Re: configurable control point size
It would help to increase Bluebeam's accessibility for users who may be compromised visually or with fine motor skills.
An increase in the control point size will allow users who aren't too accurate to increase their usability.
As a Multiple Sclerosis patient, i lack fine motor skills & have a visual impairment that can hinder my performance as the day wears on.
many thanks.

Edit time limit
I'm not sure it matters but can the time limit to edit comments be extended?
Generally, 24 hours is enough but I want to clean up my "introduce yourself" post but the time has passed. Other times I need to fix a typo and may not notice it until the next day.
Thoughts?
Custom Hatch and line styles?
While I wait for the influx of new members from the PHX/NorCal bug webinar I thought I'd ask about your experience with making custom hatches and line styles in Bluebeam (the topic of the webinar).
There were some great examples of custom hatches and lines that made a lot of sense for those users. One was a civil office that used hatch patterns to literally say how thick the base was and lines that identified the pipe type and size. And this was all quantifiable for takeoffs. Another user showed how they used them for all the MEP parts but also how they have a great "how-to" sheet in their drawings with samples/standards and instructions on how to use them.
And then there was me, who shared this useless hack. That's right, I made custom "sketchy" lines.
But what are some of your custom work that you've created or use regularly?
Re: Signatures in Sessions
Good to know. We usually use stamps for our "signatures" but I can see how this would be an issue for something requiring more trackable documentation.
Here's a screenshot of the signature menu greyed out as @Sarah Wallace described.
Re: no "body" problem
HI @Luke Shiras - strange! I reached out to our vendor to see if they have any insight as to why this is happening. I'll keep you posted whenever I hear back.
Pro-Posting tip
TIL you can make your images float left or right (centered by default). You can also change the size from small to medium to large. This is helpful to know when trying to explain something with pictures or introducing yourself (hint, hint)
What other features have you discovered about this platform?
Re: Drag and drop document stapling
I can definitely see how much time and effort this would save for architects making ASIs or responses to AHJ comments. Likewise, Contractors creating product submittals or substitution requests.

@Duane Gingras I just checked mine and I'm set at 40%. Thanks for the tip.
