Page scale - list of presets

michaelwenthold · 2025-03-05T23:27:15+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

For context, I use Revu in a QA/QC role reviewing drawings. There is a built-in list of preset page scales. I have ZERO need for the Architectural scales. I work in engineering scales (most commonly 1"=50', 1"=100').

In the software preferences, one/both of the following should be added:

a. the option to remove/hide unwanted scales from that preset list

b. the ability to re-order the preset list, so the never-used scales are at least at the bottom and out of the way.

Also, instead of having to use the calibrate option each time, the user should be able to add a new scale to that preset list, for example 1"=150".

This is part of the basic functionality in Autocad (my background). It seems that it wouldn't be difficult from a software engineering standpoint.

Edit: Here's something you could try. If it works, just ignore the rest of the comment. lol

When applying a scale to a page, select custom, and then input the scale you want to use. Then, select "+Add Preset". This will add your custom scale to the list of saved presets (custom scales go to the top of the list).

This won't delete the default list, but it will place your preferred list at the top, so the rest won't even matter really.

Original: I agree that it would be nice to do some sort of organizing at the very least. Maybe a pin or favorites type feature? Then the scales wouldn't be deleted forever, but they also wouldn't feel as cumbersome maybe? Either way, I'm with you on this one.

Edit/Unlock markups in Studio Sessions
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!
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…
Bullet points & Indent text
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.
Auto Save
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.
Alert attendee log
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.
Keyboard Shortcuts for Assigning Statuses
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…
Optimisation for the new arm based windows machines
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…
