I miss having the Loupe tool that Acrobat has, where you can magnify a small area, without having to change your zoom level or position.
Are you using a 3 button mouse with a wheel? I have found the zoom/pan with a wheel mouse quite intuitive to zoom in to view specific areas and then back out to the larger area quickly… never thought about needing a separate tool for that.
I do this with split screen. I pop out the second view and make it a smaller window. by defualt in floats above your base instance on Bluebeam (i drag it on and off screen as required). And i can also keep Thumbnails open. This way I have my main drawing, a zoomed portion and a thumbnail that shows me where I zoomed into. For drawing reviews, I would use the floating window to zoom in on project or construction notes, or smaller drawing details. If you have mastered the use of the scroll wheel on your mouse then this works quickly (scroll when 'fit to page' is enabled, ctrl+scroll when 'scrolling pages' is enabled). There are other ways to zoom in and out but they are slower.
I agree that the loupe tool was quick and nimble to zoom into just a portion of the pdfs. Wish it was an added tool.
Agreed, @CFKellogg - I miss the Loupe tool. It's faster and less cumbersome than any other method I've seen.
I wish for the tool, too, @Andrea
As a Windows, Mac & Linux user plus Bentley cad products, GIS, Google Earth, different browsers, scrolling techniques, shortcut keys, it's frustrating with everything so different and backwards, one from the other. Much easier with the Loupe, but I ditched Acrobat. I have too much muscle memory on too many apps that I constantly get it mixed up everywhere.
Oh well, I'll have to settle for the lesser.
Please add the ability to allow some users to edit/delete other peoples comments. This can be controlled through permissions. At our organisation when reviewing drawings there is a review manager that consolidates comments before sending them back. This process occurs regardless of if we are using Bluebeam or another tool.…
Add folders for studio sessions to organize the list of recent Studio sessions. Some of our clients utilize one Studio session per deliverable on large projects that have multiple reviewers. It can be quite a task to find the one studio session for a smaller project amidst the rows and rows of studio sessions per…
With more people using bluebeam as a CAD/drawing program. It would be nice if bullet points/numbers points with auto text indent was a feature.
It would be helpful to have an autosave function for PDFs being used in Revu. Currently this does not exist and would be very beneficial.
It would be great be able to see to whom and when the "alert attendee" has been done. Today you can see exactly who and when markups has been accepted but there are no info at all if a markup has been alerted to someone.
It would be a huge time saver to have keyboard shortcuts for assigning markup statuses. Numerous workflows (e.g. QA/QC and design reviews, punch/back-check) involve multiple status changes for markups, and often times there are multiple statuses (or state models) to choose from. On large projects, with 100's if not 1,000's…
I hope you're doing well. I'm reaching out because I have a couple of suggestions that I think could make Bluebeam even better. First off, I've been really impressed with the new ARM-based Windows machines, especially those using the Snapdragon Elite X. They’re powerful, have great battery life—kind of like MacBooks in…
