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?
When I open a set of plans in Bluebeam, I get hundreds and many times thousands of items that automatically populate into the Markups List. I try to delete them but it won't allow this to happen. Does anyone know how to get rid of these or stop them from importing? They are mainly random labels, words or drawings…
Hi All. i have reached out to the support team, but without getting the needed help. They wrote that the problem was due to the drawing being "large", but the problem is not connected to all large drawings. The Drawing is not responding dynamic to zoom, but keeps loding in small bites/fields, making the it slow to work…
When extracting pages, I currently have to either: Select all pages first, then use Extract [Ctrl+Shift+X], or Go to Extract and change the page range dropdown from Selected to All Pages. Is there a way to skip these steps and have All Pages set as the default so I can extract the full document with a single click?
Hi all. Anyone else having a problem since the latest update, where you go to change a line size & it jumps up to highlight?
Is there a way after using the overlay command to go back an make edits or adjustments or do you essential just have to start a new overlay command?
When selecting a markup to use such as one that measures area for carpet, while in the process of using the markup tool, the wall lines are totally obliterated by a solid line that is impossible to see through no matter what the opacity setting is of the line. This leaves the markup a matter of guesswork as to where the…
I would like to see on the BATCH pulldown, the ability to create and re-use a Page Label for PDF's. I dont understand why this isn't already available. Regardless of where you place Sheet Number, Sheet Description - a routine that allows users with a click of a button to complete the same TEDIOUS TASK of constantly…
I get this weird football goalpost-looking line when trying to find a length. Also, for smaller measurements, when I zoom in, the length value disappears. It only appears AFTER i click the 2nd point. I then have to zoom out, guess what the appropriate length is, and adjust it time and time again until I get it correct.…
While I do love the ease of the built in browser functionality in Revu, I'm wondering if there is a way to have a link that opens outside of Revu, in an external browser (ie: chrome or edge). I've found several issues with the Revu Browser Youtube links only play at low resolution Several links that open up in-network…
I include a "filepath" footer on all of my Excel documents so I'm able to easily determine the source file's location. When when using the "Create PDF" button under the BLUEBEAM tab in Excel, the footer generated on the pdf file output is the file path of my Bluebeam software install, not the file path of the Excel source…
