Need help with my cursor and measuring tools. My cursor will only go in a straight line in the measuring tool I am unable to follow a radius or use the measuring tool correctly, it will not follow the cursor but only go in straight lines.
Since it's happening when you use the measure tool, try looking at this…

Check out this other thread @Ross at Perfect Turf. Should answer your question:
Thank you. But that is not the issue. I have been using bluebeam for 10+ years. The problem is that I cannot mark points with my cursor. The cursor goes in straight lines (only) and at only at 30degree increments. I cannot follow a radius with my cursor, as it only goes in 30degree tangents. Not sure what has happened. I do not want to delete and try and reinstall bluebeam.
Sorry that I misunderstood the issue @Ross at Perfect Turf! That sounds very frustrating. Perhaps you accidentally turned on "snap to grid"?
If it is "snap to…", you will see one of these icons lit up.
You may have a large grid or be zoomed in close if it's not jumping above and below the horizontal orientation.
Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately not "snap to grid." So frustrating I may as well shut down, but it's not going to go away because that is what I did Friday.
Sounds like it time to call the @Bluebeam Support Team in @Ross at Perfect Turf. Sorry we couldn't help…
It sounds like a locked Shift key or something.
Luke,
thank you. that was it, I somehow clicked snap orthogonal. Not idea when, how or why.
But thank you!!
Thank you for posting that link @Luke Shiras! I don't think I had come across that settings option before. Good to know! 😎
That's one of the things I like about this community. I vaguely remember that tool, but trying to solve Ross's issue led me back to that setting. I learn so much about Bluebeam just by looking for answers to other people's questions.
I use it a lot and would like to have it open at all times for quicker access. Even a keyboard shortcut would be nice, if there is one, please let me know. Thanks in advance, -Wes s
We generate PDF draft reports that are reviewed and marked up with traditional clouds, highlights and text boxes. The reviewer compares marked up Draft #1 to the updated Draft #2. Normally, the reviewer would split the view and use synchronize views between the documents. Does Bluebeam Revu have a system where it checks…
I have a form and am trying to mail merge data into the form. Could you please advise how do I create a .dfd file with my data that I want to include in the mail merge
Cloud and Cloud+ color fills only are changing from 10% to solid. First noticed in a Studio session. When selected, the solid fill reads as 10% in toolbar and properties panel. If bumped up or down, it resets to 10%. The solid fills return after closing, leaving, logging out for all users. Comments exported and imported…
I would like to modify the 'Markups List / Export to .pdf' output appearance. Specifically: Increase the size of the .pdf screenshot graphic so that it takes up half or all of the page width. Reduce or eliminate the center column that lists the selected columns. Reduce or eliminate the column on the right that re-prints…
Not sure if this is a bug. We are Fire Risk Assessors so are often need to either colour in a wall or change the colour of a door on floor plans. We also have to draw lines to show the length of a certain route. Here's what I've noticed: 1 = The fill colour choices for a Polygon are not the same as the Change Colour…
I noticed that starting on 12/16 the invitation emails from BB for a Session no longer show the full Session title.

Can I set (within my preferences) the units to be meters ? When I calibrate for dimensions etc, it always assumes mm's and not m's. I would like my default to be m's
My color PDFs are showing as black and white. The mark ups are in color, but the original document is not. How do I get them to show as color?
