Re: Autosize text box should account for text alignment
Hi, Alan. I don't necessarily prefer right-aligned text. Here is an example where this might be useful though. Let's say I have a stack of text boxes that all right aligned. If I edit the text in the right aligned text box and then autosize it, it will no longer be aligned to the right. See attached pictures.

Re: Integration with Amanda7 by Granicus
I'm curious about your workflow. Sounds like you (and your colleagues?) make comments to permit applications in Bluebeam and then need to transfer those comments to the Amanda platform. Is that correct? If so, why not comment directly in Amanda? Are you using Bluebeam Studio so all departments are commenting on the same file(s)?
Re: Tool Chest Search Feedback
Hi Kristin, glad you find the new Tool Chest search valuable! This is a great suggestion - we'll keep this in mind for future updates.
Re: Handling questions during training
My preferred approach is, quickly listen to the question, understand the chemistry of the question (as I am the one only know the content that I am going to share with the audience) if its part of the secession, pass the information to the audience (as this help others also understand that this is going to be addressed), if its not part of the content of the session, quickly address it based on the question and move on.

Re: Rotate Mark-Ups
Holding down SHIFT will allow you to rotate a markup by a single degree. It might also be helpful exploring the Properties Panel. Under Layout, you can manually change or input Rotation.

Re: Have you used the new Label feature that lets you put any Markup List Column data?
yeah, and I found it to be more trouble than its worth.
When I went to set up a Legend, instead of putting in the Custom Caption it included «TEXT» .
That even showed up in the markups list.
I even had a few others try it and they had the same issue.
Unfortunately, the Help team couldn't seem to replicate the problem on their end, so it never got resolved.
Re: Spaces Cutout
Katie,
I use spaces when doing estimates for Electrical. For example, I will create a space for an entire parkade level, as well as spaces for individual rooms. When I complete the takeoff, I export to a CSV file and add it to a database that will track $/sf for all these rooms. This gives me the ability to quickly generate budget numbers if needed as well as a good base point for cross checking estimates.
Because I cannot cutout the individual spaces, i have to manipulate the exported names on the CVS file before I can add them to our database.
