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. 😁
My color PDFs are showing as black and white. The mark ups are in color, but the original document is not. How do I get them to show as color?
hi i am currently seacrhing for a compatible tablet/ipad for Bluebeam, preferably with a compatible pen. would anyone have any advice? Thanks
Hi I’m new to Bluebeam so quite raw, I’ve inherited somebody else’s toolbox, and I’m not allowed to change the items within the toolbox (company policy), so my reason for writing is within my toolbox there are lots of rectangles which I can’t rotate to line up with diagonal lines on my drawing templates i.e. school…
Hey guys, my name is sam, fairly new user. I was sent a set of pdf's that are scale protected, so blue beam will not work is there a way to unlock these at my end or do I need to reach out to the engineers to unlock? thanks
There is a black line that appears when converting from PDF to TIFF. It normally blacks out the title block but have had it black out parts of drawings recently. Is there any way to prevent this black line?
This might be a really obvious one but I can't seem to figure out the best way to do this: I frequently mark up drawing sets for estimates wherein there are multiple pass-through trades under my scope. What I want to do is to be able to do takeoffs for multiple trades, giving them each their own layer that represents them,…
Need help with my cursor and measuring tools. My cursor will only go in a straight line in the measuring tool I am unable to follow a radius or use the measuring tool correctly, it will not follow the cursor but only go in straight lines.
Last night, our Admin team nearly lost their minds. While converting 92 Word documents to PDF, they discovered that the new PDFs were displaying the old versions of the Word documents. Any ideas what caused this and how to prevent or correct the problem if it happens again? They converted perfectly this morning.

Hi. Is anyone experiencing their toolsets randomly removing the first item in the list and replacing it with another? For example, I can open a set and the first one in the list should be say a 3-pole plug, followed by a 4-pole, 5-pole etc. but for some reason the 3-pole plug has been replaced by something random from a…
