I've been trying to find a way to translate Counts to markups. I suggested it as an Idea in the Community, but has either gotten ignored or assumingly there may be already a way to do this. To get a better understanding on why I'm trying to chase the following: I work as a Project Engineering for an Electrical…
Hello, I'm pricing a job that has both LF measurements for wall base and Wall Area measurements for wall panels. I currently have a formula calculating Raw Material Cost (custom column) which is: Measurement * Material. I have multiple other columns building off this value to add various other data. (Mark-up on material,…
Is anyone aware of a setting that will allow me to navigate between cells in the markups list with the directional arrows, tab key, or enter/return button on the keyboard similar to inputting data in excel? We sometimes use the Markups list to collect additional data from drawings and it can be slightly laborious when…
When i try to edit the text by double clicking into the "Notes" column i created, an autofill box appears and i can't edit text. This is frustrating. Does anyone have an idea of how to fix this?
Hey guys! Got a coworker who's having issues being able to input text into a text based custom column. When he goes through the properties panel it lets him edit the property to his heart's content. The problem is that in his workflow he usually makes those changes through the markups list instead but it suddenly stopped…
Did they remove the ability to organize customs columns by alphabetical order? There use to be a button you could press and it would do it for you automatically but it is gone now. If I press item it will organize it like before but it will not save it. Anyone having the same issue?
Hi, I would like to request the functionality to export the points of lines created by the mark-up tool. (Currently only the begin point is available, but both start and end points are needed.) I see the end point coordinates are available in the properties, but there is not currently a way to export that data. This would…
I am in the HVAC industry doing test and balance of commercial HVAC systems. We mark up prints with custom tools, number diffusers in the order we read them. We input the into custom columns the following; Room number and name (text input) Diffuser number. (text input) CFM value. (number value) Diffuser size. (Choice with…
I'm looking to automate a custom column (or columns) by grouping 2-4 dimensions, and then having the total show up in the 'width' column (figured this part out) but having the individual dimensions separately show up in another column. ie, the example here is 4 dimensions, they are grouped together with a total width of…
My team regularly receives markups from clients that come in two files, one a PDF with a callout such as 'C-001' and then an Excel sheet that will list 'C-001' with test in the adjoining column. Now this is just a frustration on our end and something the clients will not budge on. I am curious if there is a way to bring…

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.…

Is there a way to apply multiple digital signatures to a document without having to Save after each signature?
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….
This is a simple question. When I've 'Checked Out' a document in my BB Studio Project and added mark-ups, does it automatically Save when I 'Check In'? Or should I click save first, and then Check In?
Occasionally, during a session a user will not see the status options needed to set the state. The occurrence is not tied to a specific user or session. This issue has persisted for years, and I am still searching for a solution - aside from additional markings or highlights in the session markups. Anyone else experiencing…
I was hoping to find a way to filter sessions by "My Status", so I can quickly see those I have marked as "reviewing" or "finished", but I do not see that as an option in any of the dropdowns that are visible to me. Does anyone know if this is possible? Thanks in advance!
Greetings, I have a question that I can't seem to find the answer. Hopefully I can get some help here. Is it possible to overlay and also compare two PDFs? When we only compare the files, we only see the cloud and sometimes it's not easy to tell what is the difference. If I can also overlay those PDFs, I can see the color…
What is the best way to track project issues? I have issues that are emailed to me by my contractor customers and need some way to flag it and remember to follow up on it. I am having too many emails fall through the cracks and are not resolved in a timely manner.
Hey everyone, first time post! So I'm a spec writer and am trying to convert pdfs into Word docs. Which is easy…except when Bluebeam creates the Word doc, all of the paragraph levels are assigned to the same Word styles. As an example, in the attached image all of the paragraphs are the same "List Paragraph" style in Word.…
