While marking up drawings, I often find myself using the same tool over and over again. Each time I start the tool, the color reverts back to red. It would be nice if it remembered the previous color/if other settings changed
@lschubert, Bluebeam relies on user defaults. You can set any tool the way you want by right clicking it and selecting “Set as Default.”
If you find yourself constantly adjusting colors or similar settings, use the Tool Chest and save individual markups there. That will keep your colors consistent and save time.
Hope this helps!
In addition to @Shaya Birnbaum's suggestion @lschubert you could work from your "Recents" toolchest:
Another thought would be to create custom tools that match the settings that you regularly use.
Hope this helps. 😎
Good point @David Cutler.
You may want to learn about creating a Custom Tool Chest
There's also the Reuse option you can enable if you're using the same markup tool multiple times in succession.
I believe that you have to also save your profile after changes like this are made so it sticks the next time you open the program.
Custom tool chests are fantastic. You can save any markups you make to be re-used later (text, linework, snapshots). I recently learned how to use properties mode: create a markup like text, linework, callout, etc. then right-click, "add to tool chest". Right-click on the new tool chest button, and select "Properties Mode". "Drawing Mode" places a markup identical to the one that was placed (i.e. the text note or exact linework), whereas "Properties Mode" starts the drawing command that was used (i.e. Text Box, or Callout) with all the properties the same as the source object.
And you can export tool chests to files that can be shared with other users.
Please add the ability to allow some users to edit/delete other peoples comments. This can be controlled through permissions. At our organisation when reviewing drawings there is a review manager that consolidates comments before sending them back. This process occurs regardless of if we are using Bluebeam or another tool.…
Add folders for studio sessions to organize the list of recent Studio sessions. Some of our clients utilize one Studio session per deliverable on large projects that have multiple reviewers. It can be quite a task to find the one studio session for a smaller project amidst the rows and rows of studio sessions per…
With more people using bluebeam as a CAD/drawing program. It would be nice if bullet points/numbers points with auto text indent was a feature.
It would be helpful to have an autosave function for PDFs being used in Revu. Currently this does not exist and would be very beneficial.
This has been requested many many times in the past by many Revu users. WHY is there STILL no numbered/bulleted list function??
Request is for the ability to group open PDFs into tabs, similar to the way that Microsoft Edge allows for web pages to be grouped together into tabs (Edge allows you to take a number of open websites and add them to a named / color-coded group tab. This allows for multiple websites to be open, but organized into group…
Hi Bluebeam Team, I am writing to suggest a feature update that would significantly improve the workflow efficiency for users who rely on the Snapshot tool (G). Current Issue: Currently, if a user takes a snapshot and realizes there is excess content or "clutter" around the edges, they must delete the snapshot and re-take…
