Sometimes right click will drop it, but most times I must select a new tool before escape will work. and no, my reuse markup tool is not engaged when this happens.
I've experienced this too from time to time. I think it's just a quirk of some tools to need overridden instead of just being backed out of. I could be wrong about that, but I have most of the common tools set to keyboard shortcuts that serve me just fine so I usually just choose the next tool and keep going anyways. Could you tell us which tools you've experienced that with today?
When it gets sticky, all tool types refuse the escape key option. If it gets particularly stubborn, I save all that is open and reboot Revu. 3 out of 5 times that settles it. Where it's particularly burdensome is when I want to type into the placed markup. The cursor won't appear until I've dropped the sticky tool.
I just don't know how to replicate that. The only time I've had even a little trouble with a tool getting stuck, I just needed to hit the hotkey for another similar tool and it would let go of the one I was stuck on. When that didn't work, I might end up crashing Bluebeam, but the doc loads back up with the backup version. Never been a big issue. Have you reached out to Bluebeam's support directly?
Thank you for getting back to me. I tried to find that support option unsuccessfully. Is how I ended up trying this route. Please advise on how I might connect to that service. This issue has an impact on productivity and the workarounds are tedious. I love the functionality Bluebeam offers to our production team, just wishing I could move a bit faster with it.
You can find tech support in the app. Go to Help > Technical Support. Then you can search for your issue or go to the bottom of the page and select 'Submit a Ticket'.
I've always been pleased with Bluebeam's Support team. Maybe someone else will swoop in with an answer, but this is the best I an offer with my experience. lol
After the recent update, my search function does not work any more. I have tried my files including the ones I have successfully searched words in before the update. Is this a bug? How can it be fixed?
Just wondering what everyone is using in the field other than an IPad? Any Galaxy Tab, etc. users out there? If so, have you got any feedback?
I have plotted two drawings from AutoCAD to PDF (each a single page). When I open them separately in Bluebeam, their layers show up as expected. When I insert the second page into the same PDF as the first page, the layers are no longer showing for the second page. How do I get the layers to come along with the PDF when I…
Did a quick search and found nothing. Maybe I am missing it, but is there a way to customize right click menu? Thanks in advance…
New Year new problems😶 we are trying to setup our field iPads to use BlueBeam and are having issues.

What is this icon in Studio Session? How do I address it? Clear it?:
is Bluebeam going to add more tools to the cloud based app? such as stamp, measure/dimension and count.
My autofill descriptions list for the Count Subject has grown too big. When I begin to type in the Subject field of the "Count Measurement Properties" I get a list that is too big. I would like to clear this suggestion list. They are not "Subjects" that I have used in current PDF I am working on. They are the combined…
Hello, I received an email from Bluebeam stating that I was a part of their beta testing community. I have explored the new features, such as offset and markup conversion, but I haven't found the AI prompt capability. Is this available with BluebeamMax beta? I have paid subscriptions for Bluebeam (premium) and Claude.…
Hi all, I've recently been following the hype about working out of Bluebeam Sets as I'm looking for ways to streamline our workflow. I did have a question about viewing markups particularly when you are working with individual extracted drawing files as that seems like it gives you the best performance when working off of…
