In Revu Complete, there is an option to use Live Link to link measurements with cells in Excel. Here is a LINK to a YouTube clip that shows this feature. Bluebeam also lets you customise your linetypes for Markups and Measurements. Here is a LINK to Custom Linetypes.
My tip is to create a ToolSet of at least 80% of all the measurements that you will need. If you are going to link Bluebeam to Excel, you need consistent, "clean" data.Now linking from Bluebeam is great, I have made and seen some great workflows, just note that you will need to map all the data variations in Bluebeam to a single cell in Excel. So if you have 5 markups, with 3 variations thats 15 mapped links. If these have another 2 levels of options, say another 5 and then 3 that 5x3x2x5=150 mapped links. At some point you may prefer to use Export to .csv and review the data in Excel another way.
You have some experimentation to do, but the work is worth it.
Good luck.2
