There was an error rendering this rich post.

This is something I used to be able to do in Microsoft Publisher that I feel would be useful in Bluebeam. Callouts that allow the option of different shapes, such as rounded edges or ovals. Also, if we could snap leaderlines or arrows to objects that associate with the object and move around with the object from the location they were snapped to, essentially like creating a custom callout.

Hi @jefrey .

In the PROPERTIES side pane for CALLOUTS, there is a "Shape" option with four choices that may give a little of what you are looking for…

Edit/Unlock markups in Studio Sessions

Numbered Lists and Bulleted List
This has been requested many many times in the past by many Revu users. WHY is there STILL no numbered/bulleted list function??
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.
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.
