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.
I have a PDF form created by a third-party. Every time I try adding my digital signature, the form turns black and illegible. Has anyone run in this? Any thoughts? I tried refilling the form and resigning, but it just happened a second time.
Just attended my first Tips & Tricks webinar earlier this week. It was great! Today I received an email from Stephanie with a link to watch an on-demand video. Unfortunately, I'm not able to visit the site (I receive an error message - see below)
Is there a tool which can apply a template to an existing PDF document? I can do it with the overlay tool, but its not efficient. I am currently specifically attempting to apply a letterhead to a PDF document without having to using snapshot, etc.
We were messing with settings now all the tools in my tool box are numbered and now I can't find the setting to get rid of the numbers next to the tools.
Long post for context: Yesterday I was trying to compare a revised architectural to realize that the floor plan has shifted in both the X and Y, so this morning I did a page snapshot. What I would like to know is, is there a way to snap to a point on the snapshot and move it to a point on the drawing?
In our work, we frequently need to compare floor plan drawings. Often, we have to compare older drawings from archives with very new and detailed ones. The scales of these drawings often differ — sometimes from 1:100 to 1:200, but more commonly with small variations of 1–5% at a detailed level. Our current workflow is as…
I found this support article, but I don't see the options shown in the screenshot to send to Cloud. At the bottom of the tool set menu I only see Manage Tool Sets, there's no Send Tool Sets to Bluebeam Cloud.
Hi I'm new here, joined to ask this questions. I started having an issue this week, where when I select the typewriter tool or text box nothing happens, pretty much rendering useless a big part of bluebeam for me. driving me nuts. Tried the basics, or re-opening, different files, restarting, different profiles, etc.…
I'm trying to figure out how "sets" works in Bluebeam to mark out the old documents and showing me the new changes in the addendums. when I create a set in Bluebeam and run it, they seem to be the same, but I can clearly see changes in design or whatever they are changing in the new addendums.
