Re: Bluebeam PDF printer driver - Printing to Black & White
Take a look at this post and see if following its steps resolves your problem.
Re: Print to Bluebeam Problem Resolved
Thanks. I had to do this this morning. I don't think it was an issue in the previous R-21 releases.
Also, I right-clicked on Bluebeam Administrator 21 and selected "run as administrator" and it worked for me.
Bluebeam Manual
Hey we're trying to see if anyone has a PDF copy of a user manual for Bluebeam. I know Bluebeam university has tons of online training but if someone just wants to reference something quickly it would be great to have. Please share if you do!
Re: Importing From Excel
Thank you for your quick response. Ideally, having the list of labels applied to a tool set with a pulldown list would be good. Or something like how we can make sequences to text boxes because I would also go down that list and place the labels at each outlet location.
On a side note, I use callouts to label an outlet location. An issue I see though, is that typically there are more than (1) cable to an outlet location.
Re: How do I change length measurements from mm to m globally
@Stu After selecting the markups, find the Units dropdown in the Properties Toolbar. From there, you'll be able to switch the units from mm to m. This example shows a couple lengths, perimeter, and polylength all able to be adjusted at once.
Re: How do I change the size of the measurement related font/numerals on drawings globally
Hi @Stu - I would select all measurements using CTRL + A on the document to gather all markups on the specific page (click inside the Markups List and then CTRL + A for markups across multiple pages). On the right side of the Properties Toolbar, you'll see Font Size and can adjust as needed.
Re: ✴️ Feature Highlight: Scale & Calibration
For the work I do in creating new tools, scale is critical. I use viewports with different scales to verify they are working properly. As for calibration on drawings with no scale noted, I typically use a known measurement, like a door or gridlines, then test it someplace else on the drawing to confirm it's correct.
