Font size since latest update

Hi all

We are relatively new to Bluebeam but use it every day in our work, it's a great tool that has helped us immensely since we started using it. However, we recently updated to the latest version and since then we are having a bit of trouble, we have contacted technical support and they have given us a couple of options but none of them have worked so far so I am reaching out to you guys to see if anyone has experienced the same issue and may have a solution??

We have tool chests set up for various measurment tools and we have the font size set to 3 on all of them, since the update every time we use a tool it automatically changes the font size back to 12 which is very frustrating. Technical had us back up our settings and reset which didn't work, then we have been told to download the last version again and 'run as administrator', again this hasn't worked.

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Thanks, Vince

To keep your process moving @Vince Fitter you might try using the tools "as is" with the 12 font. Once you are done with your markup you can then "select all" of the markups and change the font back to 3 point. I tried this with one of my files and the process seems to work only when you change the font size in the properties bar that I have positioned at the top of my screen.

Not sure if that works with your process or not, but it might keep you moving. 😎

Thanks David, Yes we have been doing this but it is just another 'process' to do, I know it might sound lazy but we did like it better when it was the other way round.

Appreciate you reply though!

I'm right there with you @Vince Fitter! The majority of my markup tools are customized with custom column values for my workflows. I'm a big fan of building a tool out completely 1 time and using the benefit of that invested time over and over again.
