Tips for sharing tips and tricks

Many times when we're answering (or asking) questions, we need to screenshot the area in question (no pun intended). One tool I find very helpful is Greenshot. It has a lot of built-in tools that make snipping and marking up screenshots very easy and clear. And it's FREE!

https://getgreenshot.org/ What other tools do you use in the community? Does anyone have a tip for making animated gifs to show Bluebeam steps?

Good info, Luke! I've used Greenshot in the past, works great.

I typically use the built in Windows snipping tool. The trick is launching it first, so that it opens the editing window, rather than just the "Windows-Shift-S" keystroke which copies directly to the clipboard without going to the editor.

Recover Unsaved Changes Window
Hi, I have a question regarding the "recover unsaved changes" window. In this window, there is a "recover" button but whatever I do, it always stay "unclickable". What is this button for? I have always been confused by this window because I thought I would have to select the files and click on "recover" but in fact, we…
Is there a way to completely hide the “Scale” text in Bluebeam Revu 21 page labels
I’ve noticed that in Revu 21, every page in the Thumbnails panel now shows “Scale: Not Set” if the PDF doesn’t have a defined drawing scale. In my case, I review and organize a lot of documents like submittals, wiring diagrams, proposals, and building maps, none of which use or need scales. The problem is that the “Scale:…
Add Layers AFTER starting Bluebeam Session
It would be really helpful to be able to add layers AFTER a bluebeam session has been initiated. We use the layers to assign markups to particular users, which then allows them to filter their tasks.
Searching or Sorting Jobs
With the new Bluebeam Cloud app, many of my foreman have switched from the old Revu app to this, and have requested a sorting feature. Right now it's only showing their jobs in numberic/alphabetic order. When we label our jobs, they get the job number first. So the most recent jobs are at the very bottom of the list. If…
Allow import and export of Layer Configurations.
You can create Layer Configurations to control the layers within a PDF but that must be done manually for each PDF currently. I would like a way to import and export these configurations. I have thousands of layers, so doing this manually is not feasible. Ideally, I would like a human readable / editable format (such as…
Allow Hyperlinks to BB Session Content - Files, markups, etc
I should be able to post a link here and have it take you to a Bluebeam session and a specific file within it. http:// (session URL) / file I should be able to link to a markup even as well. Why isn't this in Bluebeam yet? It's so frustrating that we (in multiple workplaces I've been at) have to say "hey folks we posted…
