I did a quick search here and I was not able to find that this was asked here. But was BB recently updated to have the "repeat last" command? and if not, is there a plan to add this?
Can you please expand on this a bit more? I don't know of any 'commands' in Bluebeam. If you mean reuse the last tool then that is down in your status bar:
this will allow you to reuse the selected markup tool repeatedly without having to re-select it after each use. You then hit ESC to end using it.
I am using Auto CAD lingo here a bit, I apologize.
For me, the "reuse markup tool" has no effect. Tool stays active regardless.
In AutoCAD, after you ESC from a command, you can reactive last used tool with hitting spacebar. So is there a similar option in BlueBeam. After you ESC from a tool, to have an option/hotkey that will reselect the last used tool.
I understood what you meant by command and agree, sometimes you didn't plan to reuse a markup tool so even if you knew about the ' Reuse Markup Tool' feature that @Duane Gingras mentioned (I didn't), you may want to be able to right-click and have the last tool listed for quick access.
And thanks for the tip Duane.
Alright. I just learned that "reuse markup tool" works only for the markups in the toolbox. not line, text, etc. Those are by default "reusable". Like @Luke Shiras said, an option to select the last select tool. Granted hotkeys are useful, but sometimes, you are using a tool that you do not use that often and option to reselect it quickly (like spacebar in Auto CAD) would go long ways.
👆️This, this is why I started learning shortcuts. Even though my tool bars were easy to navigate, the extra time to move my mouse back and forth can add up after a while, especially on larger monitors.
Ah, i see what you mean. I f you use a tool and then go back to cursor you would like a quick way to go back to that last used tool. Short answer is, No.
However you can do the following. if there are tools that you typically use on a regular basis drag then to you 'my tools section' and then you just press the corresponding number on your keyboard. This is an example of my "My Tools"
The little numbers in the top right of each tool is your short cut. These are the tools i use on a daily basis so i just tap a number between 1 and 14 to select any tool. I also move things around in "My Tools" as needed. My full set in "My Tools" is 32 entries, but i regularly only use the top 6 or 7 spots. Press 3 to add a comments, ESC, press 4 to add comment with leader, ESC… and so on. All my typical tools are within reach of my left had.
Not everyone that uses BlueBeam is a power user. I personally have no problems, but I am thinking about other coworkers that do not use it as often and/or are not BB savvy. Is there a way to elevate this question to BB developers?
I am trying to figure out if there's a way to take a comment list and use the list to mark-up plans. We have a standard list in Word that has about 100 comments. I want to take the list and allow the use of one item at a time when marking up a plan. For example, one of the comments could say, "Provide rating where adjacent…
Hi I was wondering if anyone that's been using match filters in the advanced options for batch overlay pages that could help me? I have two documents and would like to match the pages.

Hello everyone. To day I am posing a question that I hope someone can assist me with. In short what I want is to know if Bluebeam is capable of opening a File (any type at all) from a CAD program such as Microstation or AutoCad, and recognize a line as an actual line, instead of just as an image (PDF)? A bit of background:…
Does anyone else have issues with using web email to send your Quotes (Or anything else PDF) out using REVU? I am constantly having emails go out late, Not go at all. This is a mission critical thing for me when I wear the estimator hat. These Estimates need to go out NOW. So the workaround must be to go to the file path…
I have a client that would like to use the functions and features found in the Prime Portal. Namely reactivating a finished Session. Is this in the org. admin. portal? If so how is it accessed? Thank you Vinnie Stamato
I was sent a drawing in Word format so I used the bluebeam pdf printer to convert the file type. The problem that I'm having is that when I open it to measure the normal navigation controls don't work and when you zoom in the drawing quality gets bad. Looking for any assistance anyone can provide. Thank you!
Do you know of an integration between Bluebeam and Procore that allows Bluebeam to mark up plans and sync to Procore? Thank you Vinnie Seattle WA
Tooltip is temperamental and mostly doesn't show, very incontinence, just wondering if anyone can help or has any comments?
Hi, is there a way to add an oval shape callout in Bluebeam? In my industry, we often use oval callouts to identify equipment, but currently, only rectangle, circle, triangle, and hexagon options are available. It would be great to have an oval shape option or the ability to adjust the circle dimensions to create an oval.…
After my last update… When I add a Dimension to a pdf the extension lines are way to long. Sometimes putting them off the edge of the page. I have: set and checked scale checked dim line and text size any ideas….
