How can I change measurements, dimensions & calibration, from architectural to engineering units?
Ah, yes. I poked around and found this. When a dimension is selected, these options show up at the top. Switch to the ft option and it will give you decimal feet.
You should have engineering scales as an option when you set the scale on the sheet. Are you looking for something other than what's available or do you mean something different?

Luke thanks - I mean different. After setting a custom scale for a certain drawing sheet (that's an engineering plan) I want dimensioning (measurements) to show as e.g. 23.25 ft, and 106.5 ft, and not as e.g. 23'-3", and 106'-6".
In other words decimal feet.
So who remembers poking around in units menus in AutoCAD and discovering that they go all the way up to LIGHTYEARS!?!
I cannot access Bluebeam cloud on the iPad through any browser (tried edge and chrome). Can only use the app. I created a session and placed my PDF site plan in it. I also then placed all the all the mark-ups I had in my tool set that I want to use in the PDF. I was hoping to be able to copy, past, and edit them where I…
Hi all We are relatively new to Bluebeam but use it every day in our work, it's a great tool that has helped us immensely since we started using it. However, we recently updated to the latest version and since then we are having a bit of trouble, we have contacted technical support and they have given us a couple of…
Hi all, I am looking into automating PDF overlays to compare architectural changes. Since there are more than 100 drawings, I am trying to create a hook that triggers when files are updated in the folder, automatically overlaying the PDFs and saving the output to a specified destination.
How can I delete a portion of the info from the Title where a file has hundreds of pages? The reason is when I send the file to the subcontractor, I dont want them to view my client's info or the project info. Only the drawing is enough.
In Bluebeam Revu 21, when I click on a markup, the properties tab does not update to show the properties of the selected markup. The only way I have found to fix this is to close and restart Revu. But this problem keeps repeating almost every day, it is extremely frustrating when adding markups to have to repeatedly…
Is there a way to set a customized Tool Chest/Tool Box as the "My Tools" default, so that the symbols/markups you have in your custom set can have the number shortcuts? I have created my own "My Tools" with customized formatted markups. However, I was hoping to share them with others in the office so they don't have to…
Is there a way to adjust the way a Markup/Callout can be input into a document when it comes from the Tool Chest? "My Tools" are setup with pre-formatted callouts for certain types of Quality Reviews of Construction documents. The formatting is office-wide. I created the shortcuts so i can have a "Hot Key" associated to…
What's up ya'll?! Does anyone else have a recurring copy/paste issue where you are not allowed to copy a markup and paste onto a different sheet within the same file? This has only recently appeared. The issue is resolved when I restart my computer but simply restarting bluebeam does not solve the issue. I am on the latest…
Hello - Does anyone know of any companies that review the quality of construction drawings prior to construction? Any that utilize AI? Thank you!
Hi, I am trying to figure out the best way to do collaborative P&ID markups with multiple colleagues using Bluebeam. We would like to do real-time collaborative markups of P&ID:s without having to check files in and out and then being able to download one or more files from the session to send to other disciplines, without…
