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?
Had some associates do their Bluebeam update and now they are not able to print their pdf document to a printer. Any advice?
New the new way is terrible. Please change it back. I would be happy to show you the issue.
For plan review purposes, is it possible for one reviewer to rotate a plan so the orientation to a more standard orientation, and save that orientation so that subsequent reviewers that open the file will not have to rotate the plan set as well?
I have been having issue with my Bluebeam/Revu that prevents me from carrying on with my work. Sometimes when a file is open and in the middle of working with the file, the following message pops up (see snippet below), which locks me out of continuing the work and forcing me to "End program" and restart Revu again. This…
What is the difference between Snapshot (G) and Snapshot Content (Shift + G)?
We have a markup document that contains multiple page sizes, mostly 11"x17", and we need them all to be 22"x34" so we can do a synchronized view for review with a the final drawings that are all 22x34. I am able to resize all the pages but the bluebeam markups on the page do not scale and remain small in the corner. Is…

Is anyone else having issues using Bluebeam Cloud in the field on their iPads? I understand they are discontinuing Revu on iPad, but the features aren't even close. Cloud lacks a lot and makes it almost impossible to use in field. I can't see any layers or choose any layers which is the point. The whole point of this…
I do a good amount of takeoff in bluebeam and noticed an annoying issue after updating to 21.7. It used to be that you could use the CNTRL + Shift keys to do a straight takeoff line (shift key) and avoid any control lines or points on the drawing (CNTRL key) to get to a precise spot on the drawing. After the update, the…
