Show replys as pop-up markup notes

Carina

I assumed this How to print pop-up comments | Bluebeam Technical Support was a way to show a reply as a physical markup on a sheet as a note. But this doesn't seem to be the case (I'm assuming this is for printing markup summaries?)

Is there a way to show replys on a sheet as something as simple as a note for printing?

@Carina There are a couple ways you could do this depending on how you would like things to look. You could add a summary report to the set of drawings and all replies will show up in that report grouped together. Alternatively, you could keep everything in the main comment and follow the instructions in the article you linked above. The pop-up comment will print a text box looking item on the drawing, but it will only show things in the main comment not replies.

How to print replies:
If it is a true reply it will look like this

You would be able to print it like this:

1. Select the summary button.

2. Select print summary or PDF summary. If you choose a PDF summary you can append and hyperlink to the pdf to create another page in the document with the summary. This page will be hyperlinked so if you click on the image of the markup, it will take you to that markup in the document.

You will get a report that looks like this

It has an image of the markup next to it, and the replies will be grouped with the original markup.

Alternatively, you could be creative with the comment section. If you reply directing in the main comment you would be able to print that on the drawing. That would look like this.

If you have print pop-up comments enabled then the image below has a preview of what the printed text box would look like.

I would love to see @Carina's suggestion become a feature. Would definitely improve our workflow.
