Sometimes when I upload a PDF, it turns blue when i try to create a measurement, and will not allow me to get and quantities. What is causing this
You cannot make this change to a file within a Studio Session. But before a file is uploaded, look in the Measurements tab and see what scales and viewports exist. If there are any untitled viewports, be sure to delete them. Any named viewports with a scale, verify they are correct for the given area
The PDF almost certainly has "Viewports." Put simply, these are scales added to an area or areas of a PDF. The blue highlights you see are the areas managed by the viewports. I personally remove all viewports before working with any PDF's, however, if you're working in tandem with someone else I would check with them first. See this help file from Bluebeam: https://support.bluebeam.com/revu/how-to/use-viewports.html
Yes, I believe that is the problem. How do I turn those Viewports off, or remove protected scales?
Great information, Thankyou!
Chances are you have a viewport that you did not create. Clear all viewports and set your own scales.
Failing that, the document is locked.

If I switch off “Take Vector Snapshots”, it resolves the file size issue and the drawing size hardly…

When working on a file, Bluebeam will freeze then shut down. It's been happening quite frequently. Why is this happening?
As part of preliminary estimating for roadway projects I have created a custom toolbox for area, length and count items. I can change the color.

Good afternoon, I want to create a Tool-Chest component in "Tool Chest" that automatically numbers, e.g., W001, W002, W003, W004, ... and measures the area. It should place this on the plan-view with number W001 and the area. And then also place this number W001 in the Marksup list so that the link between a specific wall…

I am estimator and sometimes need a lot of back and forth between plan and sections/details. I am aware of can use ALT+ Arrow left to back my previous page. But, I would like to keep focusing my current drawings and open those links trough new tabs. I can do it when I use Microsoft Edge (when have opened the PDF drawings).…
I recently upgraded to the latest version of Bluebeam from Version 20.3 and it is a disaster. There are 2 major problems that occur that have essentially eliminated the way that I typically do estimates. The recent tools button now records the same tool over and over again every time I use it. So if I use a polylength tool…
