A short key for rotating a markup/text/image 90 degrees clockwise

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Wouldn't it be great to have a short key (TAB) to rotate any object 90 degrees clockwise?

I use bluebeam alot to do building checks, using prefixed dimensions (rooms) but also to Sketch/draw alternative plans with markup tools. now everytime i want to rotate an object i have to go to the properties of that object to type the rotation angle.

I shouldn't be hard to program this short key script imho.

anyone else who would like this function or created some bypass allready?

That would be very nice. The only other way I even know of to rotate is dragging the handle bar. I would love to be able to layout an electric room and then select a group of panels, copy them and then paste them in a rotated orientation so I could quickly show various layout options. Placing panels in a closet, with them facing in varying directions would be a lot easier with an option like this.

Yes please!!!!

I would add that it should also work before placing the item, would save so much time and frustration.

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…
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…
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.
