Great idea (it can be hard to select an object from crowded areas) but this has been really badly implemented unfortunately. The pop up crowds the area around the cursor and often obscures either the control point or the place where you want to drag the control point to.
See below where the control point is obscured by the pop up:
If you hold shift while moving a control point and you release it next to the pop up, the control point often isn't adjusted but does leave a black line behind which disappears once you press esc. This means you are limited in where you can adjust a control point. See the image below where the control point can no longer be adjusted.
Please please please give us the option to turn off features like this!
Hey @Andrew Shields,
I went ahead and split and moved your post for visibility. Thanks for providing screenshots!
You can turn off Selection Cycle in the Preferences menu. It's just a radio button you can toggle on/off.
I find the feature useless for my workflow, and it was easy to disable. That said, even if I did use it, the feature was pretty annoying how it covered the area where you were immediately working. Just a really bizarre feature with even more bizarre UI.
@bwiginton Thank you!!!
Yeah, it could be implemented a little better I suppose.
It's pretty easy to work around though. Zoom-in/out to adjust the placement of the pop-up in relation to your markup. You can hold shift while scrolling to zoom (even if you have to hold ctrl as well because you're in continuous mode).
I'm happy to see that there is a way to disable this new feature because it is a bit clunky. It would be nice if you didn't have to go in to preferences to turn it on and off. Maybe just adding an option to turn it on and off easily like the "snap to content", "snap to grid" etc.
I would love it if I was able to rebind the key from shift to something else. The feature has been useful the few times I've needed it, but It otherwise gets so much in the way that I just cant justify keeping it enabled
@STR - Kristin - I can see it going either way. Storing certain options away in preferences is helpful. Like switching on/off the cursor crosshairs or changing from dark theme to light theme. It could be useful being right in the Interface, but there comes a point where it's just too much going on to be productive. I think that the fact that the feature can be a sensory overload issue anyways makes it good to be stored away in preferences. I certainly agree with making it something we can turn on/off though. Definitely a good call on Bluebeam's part, IMO.
@M1ndstorms - That would be cool, but are there any other customizable key bindings that are held down? I think it's not really in the cards with the way the program functions.

Is anyone else having issues using Bluebeam Cloud in the field on their iPads? I understand they are discontinuing Revu on iPad, but the features aren't even close.

I do a good amount of takeoff in bluebeam and noticed an annoying issue after updating to 21.7. It used to be that you could use the CNTRL + Shift keys to do a straight takeoff line (shift key) and avoid any control lines or points on the drawing (CNTRL key) to get to a precise spot on the drawing. After the update, the…

Can Bluebeam Connect to Google Drive? I notice that Adobe can connect directly to Google Drive, but I cannot find an option for Bluebeam. I also checked the Google Play Store and did not see Bluebeam listed. Does Bluebeam support direct integration with Google Drive, or is there another method people are using to connect…
