How do I create a markup shortcut that I created?
Correct. That is the DGL Tool Set. If you add a tool to the My Tools chest, any tool(s) there will be numbered. I believe that's the only way to give a shortcut like command to a custom markup. I know it limits the usefulness in some ways, but I hope that helps.
Could it be this setting keeping you from accessing the hotkeys?
It looks like you have applied some custom properties to an out of the box (OOTB) markup and want to re-use that markup with the setting you have applied. If you right click on that custom markup, near the bottom of that pop up menu you will see "Add to Tool Chest >".
Click that option and select which one you would like to add it to. I suggest choosing "My Tools" so you can build your collection of custom Bluebeam Tools.
Is that what you wanted to accomplish?
Thank you your response.
I have already done that but wanted to assign a shortcut key for that markup. Is that possible?
As far as I know, keyboard shortcuts can only be added to the tools and commands that are already listed in that settings window.
Perhaps someone else knows a way to add custom My Tools there with the Import button.
Thank you for the feedback.
If you move the markup to your My Tools chest, it creates a hotkey for it. You can use the number assigned to the tool as a "shortcut" key.
Edit: I apologize for the late response. I was out of town. I hope this helps though.
Good morning, thank you for the response. When I look in my tool chest, it doesn't have the number like yours. Please see bellow:
How do you activate these tools with the numbers?
The tools that I created and added to my tool set are not numbered, but I made them default the keyboard shortcuts works for them now. You can also reassign the shortcut key if you would like (make sure they are not correctly assigned). Click on Revu-keyboard shortcuts to get the screen bellow.
That is the pop-up window I went to to try assigning shortcuts to "My Tools" after seeing your post. I am still unclear on how you can assign shortcuts to custom tools in this interface.
But it looks like you have figured it out…
I hope this helps.
Add the tool to "My Tools" and then type the number of the tool's place in the set. So, the first tool is 1, second is 2, and so on. Sometimes I don't see the numbers, but the function still persists.
If utilizing the method that @Debora Leal outlined, you'll get the default settings of the markup tool you assigned the shortcut to. If that is adequate for your purposes then so be it. I try to keep common tool shortcuts dedicated to memory, but my markups I change the most throughout a project, I make sure to turn into a custom markup, sort it into a logical (to me) set and then put my favorites in My Tools and just use the hotkeys it assigns.
Just make sure to right-click the tool and change it to Properties Mode if you want to draw the shapes and such yourself. If you want it more like a stamp, then Drawing Mode should be good.
I hope that helped.
That is what I wanted to do, but it didn't work for me. I don't have the numbers next to the customized tools that I created, and number 1, 2, 3 doesn't work. I was not able to reassign a shortcut key for them either.

I'm wondering if anyone has ever discovered a workaround for Revu requiring admin rights to install updates. This has become unwieldy and inconvenient for our users. I was thinking of experimenting with giving users full control on some program folders or assets but I thought I would reach out so I'm not reinventing the…

Hi Community! I'm creating a drawing status stamp for my Team of Design Managers. We are a major contractor. I have created a finished template (containing two drawing statuses with tickboxes within it). I have 2 x issues I'm facing so far; one being around the Dynamic Date Tool and the other being Dynamic Tickbox Tool.…
I would like to know what is the best method to go through a project and begin to capture info for RFI's?
I was trying to figure out how to change the text size 1 to size 0.5 and every time I use the font size text box to change the number to 0.50 it'll default the size to 8. Is there a way to change the text size smaller then 1?
We need help. We use Bluebeam Revu to edit PDFs with stamps and text modules. At first, it worked. We work at two workstations and log in normally. For a few days now, we've been opening PDFs. When we start up, the editing bar on the page becomes active. Then it loads the PDF, and the bar becomes inactive. I've tried…
Our work laptops were running two different versions of Bluebeam, and in both of those versions, we were unable to use the Microsoft Office add-ins. We keep hearing that there is a problem with Bluebeam, and I am curious whether anyone else is having the same problem. I'm interested in learning if the problem is a…
Currently, the final output consists of only the intersection of matched pages between specified current and revised files. Please let me know if it's possible to include pages that did not match from the specified revised file in the output PDF.
When I go to Tools → Stamp and select a stamp, it displays the full file name in the dropdown, regardless of the title I set under the Properties of the stamp. This is a bit inconvenient, as I would prefer to see the stamp's title. The dropdown under File → New PDF from Template shows the title from the properties, which…
