I have several symbols that I've created for use in a Tool Chest. Is it possible to give the symbols a drop down selection box which I can define?
i.e. Having a drop down menu to select if the symbol is a recessed device or a surface fix device.
Hi Stuart,
Would you like the drop down selection box visible in the markup on the page? If so, I can't think of a way to do this. Maybe you could add a text box to a Grouped markup with the symbol and type in the text box, so not ideal.
Otherwise, you can create a custom Choice column in the Markups List. This will give you a drop down list of custom information that you can assign to markups. This information will only be visible in the Markups List and not on the markup on the page (unless the markup is a measurement in Revu 21).
Maybe TMI… You can assign the custom column properties to the tool saved in the Tool Chest. Please note that if you want to use that custom column info when using that tool in other PDFs, you would need to import the custom column into those PDFs.
Cheers!
My color PDFs are showing as black and white. The mark ups are in color, but the original document is not. How do I get them to show as color?
hi i am currently seacrhing for a compatible tablet/ipad for Bluebeam, preferably with a compatible pen. would anyone have any advice? Thanks
Hi I’m new to Bluebeam so quite raw, I’ve inherited somebody else’s toolbox, and I’m not allowed to change the items within the toolbox (company policy), so my reason for writing is within my toolbox there are lots of rectangles which I can’t rotate to line up with diagonal lines on my drawing templates i.e. school…
Hey guys, my name is sam, fairly new user. I was sent a set of pdf's that are scale protected, so blue beam will not work is there a way to unlock these at my end or do I need to reach out to the engineers to unlock? thanks
There is a black line that appears when converting from PDF to TIFF. It normally blacks out the title block but have had it black out parts of drawings recently. Is there any way to prevent this black line?
This might be a really obvious one but I can't seem to figure out the best way to do this: I frequently mark up drawing sets for estimates wherein there are multiple pass-through trades under my scope. What I want to do is to be able to do takeoffs for multiple trades, giving them each their own layer that represents them,…
Need help with my cursor and measuring tools. My cursor will only go in a straight line in the measuring tool I am unable to follow a radius or use the measuring tool correctly, it will not follow the cursor but only go in straight lines.
Last night, our Admin team nearly lost their minds. While converting 92 Word documents to PDF, they discovered that the new PDFs were displaying the old versions of the Word documents. Any ideas what caused this and how to prevent or correct the problem if it happens again? They converted perfectly this morning.

Hi. Is anyone experiencing their toolsets randomly removing the first item in the list and replacing it with another? For example, I can open a set and the first one in the list should be say a 3-pole plug, followed by a 4-pole, 5-pole etc. but for some reason the 3-pole plug has been replaced by something random from a…
