Highlight Text by Outline

The Select Text tool allows you to use Ctrl+Click to drag a rectangle for selecting text.
Is it possible to achieve this with the Highlighter tool? Or can we apply a highlight to the selected text?

I also note we can right click and apply highlight, however this will only apply the default and not the custom tool:

Re: Option to disable dimming markups when filtered out

@Ryan Arbuckle - Thank you for the response. I did see that preference option, but the markups are still in gray even at 100%. I really want the color!!

Re: Option to disable dimming markups when filtered out

@Sondra.Camis There is a preference that may help this situation! Under Revu → Preferences (Ctrl + K), go to the Interface tab and then Markups List. Filtered Annotation Dim defaults to 40%. Changing to 100% provides greater visibility while still greyed out.

Here is an example of a filtered markup at 100%.

Here it is at 40%.

✴️ Feature Highlight: Hiding Markups

This week, we're highlighting how to hide markups in Bluebeam Revu temporarily!

Temporarily hide markups in Bluebeam Revu to quickly surface and interact with markups whose visibility is obscured by overlapping markups. Here's how to:

Hide Markups:

Right-click the markup(s) you want to hide on the document or from the Markups List and click the Hide icon
A box indicating how many markups are hidden will appear in the corner of your screen

View & Unhide Markups:

Hover over this box to view the hidden markups
Click this box to unhide the markups

Note: Hiding a markup is temporary and will not save. When Hide Markup mode is enabled, markups will not be shown or printed.

Share with us!

How often are you hiding and unhiding markups?
Do you ever have to hide and unhide layers only to hide a handful of markups?
How do you envision this feature could help you in the future?

Re: ✴️ Feature Highlight: Adding Actions to markups

I'm a new user [Just started working with Revu 02DEC2024] and I've been using this feature quite a bit to link from one document to another for easy referencing between DOO's/SOO's and drawings. But I've run into a bit of a bothersome issue;

If I place these actions on text markups, it quickly becomes quite cluttered. Is there a way to move the little icons in relation to the markup they're attached to?

Re: Copy and Paste multiple measurements

Thank you again. I cant say I am looking forward to having sheets replaced after I am done with my takeoff, but I will be more prepared for it. Take care

Re: Copy and Paste multiple measurements

@Shaya Birnbaum Adding to that technique… try Edit/Paste in Place (Ctrl+Shft+V)… If the sheet layout is the same scale, orientation, and the plan did not change position relative to the sheet boarder, the markups will paste in the exact location as the sheet where they were copied from.
