How did you navigate to this menu @Thomas Luedke? I have been poking around and do not see where these settings and choices are in the program?
Tool Chest Settings were added in 21.6 under the Tool Chest dropdown menu.
Exclude Text Boxes (default): Standard behavior of switching to Properties Mode allows you to use a text box with the freshly typed text as Comments.
No: Comments won't carry over to new markup placement.
All Markups: If you see Comments in the Tool Set Column, using that markup will use the Comments…even when using Properties mode.
@Ryan Arbuckle thank you. While you're here, can you tell me if there's any way to disable the default behavior of measurement markups wherein they occupy the comments field with whatever the caption is? I want to be able to type custom comments for measurement markups, which make up about 90% of my total markups. I was hoping that these settings had something to do with changing that but I suppose not.
It just doesn't make any sense that you wouldn't be able to add comments to measurements.
You are correct. We can't alter the Comment. To clean up the view of your Tool Set, you can go into "Manage Tool Chest Columns" and turn off visibility of Comments.
If you need to add text to your measurement markups, you might try a Custom Column (text). I called mine "Notes" in this example. I typed my "comment" in the Markups List (or via Properties Panel).
Yeah it just seems like a workaround. What functionality is enabled by the measurement occupying that field with redundant/duplicated information?
I created a small script that allows a Form Button to change from a blank button to a filled circle or an open circle (each click cycles through the options). Works great, except that when I copy the button, the JavaScript action doesn’t come with. Does anyone know of a way to apply a script action to multiple buttons, or…
I've added a custom column (check mark) to the Markups List. However, when I add a pdf to a BB session none of my co-workers can check/uncheck the check box. I had them add the profile it was saved to when creating but still nothing. Anyone know where I went wrong?
Hey everyone For those that attended Unbound back in October, I was wondering if anyone had all the photo's from Duncan Wardell's presentation.

I would like to start out by saying I am a relatively new user on Bluebeam who has been strictly using it for quantity takeoffs for exterior cladding. I have done a deep dive or even begun to grasp the resources or features at my disposal, so if my question seems basic that's just my understanding level right now. I do…
Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to overlay markup across pages in a way that when a change is made on one page, all the other pages update. This would be exceptionally useful when planning routes of pipes etc between floors. (Bluebeam Revu) Any help would be much appreciated!
Hi All, I am trying to add revised sheets to my Set(.bex) using Batch Slip Sheet. The problem is when I hit the Match Pages button I am receiving error messages (See images below). I believe the problem is coming from BB including previously revised sheets in the Current Files column of the Match Pages window. Am I doing…
When I zoom on one tab the other tab is adjusted as well. I am using my mouse scroll to do this. I also just updated to the latest version of Bluebeam. Is there a fix for this? Is anyone else experiencing this?
When taking off quantities in lengths i prefer to use m rather than mm. Is there a way to set this as the default for all my take offs
