Keyboard Shortcut Key Request:
Add ability for the user to select a single layer to be assigned to a keyboard shortcut key for toggling on and off that layer.
Example:
Layers:
Main document
Overlay document #1
Overlay document #2
Right click overlay document #1 layer > assign to layer shortcut key > toggle on/off assigned layer using shortcut.
Then, when I am done comparing document #1, I can assign document #2 to the shortcut key and toggle it on/off.
More info on my workflow and why this feature would help speed up reviews on my end.
I am reviewing construction documents and so my situation involves checking a structural framing plan vs. other disciplines. I will use the overlay feature to align my plans to the other disciplines plan sheets. I will assign each disciplines plan to specific layers in Bluebeam. Then I will toggle on and off layers as needed.
During the review, the overlay document often covers up information on my main document and I need to toggle that layer off to see my document better….then toggle it back on to continue the comparison process.
Currently, there is not a shortcut key for toggling layers on/off. The current process involves me using the layer toolbar to toggle on/off layers. This involves me taking my eyes off the sheet I am reviewing to find the layer I want to toggle off, then look back at the sheet I am reviewing while that layer is off, then take my eyes off the sheet again to find the layer I want to toggle back on so that I can continue my review with the overlay sheet on.
Depending on the size of the plans I am reviewing, I will turn off/on a specific layer a dozen times to several hundred times. Stopping to look for the toggle on/off button for a specific layer slows down my workflow.
I tried a java script for this but all solutions I was able to find required the use of a button and not a shortcut.
