Option to not select locked markups

Josh Gebelein · 2024-07-18T17:05:07+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Often when marking things up I have a difficult time when background images and prior markups keep getting accidentally selected or moved when placing new markups on top.

Please add an option to not select locked markups. So when this option is active and a markup is locked, it will not be selectable by 1) mouse click, 2) lasso selection, 3) CTRL+A. Locked markups would still be selectable using the markups list.

This option could go under Preferences > Tools > Markup. It would be helpful to have a toggle for this option on the status bar.

Alternatively, allow the Layer > Lock option to have this behavior. So if you put markups on a layer and lock that layer, it would make all the things in that layer not selectable other than through the markups list.

Hi @Josh Gebelein,

Thank you so much for reaching out to us about an option to make locked markups unselectable, and we've taken note of your request. While we may not be able to accommodate every feature request, we greatly value knowing which features are important to you. Could you share anymore detail about how you are using Sessions? Any additional information you could offer would be much appreciated.

Please let us know if there’s anything else we can do or if you have any other questions. We look forward to collaborating in the future.

This would be immensely helpful. At times we need to copy select markups from one drawing set to another. Select All often includes markups that are native to the original document (eg. text) that is locked and that we don't want to copy, but because we can't bulk unselect Locked items it becomes incredibly tedious to find and unselect them all so that we can transfer over the markups we need.

can we have have the option to not select objects in a different layer, because its hard to select objects.

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.
