Re: Make a way to move the detached markup list or pdf tab when it goes off screen
Do you use multiple displays? If so, it could be an issue of the interaction there. I often have to disconnect my additional monitors and then do the software restart. It's NOT a good way to get the job done, but at least it allows me to move on with my day. Before I figured out that solution I would be dead in the water until I restarted my PC and get a fresh boot.
Re: How to Copy-Paste and Edit Text boxes with Formatting
@Luke Shiras, I love the way you you did that. Looks real neat!
I think that this can also be resolved if we just had basic Microsoft Word Style Formatting in text boxes. It's an issue that has been brought up many times. Lets make in a priority!

Re: Sequences need drastically improving
I would add to @Brandon Costlow's comment regarding leading zeros. It would be extremely helpful if the sequencing feature included an option to define the number of digits, so that with three digits, for example, the sequence would display as 001, 002, ..., 010, up to 100, and so on.
Re: iPad App Overhaul Desperately Needed
@Jeret Buerger - Buehler, Thanks for the thoughtful feedback. It’s clear we’re not meeting expectations yet, and that context helps. We’ve been focused on supporting Studio Sessions and other ways to get into files, whether from Projects or local storage, but that’s delayed markup improvements. A full offline experience is coming later this year, followed by tool sets and measurements. I’d love to know if anything else is holding you back. I'll send you a DM with more details.
Re: PDF Graphical issues with markups/snapshots
After working with technical support, the following has fixed it. I am pretty confident I have toggled through these settings and tested with this specific setting, but as of now, this has fixed it and may help others having the issue. It may present again as I work on these older PDF's I have with tons of markups and vector snapshots, but hoping it sticks!
Re: Bluebeam Sets won't print the latest revision
Thanks, @Jes Stafford,
Yes, we have tried Sets > Print Set > Print Latest set (that is our default method).
We have also tried Sets > Select Latest Revisions > Publish > Combine, and
Sets > Select Latest Revisions > File > Export and
Sets > Select Latest Revisions > File > Print
Each option wants to print ALL pages of each document/PDF instead of the intended: just print the latest versions of the sheets from all documents in order.

Re: Sequences need drastically improving
I'd like to add to this recommendation if you'd allow it… I wish we could assign a certain number of digits with automatically filled in trailing or leading zeros. Right now, if I want to maintain 4 digits to name wire runs on a job, I start with a sequence that has two leading zeros, then when I get to A009 I have to switch to a sequence that only has one leading zero. Even that gets to not working relatively quickly on larger jobs as A099 would be the limit for the one leading zero. Having to make multiple sequences to maintain a uniform naming convention is pretty annoying and would be much better if the settings of the sequence allowed for a smarter numbering system. Our naming is actually more complicated than this because we use decimal places for runs that share either a line- or load-side termination. For instance, a conduit may be able to house three circuits. One circuit terminates in junction box 1, while the next one terminates in j-box 2, and the third in j-box 3. If the main run is named B001, the other two would be B001.1, and B001.2, respectively. I don't expect the sequence tool to be able to handle this strange naming convention, but it would really be great to have the main runs sequence more intelligently at least.
