Extend snap to markup to the Document Overlay Process

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hi BlueBeam,

I found that I am unable to snap to a markup line during manual alignment of documents in the Overlay Documents command. One of my contributors omitted the grid lines from the drawing set they marked up. I need to extend wall lines to intersect with other geometry so I can align my drawings. I added markup lines to snap to but find that even with the Snap to Markup option selected it doesn't snap to markup in the manual alignment window.

Have you tried flattening the markups you want to snap to? I don't know if that's necessary to get it to snap, but that would be my guess. I basically have mine set to snap to everything. Do your preferences have things like Snap to Intersections selected? One of those options might also do it for you. Hopefully someone more versed in these things can chime in with more certainty, but I wanted to give some feedback as soon as possible to hopefully get you back up and running.

In a pinch, make sure your Full-Screen Crosshair is selected - Revu Menu/Preferences/General tab/Options

When snap may not behave as you have set it too, usually based on data characteristics of the backgrounds, layers, or render Order of your overlays, the Full-Screen Crosshair will help you align objects across the composition.

Otherwise, I hope @bcostlow has given you the right answer.

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.

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.
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.
