How can I extend multiple lines to another line? see screenshot
I am not a pro bluebeamer. Appreciate the help. As you can see above, I want to know if there is a way to extend the horizontal/vertical lines to the angled line all at once rather than clicking and extending one at a time. I use the multiply option to equally space the lines, then I have to individually extend them to the…

Can you total a legend of different sources into One figure?
I've been away from Revu for a few years and just picking it up again. I am getting pretty frustrated that I can't find out how to enter a total for my legend at the bottom of my legend's individual source quantities. (this probably isn't a new thread, again just couldn't find anything and I'm wasting loads of time).…

I know you can export all the markups and work from there, but the legend has everything nicely summarized and I would like to manipulate the info more in Excel. I tried the File > Export > Excel Workbook > Page Region … but it clumps it into…

Is there a way to Convert Counts to Markups?
I've been trying to find a way to translate Counts to markups. I suggested it as an Idea in the Community, but has either gotten ignored or assumingly there may be already a way to do this. To get a better understanding on why I'm trying to chase the following: I work as a Project Engineering for an Electrical…

Multitasking while reducing file sizes
First off, the "Reduce File Size" feature is AMAZING! I absolutely love that it works even for files within a folder and subfolders—without needing to open them individually. The issue I’m facing is that when dealing with really large files, the process takes a lot of time. During this time, I can’t use Bluebeam or even…

Text box / call out text box orientation
I am encountering an odd condition. When placing a text box or call-out text box, the orientation is 90 degrees from horizontal. After entering the text, I have to rotate and size the box. I tried rotating the PDF to see if the original orientation of the document mattered, but it did not. Settings, software glitch? Please…

Revu - Creating a custom/dynamic markup group.
I am trying to create a markup group/symbol similar to the cloud with attached text box (as found in the default Architect, Contractor, and Engineer tool chests). This markup would have a rectangular box (instead of the cloud) with a line that attaches to a flag with a text label (instead of a text box). But I do NOT want…

Sequential Numbers with use on all Custom Toolbox Icons
Is there a way that Bluebeam can set sequential numbers against all icons in a custom toolbox so that as each icon is placed, it is numbered? I know this can be done for each separate icon e.g. post icon can be placed and numbered 1-10 then when the second icon is used, the numbers start again from 1 however for our…

How do I completly disable snapshot?
I am referring to this. When Bluebeam Revu x64 is open, and I've not noticed it before, this pops up when I press the screenshot button. That would be fine except it removes the screenshot data if I wait too long. It also doesn't let me paste into other applications. I would prefer to disable this feature completely. I've…
