Convert shape to Area

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I don't know how many times I have drawn a rectangle or polygon shape to create an outline or fill, only to need the area. Instead of redrawing it, it would be great to be able to simply convert it to an area. Or have them always calculate area regardless of the tool?

I am going to second this! I develop a lot of exhibits and often use the polygon to outline extents of different areas. Sometimes I am asked after-the-fact for an area take-off, and it can be a lot of rework. I don't often begin exhibits with the Area tool because that's not usually the intent of the product, but it when it evolves in that direction, it would be great to have an option to right-click and "Convert to area", or to toggle on a caption for specific polygons. I suppose I could change my habit and only use the Measurement tools, and toggle off all the labels at the start - but that feels like extra steps to manage for a scenario that I may not even need.

I had a co-worker ask me this morning if Bluebeam could do this. Seems like a good idea to me.

Bullet points & Indent text
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.
Auto Save
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.
Alert attendee log
It would be great be able to see to whom and when the "alert attendee" has been done. Today you can see exactly who and when markups has been accepted but there are no info at all if a markup has been alerted to someone.
Keyboard Shortcuts for Assigning Statuses
It would be a huge time saver to have keyboard shortcuts for assigning markup statuses. Numerous workflows (e.g. QA/QC and design reviews, punch/back-check) involve multiple status changes for markups, and often times there are multiple statuses (or state models) to choose from. On large projects, with 100's if not 1,000's…
