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?
New here to this forum so I appreciated any help! When adding new revisions to conformed sets (.bex file format) of design drawings, previous markups that are brought forward are getting moved off the page into the gray field areas outside of page parameters. What is causing this and how do I fix it?
There was an error rendering this rich post.
Hi all, I have recently updated to Bluebeam 21 and even though I can sign in ok with my login details, I have no functionality at all. I can only use as read only. There is no location to enter my subscription details like there was in Blubeam 18. I have contacted support twice now over the last week and no response.…
Hello. My name is Bill and I'm brand new to Revu. My apologies if this has already been discussed. I don't know enough yet to even know what to search for. I would like to know if it is possible to mark up a plan within Revu and then generate lists or reports of certain items. I would like two different types of mark-ups…
Is there a counting tool where i can just click click click while the numbers just appear? vs having to text box and manually type in numbers?
why do my mark ups disappear when I overly it on my new revised PDF?
Good afternoon, I've been having this issue with Bluebeam where after I take snapshot to make a custom tool chest item, the text in that item changes into symbols when I reopen Bluebeam. Attached is a snippet of said change. if this has been resolved before, I apologize. Please send me the link to the solution. this also…
How do you revise previous mark ups? I am unable to select and change any of them. I've tried unflattening and it doesn't work.
Is there a way to combine multiple Spaces? I often create several spaces that I’d like to merge into one. Bluebeam breaks up the counts by space, which is EXTREMELY USEFUL, but sometimes it gets in the way. For example, today I’m working on a project where I need to identify all areas that require Hospital Grade…
Can anyone knows how to solve this issue? I have tried relogging and also re installing the app, but it is still happening.
