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 had a drawing sent to me. It was perhaps put together buy cut and paste. If I am on any ink and try to move the whole page, I end up moving parts of the drawing. This does not happen on other drawings. Is there a way to stop this?
Has anyone else had the issue of Custom Columns saved to the profile not being applied to drawings? Lately I've had to make sure that they've been applied by applying them manually. Seems to be since the 21.6 upgrade
Has anyone else noticed a bit of a lag when changing your tool from Drawing Mode to Properties Mode? It seems to be a thing from 21.6.
Everytime i start a new pdf the first thing I have to do i change it to Fit to Page so I can see the whole pdf.
Im a builder and im looking for the best way to use bluebeam onsite for quick marks ups or inspections. Does anyone use bluebeam desktop on a surface tablet?
Self explanatory. What am I missing here. Where is the markup features on the iPhone app?
My colleague is using a surface laptop studio. He has an issue with Bluebeam and the zoom function with touchscreen. When he uses his fingers it zooms the wrong way around. Are there any solutions? Using Desktop Revu 21.
Does anyone else have this issue? This is the second time this happened to me and my entire office… it is really starting to make me think Bluebeam isn't has beneficial as it should be. My contract/subscription included 4 seats. I am the organization administrator for all of the seats and was notified at the beginning of…
A lot of our company uses Chromebook and we cannot make the switch to Bluebeam with the entire company since it is not supported by Chrome. Is there any way that it would be supported by Chrome?
Hi, Which is the latest version of the Bluebeam software? 21.0.50? Thank you!
