Re: Bluebeam Sets won't print the latest revision
Ah, I see now. I just tried it and it printed the pages I asked for (Even pages of PDF-1, 3-6 of PDF-2) so I see how it should work. Not sure why it's not working correctly for you. May need to reinstall Revu to fix a corrupted file, library, or path.

100% this is a problem. Don't get me started about not being able to rotate the pattern…
Re: Any options to have BB studio reconnect automatically?
It occurs to me that if Bluebeam can't/won't implement auto-reconnect functionality, then at the very least give us an option to prohibit working offline. It's caused enough problems that I'd rather users couldn't see the PDFs at all during an actual extended internet outage. That seems like it'd be less of a problem than the silently-going-offline issue.
Re: Any options to have BB studio reconnect automatically?
I would both like Bluebeam to more aggressively attempt automatic reconnects and to also make it much more obvious in the UI when disconnected and working offline. I found some good examples of indicators at https://ux.stackexchange.com/a/89705/162139
The reason for this is confusion I've observed with some mechanics and electricians on my team. We use Bluebeam so that we can all have the latest schematic redline markups. I've noticed they normally have the Bookmarks pane visible and not the Studio pane. Since there is literally nothing in the UI telling them they're working offline, they can be working offline for days before noticing a schematic discrepancy compared with someone else's computer, and only then do they notice they've been working offline.
The existing popup seems reasonable, but in my experience at least 80% of users ignore every popup from every application and click whichever button they happen to mouse over first.
Re: 💡 Share Your Bluebeam Tips & Tricks!
If I could offer a tip it would be to play. Just try to figure stuff out.
Explore the UI, try stuff out. Go Hey, what does this tool do?
Other than that, change your profile to Revu Advanced. Just changing the UI from the out of the box profile makes a lot of difference

Ha, you sure I'm not a bother? Looks like I sure talk a lot. 😀
I didn't even know this was a badge, let alone think I'd be the first to earn it.
Re: How to Print Current View
It's there, I missed it when looking.
Thanks!
Re: "Is there a method to clear all annotations or revert the marked-up files to their original state?"
@Alger, There are several ways to remove your markups:
To delete them: Simply select the markups either directly on the drawing or from the Markups List, then press delete.
To hide them without deleting: If your markups are assigned to specific layers, you can hide those layers and lock them. This ensures the markups won't display or reopen automatically the next time you access the drawings.
Hope this helps!
