How can I change measurements, dimensions & calibration, from architectural to engineering units?
Ah, yes. I poked around and found this. When a dimension is selected, these options show up at the top. Switch to the ft option and it will give you decimal feet.
You should have engineering scales as an option when you set the scale on the sheet. Are you looking for something other than what's available or do you mean something different?

Luke thanks - I mean different. After setting a custom scale for a certain drawing sheet (that's an engineering plan) I want dimensioning (measurements) to show as e.g. 23.25 ft, and 106.5 ft, and not as e.g. 23'-3", and 106'-6".
In other words decimal feet.
So who remembers poking around in units menus in AutoCAD and discovering that they go all the way up to LIGHTYEARS!?!
I got an email this afternoon asking if I wanted to sign up for this. "Interested in trying new Bluebeam innovations before they’re released to the public? You’re in luck!" It sounded interesting. I clicked the link, but the USA BBID doesn't take you to a login page. Is anyone else having this issue?

I am working on creating a custom toolset for my team to quickly calculate concrete and steel reinforcement quantities for bridge components. In order to do this, I have added quite a few custom "columns" which take inputs or store tool-specific variables. These are displayed in the measurement properties tab under…
I am using quantity link to get length takeoffs from my PDF directly to excel. I can link a cell to a certain measurement type (length, area, etc.) but can't separate it out from there. Attached picture might make this make sense. I want the 'Length 1' measurement to go to cell B2 and the 'Length 2' measurement to go to…

When you have a document open and split so you have (2) windows, is there a way for the tools to display with each window so you don't have to go all the way across the screen to get to the 1 windows tools?
I want to group all WF Beams so when I click the beam for a take off it, has a pulldown to select the size. Can this be done?
I am having an issue where when I save, mark-ups just disappear before my eyes. I do a save after every sheet of mark-ups, and at random, every mark up I did just disappears. What is strange is that they still appear in the mark-up list, but that does me no good. I have tried exporting and reimporting the markups, doesn't…
Is it possible to relocate a drawing set from a laptop to a server? I have a large set with several revisions and would like to move it to a server to share to with others.
Perimeter measurement is an integral part of my work, however, is not available on my system (Bluebeam Revu x64 Basics). Is this correct and if so, what do I need to do to make this available. This is the only tool that I need (that is not available to me already) and I'm hoping that I do not have to upgrade my system to…
