Great idea (it can be hard to select an object from crowded areas) but this has been really badly implemented unfortunately. The pop up crowds the area around the cursor and often obscures either the control point or the place where you want to drag the control point to.
See below where the control point is obscured by the pop up:
If you hold shift while moving a control point and you release it next to the pop up, the control point often isn't adjusted but does leave a black line behind which disappears once you press esc. This means you are limited in where you can adjust a control point. See the image below where the control point can no longer be adjusted.
Please please please give us the option to turn off features like this!
Hey @Andrew Shields,
I went ahead and split and moved your post for visibility. Thanks for providing screenshots!
You can turn off Selection Cycle in the Preferences menu. It's just a radio button you can toggle on/off.
I find the feature useless for my workflow, and it was easy to disable. That said, even if I did use it, the feature was pretty annoying how it covered the area where you were immediately working. Just a really bizarre feature with even more bizarre UI.
@bwiginton Thank you!!!
Yeah, it could be implemented a little better I suppose.
It's pretty easy to work around though. Zoom-in/out to adjust the placement of the pop-up in relation to your markup. You can hold shift while scrolling to zoom (even if you have to hold ctrl as well because you're in continuous mode).
I'm happy to see that there is a way to disable this new feature because it is a bit clunky. It would be nice if you didn't have to go in to preferences to turn it on and off. Maybe just adding an option to turn it on and off easily like the "snap to content", "snap to grid" etc.
I would love it if I was able to rebind the key from shift to something else. The feature has been useful the few times I've needed it, but It otherwise gets so much in the way that I just cant justify keeping it enabled
@STR - Kristin - I can see it going either way. Storing certain options away in preferences is helpful. Like switching on/off the cursor crosshairs or changing from dark theme to light theme. It could be useful being right in the Interface, but there comes a point where it's just too much going on to be productive. I think that the fact that the feature can be a sensory overload issue anyways makes it good to be stored away in preferences. I certainly agree with making it something we can turn on/off though. Definitely a good call on Bluebeam's part, IMO.
@M1ndstorms - That would be cool, but are there any other customizable key bindings that are held down? I think it's not really in the cards with the way the program functions.
We are trying to standardize user permissions by creating Groups in Bluebeam Studio. It seems to be that Groups are individual user based and I also had an issue where a user invited to a group on one project automatically got invited to another group when that same user group was added to that project. Anybody else use…
My issue is a question/idea but is it currently possible to save/reuse selected Page Regions made when creating new Thumbnail Page Labels or in Bookmarks. We use the Page Labels/Bookmarks 'Page Region' feature to extract out drawing title block information, but I have to redo the same region selections for each new package…
I have been trying to create a link between my Bluebeam markups and a corresponding Excel Document/Table. I was curious if there is a way or a JavaScript Code that would allow me to export my markups list and then Bluebeam will update that export when I save it after I have made changes to it. I have used power query in…
Hello all, New to Revu.. I've set the scale on the measurement tool, but when I measure a known size on the drawing, it is showing a smaller size. I've noticed that the page size of the plan is 8.5x11. It's the only difference I've seen from previous plans I've recently done without a problem. Can you advise what I need to…

When creating a quantity link, can I filter items based on selected criteria? For instance, I have 5 subjects and each contains 10 label items, I'd like to display only the label items for the chosen subject. Currently, all 50 items are shown, regardless of the subject selected. Is there a way to achieve this filtering…
Looking for a good way to migrate data stored in BlueBeam Cloud to Microsoft SharePoint site without losing any of the meta data along the way.
I am trying to figure out if there's a way to take a comment list and use the list to mark-up plans. We have a standard list in Word that has about 100 comments. I want to take the list and allow the use of one item at a time when marking up a plan. For example, one of the comments could say, "Provide rating where adjacent…
