Reinstalled and working fine now. I appreciate everyone trying to help!

Have you tried adjusting VRAM settings? This is where the system can set aside some disk space and use it as Psuedo-RAM. This is located under advanced system settings. Two things I usually adjust under "Performance" settings:

1. Visual Effects: Turn everything down except Smooth Edges of screen fonts. This can reduce the system load when switching windows and programs. Little things will change like when you move a window it just shows an outline instead of the preview of the window moving.
2. "Advanced/Virtual Memory": I will usually just turn off the "Automatically Manage" and switch to "System Managed". This way the system will pull disk space as needed. You can always set manual , and it gives a current and recommended at the bottom of the page. I have heard that this works best when using rounded bit values (divisible by eight), but I have never had a problem with it either way. Requires system restart to take effect.

Ask yourself what would help you more quickly and accurately create bid estimates and bid documents. Write a short list. Look up ways to use Bluebeam to specifically do those things and test a few out on a project you previously bid or a new simple one. For example, you might look at how to do quick material takeoffs and export that data to excel.

I purchased Bluebeam. I'm co—owner of a small civil contractor. I'm multifaceted; project management, estimator, and sometimes superintendent.
We bought Bluebeam for the following reason: "Systematically increase our ability to bid and win projects". Right now, it feels like there is too much to learn in Bluebeam. What are the learning paths you recommend?

I am working at 960 right not but went to import drawing from file and it went up to 1157 but Google Chrome is in the lead. only 1188. I have heard Candy Crush is a memory hog lol. Have a good evening

Thanks Isaac,

I will play with it and see. I appreciate your help. Have a good weekend

I also agree that Bluebeam University is a good start. Revu Help is also easy to navigate (https://support.bluebeam.com/online-help/revu20/Content/RevuHelp/Dashboard.htm).

I was hired at my current job because of my Bluebeam experience and have created several instruction manuals based on the Revu Help website. Hiring a certified Bluebeam instructor can get pricey, but if you can get customized one-on-one training, it is well worth the cost. I have been using Blue beam for well over a decade and it is a powerful tool to bid faster and more accurately.

Good luck on your journey!

Definately experienced this as well
