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.
When he uses his fingers it zooms the wrong way around
When he "pinches", does it zoom in or out? "Wrong" is relative. Either way, it sounds like a laptop setting more than a BB issue. Does zooming work differently in his other programs?
He may just have to change his habits.
Enable Tablet Zoom Feature: When enabled, the zoom/pan tool appears when the mouse or pen is double-clicked or double-tapped. This tool makes it easier to zoom and pan a PDF using just the stylus. Click the stylus anywhere within the light-blue area and drag up to zoom in or drag down to zoom out. Click anywhere outside the light-blue area to pan. This tool looks like:

Thank you for the response. This issue is not present in any office apps. Only in Bluebeam, so I believe it is not a device setting issue. It seems to only be an issue with the touchscreen, rather than the mouse. We do have tablet zoom enabled. But when my colleague tries to zoom in using the touchscreen, it zooms out instead. And vice versa, meaning the zoom feature is essentially working in opposite direction, if that makes a bit more sense.
A colleague of mine is experiencing the identical issue also on a surface studio. Machine rebooted with a windows update last night. Now pinch to zoom works opposite as expected (pinch to zoom out)(and opposite the way it worked yesterday). Revu 21 was updated this morning during troubleshooting. This issue is only happening in revu irrespective of the individual pdf file. Pinch to zoom functions as expected in other office apps.
We changed his cable configuration from mini DP—>DP to mini DP→HDMI and this resolved it for some reason. Another note, he had no issues when not connected to any monitors. Not sure if this issue is cable specific. I would notify your colleague to try the zoom feature on their laptop with no external monitors.
interesting. When the external monitors are disconnected, the zoom functionality works correctly.
we uninstalled the latest windows update. the zoom functionality is still reversed only in revu 21.
unsure what caused the change in how zoom operates only in revu that has only been reported here in the last couple of days and that seems to possibly be related to external monitors
Likely a recent Revu update. The issues were only present since the date of my post. I could not find any other information on this issue.
Try turning your USB-C cables around. 😁
Just attended my first Tips & Tricks webinar earlier this week. It was great! Today I received an email from Stephanie with a link to watch an on-demand video. Unfortunately, I'm not able to visit the site (I receive an error message - see below)
Is there a tool which can apply a template to an existing PDF document? I can do it with the overlay tool, but its not efficient. I am currently specifically attempting to apply a letterhead to a PDF document without having to using snapshot, etc.
We were messing with settings now all the tools in my tool box are numbered and now I can't find the setting to get rid of the numbers next to the tools.
Long post for context: Yesterday I was trying to compare a revised architectural to realize that the floor plan has shifted in both the X and Y, so this morning I did a page snapshot. What I would like to know is, is there a way to snap to a point on the snapshot and move it to a point on the drawing?
In our work, we frequently need to compare floor plan drawings. Often, we have to compare older drawings from archives with very new and detailed ones. The scales of these drawings often differ — sometimes from 1:100 to 1:200, but more commonly with small variations of 1–5% at a detailed level. Our current workflow is as…
I found this support article, but I don't see the options shown in the screenshot to send to Cloud. At the bottom of the tool set menu I only see Manage Tool Sets, there's no Send Tool Sets to Bluebeam Cloud.
Hi I'm new here, joined to ask this questions. I started having an issue this week, where when I select the typewriter tool or text box nothing happens, pretty much rendering useless a big part of bluebeam for me. driving me nuts. Tried the basics, or re-opening, different files, restarting, different profiles, etc.…
I'm trying to figure out how "sets" works in Bluebeam to mark out the old documents and showing me the new changes in the addendums. when I create a set in Bluebeam and run it, they seem to be the same, but I can clearly see changes in design or whatever they are changing in the new addendums.
As an Org Admin user I have the ability to add users and delete users and assign the product, but is there a way to edit an existing user Contact Details? When I attempt to update a user's Contact Details everything is greyed out and will not let me make any changes.
I have added our org SharePoint to Bluebeam Cloud (website) and I can see folders as I would expect. When I add my org OneDrive account to Bluebeam Cloud I see OneDrive and PersonalCacheLibrary folders show, if I click on OneDrive, it says "Something went wrong. Please try again." Never works, and I opened a ticket and…
