Re: 📅 September 2024 Challenge – Seal of Approval!
I have an AutoCAD DWG for each partner. For those partners who don't insist on wet stamping their projects, a scan of their handwritten signature is placed centered at 0,0. A layer exists for every state for which the partner has a license. The state graphics is drawn on that layer relative to the position of how the partner would naturally sign it. Sometimes that is centered on the signature. Sometimes more sloppily to the right/left. Sometimes underneath the graphics. Two stamps are saved from PDF prints. One for a "signed" stamp (again, if partner allowed) and another for unsigned. These are stored in a central read-only network folder where project admins are taught how to redirect the stamp folder location. All stamps are saved within the extents of the same fixed box size. This allows hot swapping of a stamp without compromising its position in the title block.
Re: Document Accessibility checker
Hi @Luke Shiras I have heard of it, mainly from talking to a few CSMs based in the States. I will look into local requirements in Australia and give feedback to the Bluebeam Product team.
What measurement tool to use for footings?
I work for a concrete construction company. I am new to Bluebeam and am wondering what tool would I use to measure foundation footings around the perimeter of a building that the walls sit on. Or even how to measure the basement walls for a home to figure out how much concrete is needed for that foundation. Say, for example, you have someone that wants 8" wide walls that are 10' deep for their basement. What took would I use to measure that area to get the concrete total?
Re: Structural Shape Tool Set Elevations and Sections
I'm in Iowa, US. I work for a fabricator where we try to limit the number of shapes we have. I'll try the snapshot idea. I'm very intrigued with the ToolSet Search, I'll have to do some research.
Re: 📅 September 2024 Challenge – Seal of Approval!
Our office works similar to @Molly.Richardson.CSC but our state seal is generated from AutoCAD/Revit and converted into a PDF. This gives us the clarity of a vector image and then we apply the scanned signature over that. The combined image is saved as a stamp which we apply to our documents.
Re: Exporting PDF files from a Revu session
I second this suggestion. Bluebeam should include a mass-delete feature where you press a button, check the boxes for docs to be deleted/saved, and are given a dialogue box for "are you sure? and do you want to save it somewhere?"
Re: Ignore
The August Challenge is closed but it might inspire some new tool sets for you.
Re: Is there snap mode??
Cha,
I believe what you are looking for is a feature named "Snap to Content". This is toggled on and off by selecting "ctrl+Shift+F8" or selecting it from the View tab menu.
