
Please feel free to reach out with any other concerns or issues. Thanks!

Re: How are YOU using Bluebeam as an engineer?!
We use Bluebeam Revu for many different functions, including:
a. Document Management
b. Markup and QAQC
c. Collaboration
d. Some QTO (Quantity Take Off)
We heavily rely on Studio Sessions for deep team collaboration and quality control reviews. Best part of that is we are all on the same page saving Time and 💲! There are so many features in Bluebeam Revu that people need to discover and use!
Re: Ability to Move Navigation Bar to Top
Luke,
Thanks for the idea!
This is a solid work around. In the Adobe interface, Page Navigation is below file names, but at least the custom toolbar idea puts it in the right area.
Re: Ability to Move Navigation Bar to Top
Here's the easiest way I know of…
Right-Click in the top menu area and select "Customize…" from the pulldown menu.
Then…
1) Add a new toolbar and name it (I chose toolbar top)
2) Select the Navigation category
3) Add each tool you want to include.
Note that when I did this, the page number disappeared from the bottom navigation. Weird.
"Go To Page" Shortcut
Is there a way to initiate a dialogue box to navigate pages? The reason I ask is using Adobe I have a macro assigned to ctrl+shift+n (dialogue box seen below) which opens a "Go To Page" window in Adobe. From there I can simply input the numbers on my num pad and off I go, no mouse movement needed.
I have considered making a macro that moves my mouse then click in to the nav bar in Bluebeam to do functionally the same thing, but the razer software I use for that is a little janky with multiple monitor setups and would also require I always have Revu on the same monitor.
Having a shortcut to type in a page number is a handy function for the kind of documents I browse at work. There's a lot of page hopping and not needing to double click into windows, and hit backspace is a convenient time save.
Ideally I'm looking for a keyboard shortcut/keybind for this function when I am in Revu, however I am open to any ideas for a work around in Revu that would offer a similar functionality.
