Hi RTao,

I understand you're looking for a database lookup function similar to what you've used in other complex BIM software. Unfortunately, Bluebeam does not offer this feature. However, there are alternative methods you can consider:

1. ToolSets with Prewritten Comments: You can create ToolSets that include prewritten comments. These ToolSets can be shared across your office, ensuring everyone adheres to company standards for comments. If you're already familiar with ToolSets, this might be a straightforward solution.
2. Using Code for Comment Distinction: When I was drafting, I used a coding system to differentiate between comments. For example, you could add a comment like "PL01" to reference your Property Line 01 comment. This method allows for quick identification and consistency in your documentation. You can then add a cover sheet (or via Scripting) that shows the code and description as a one pager.

I understand these are work-arounds, potentially someone else in Community will have a better answer.

I like where you are going with this, but honestly, this is beyond what our software can currently do.
I have done something similar years back, pulling in Architects .dwg files of buildings and changing elements to suit what I needed for Engineering. It saved so much time.
Sorry, Bluebeam does not have the functionality to pull the Vector information or line (PDF can be Vector or Raster (image)).
