Best Of

@Jan-Willem - are you referring to the profile option for Bluebeam Community? If so - it's definitely a strange experience and I'll connect with you separately and remove this as a suggestion to the product team.

Thanks!

Thank you for sharing this feedback. Can you add more context as to which application you were signing into where you observed this experience?

I can't see one Tessi - I even tried a Custom Linetype with two lines and a +10 and -10 offset. It was thicker, but not much thicker.
See if the rest of the World has any ideas.

Hi @Jan-Willem - Thank you SO much for this clear explanation.

I would first like to start by sharing that you have no reason to be sorry. For starters, your English is perfect and I wish I could learn another language. I always give up too soon!

Additionally, you are not the only one with this issue, so I am going to move it from the Product Feedback category to the Community Chatter category. Your feedback is absolutely valid so I am going to move it so other individuals who experience the same issue can follow this thread.

Helpful tip for submitting feedback:

• Product Feedback= space to share Bluebeam-product specific feedback/ideas
• Community Chatter = space to share online Bluebeam Community feedback

With that said, I 100% agree with you, the login experience is not ideal and is a limitation in the platform we use for the community. For starters, I'm submitting this feedback to their team to enhance their registration to be a smart form and filter options based on location, etc. While I can't promise anything will happen, it is a great place to start.

Lastly, I am going to reach out to privately because I want to ask a couple of personal/location-based questions. Please keep an eye out for a message to come through in your mail icon (see highlighted area in picture below)

Lastly, regarding your auto-save suggestion, can you please share where you submitted this? Is this in reference to the Bluebeam Community, too? Or Bluebeam Revu?

FYI: @David Vallejo

In Revu Complete, there is an option to use Live Link to link measurements with cells in Excel. Here is a LINK to a YouTube clip that shows this feature. Bluebeam also lets you customise your linetypes for Markups and Measurements. Here is a LINK to Custom Linetypes.

My tip is to create a ToolSet of at least 80% of all the measurements that you will need. If you are going to link Bluebeam to Excel, you need consistent, "clean" data.

Now linking from Bluebeam is great, I have made and seen some great workflows, just note that you will need to map all the data variations in Bluebeam to a single cell in Excel. So if you have 5 markups, with 3 variations thats 15 mapped links. If these have another 2 levels of options, say another 5 and then 3 that 5x3x2x5=150 mapped links. At some point you may prefer to use Export to .csv and review the data in Excel another way.

You have some experimentation to do, but the work is worth it.
Good luck.

Hi Bbannon, YES!
While we don't have all possible scale options, you can add your own options (even ones for when the CAD operator 'prints to fit' and not to scale). Here is a LINK to our support page. I have shown the edited imperial measurements used in the support page, to show what Metric will look like for you.

This will then be incorporated into the PDF drawing and any other person that opens it will see 1:250.

Once you have it +Add Preset, it will look like this. As a preset, it will only show on your installation of Revu; there is no option to share this as a 'setting' with other users.

I know that Bluebeam makes it difficult to select a markup that is under another markup—try selecting a markup four levels deep! BUT! I ran a demo today, and a 💡 went off in my head. Can I make a Keyboard Shortcut from the R21.2 Hide selected markup feature and use it to quickly hide obscuring markups to get to the markup underneath to make the changes I need? And then quickly turn everything back on.

The answer is yeah, it works well 🤘

My chosen keyboard shortcut is Shift + Spacebar.

What are your thoughts?
