I did a quick search here and I was not able to find that this was asked here. But was BB recently updated to have the "repeat last" command? and if not, is there a plan to add this?
Can you please expand on this a bit more? I don't know of any 'commands' in Bluebeam. If you mean reuse the last tool then that is down in your status bar:
this will allow you to reuse the selected markup tool repeatedly without having to re-select it after each use. You then hit ESC to end using it.
I am using Auto CAD lingo here a bit, I apologize.
For me, the "reuse markup tool" has no effect. Tool stays active regardless.
In AutoCAD, after you ESC from a command, you can reactive last used tool with hitting spacebar. So is there a similar option in BlueBeam. After you ESC from a tool, to have an option/hotkey that will reselect the last used tool.
I understood what you meant by command and agree, sometimes you didn't plan to reuse a markup tool so even if you knew about the ' Reuse Markup Tool' feature that @Duane Gingras mentioned (I didn't), you may want to be able to right-click and have the last tool listed for quick access.
And thanks for the tip Duane.
Alright. I just learned that "reuse markup tool" works only for the markups in the toolbox. not line, text, etc. Those are by default "reusable". Like @Luke Shiras said, an option to select the last select tool. Granted hotkeys are useful, but sometimes, you are using a tool that you do not use that often and option to reselect it quickly (like spacebar in Auto CAD) would go long ways.
👆️This, this is why I started learning shortcuts. Even though my tool bars were easy to navigate, the extra time to move my mouse back and forth can add up after a while, especially on larger monitors.
Ah, i see what you mean. I f you use a tool and then go back to cursor you would like a quick way to go back to that last used tool. Short answer is, No.
However you can do the following. if there are tools that you typically use on a regular basis drag then to you 'my tools section' and then you just press the corresponding number on your keyboard. This is an example of my "My Tools"
The little numbers in the top right of each tool is your short cut. These are the tools i use on a daily basis so i just tap a number between 1 and 14 to select any tool. I also move things around in "My Tools" as needed. My full set in "My Tools" is 32 entries, but i regularly only use the top 6 or 7 spots. Press 3 to add a comments, ESC, press 4 to add comment with leader, ESC… and so on. All my typical tools are within reach of my left had.
Not everyone that uses BlueBeam is a power user. I personally have no problems, but I am thinking about other coworkers that do not use it as often and/or are not BB savvy. Is there a way to elevate this question to BB developers?
I'm currently working on customizing the engineering review stamp from the custom libraries, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to edit it without disabling the pop-up feature that appears when placing the stamp. Ideally, I want the pop-up to remain active so that the reviewer can fill out the required fields…
Good Afternoon, I am new to Bluebeam. I downloaded the program and can utilize it minimally. Separately (and a month after downloading Bluebeam), my employer added me to their subscription. Adding me hasn't seemed to also add the functionality that others have access to. Does anyone know how to somehow link my current…
For some reason, I am not signed in utilizing Revu. I click the sign in button and nothing happens. If I click it quick enough, it actually will show my username for a split second and then goes back to "Sign In". I am unable to find anything. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? I noticed this issue prior to upgrading…
Good morning, I logged a ticket with support but no response yet. I cleared the registry by doing a complete uninstall of all previous versions and used the Bluebeam Cleaner Utility (but that only goes back to 21.0.3. I also ran the latest download as an administrator yet the only thing that installs is OCR and when it…

Any tips on how to stop these appearing please? thanks in advance Joel PS I'm trying to attach an image but keep getting a permission error?
Hey Brains Trust, Using spaces for Takeoff. When I mark the space on a GA Drawings and copy / paste to an Elec drawing the space rotates as shown in the pics… What causes this and is there a way to stop this happening? There is no option to rotate this and its doubling work.
Ever since the (fairly) recent server "upgrade" I get disconnected from the Bluebeam servers several times a day and it's an annoyance. Is everyone else in the US having a similar experience? I came here just to post the item above, so that's the main issue I want to resolve. But it was even more annoying just getting to…
I have been using Revu to build quantity take-offs for construction estimates, I’m trying to clean up the organization and structure of the markups. I typically sort the markups by the subject, but I need to be able to re-sort the line items before I export the take-off. I can’t manually move items on the markup list up or…
is there a way to create page labels for a drawing set (ie 60-100+ pages), and then also add page numbering for sequential order (ie # prefix in front of custom page label)? it seems you can do one or the other, but not both?
In the existing Studio Project, I want to reorganize the folders without downloading them to my local drive and then uploading them back to the Studio Project. If I do that, I will lose the history of changes made to the set of drawings. Is there a way to move the folders within the Studio Project?
