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.
How do I export all pdfs into one? I am going in a field visit tomorrow and I am trying to use a revu project in the field.
I have a user that as of this morning is experiencing an issue with typing spaces into any markup text entry field. Text boxes, Callouts, comments etc. The behavior is a bit hard to describe so bare with me. If the preceding character to the typed space is a letter or most symbols then the space does not appear normally…
Just recently I get this dialog box when using File/Open pulldown. I can use the Open From Disk button to get to the local server our files are stored. Does anyone know how this default changed or how to change it back? Thanks!
Why all of sudden are my files loading slow regardless of how I open them and how I change my hardware or rendering settings. I have been using Bluebeam for years with no issues like this until directly after the update. Below is the version I have…any help or insight would be appreciated..
Anyone else having issues with applying a markup filter and the drawings aren't graying out the filtered-out markups? Is that an error or an update to the latest version? I've got my filtered annotation dimmed to 40%
Is it possible to use Blue Beam to tell me the slope of a ditch in terms of 3:1 to:1 4:1 using the measure tools or any other tricks?
I'll start by saying that I'm concerned with how the Bluebeam Cloud app for iPad functions compared to the old Bluebeam iPad app for our companies work flow. We have a set of custom .btx files we use to create punch lists during deficiency reviews on our iPads. How do I load our custom .btx files into the Bluebeam Cloud…
When creating a legend for Square Footage I can get the quantity for each space, but is there a way to get a summation at the bottom?
I am using Revu x64 and can't figure possible easy solution. How to make text line extend horizontally, every time when I create text box and my text doesn't fit it jumps to the second line instead of pushing box wall and keep the same line. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help with it.
I am very confused by the interface and by the fact most tutorials are from older interfaces. All i need to do is takeoff, with a legend, that i can export quantities from. can someone give me a step by step tutorial on how to do so?
