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've customized the callout tool for weld mapping (O&G fabrication). I have the line, endpoint, and text box shape as I like them. My problem is, when used in drawing mode, my pre-populated text and text box size is exactly how I want it but the line endpoint and associated lines are locked in place (not ideal). If I use…
How do I select multiple mark-ups and copy them to all sheets in the PDF?
Help! I need to open AutoCAD files and can't find the basic instructions to find and install the plugin that will enable me to open, mark up, and save native dwg format files into a new pdf markup. I opened 'Administrator' but can't find the option to install a new plugin to Bluebeam. I only have Excel and Word plugins,…
I marked up a cloud in Revu and added three comments to the markup. On the web version, I can see all three comments. However, on the iPad, only two are displayed, and the first comment is not visible. Does anybody know how to display the first comment on the iPad?
I have a snapshot that I saved in my toolbox. The picture went away and the tool was grayed out, so I deleted it. The empty snapshot got onto my document while I was doing this process. I did not realize it at the time and continued marking up the document. Everything else is working properly. Now I have the grayed out…
Hi—has anyone found a way to navigate the menu bar using alt and arrow keys (or something else)? I'm currently seeing that pressing alt highlights "revu" on the left, but no key can drop it down or shift the highlight to a different menu bar option (eg document). I also notice that if alt is pressed, then a menu bar option…
CAn we export form Bluebeam to DXF. If not any way we can export the lines to be used in anlaysis software
Some of the consultant drawings I receive have a protected scale and when taking measurement and areas it doesn`t show up in the markup list. Also the drawing is blued out. Is there away around this Many thanks Murray
I've been trying to find anything related to this, but all I see is default tool 'settings' but I want to change the tool, not settings of the tool. The default selected now is the pan tool but my most used tool is the select text tool and when I open a new PDF or have multiple opened and then I close one, Revu will change…
Hello, I have used the Grab feature for years and it is one of my most frequently used tools. Recently, however, when I grab from one drawing and paste into another, the file size increases from around 1 MB to 2 GB. If I switch off “Take Vector Snapshots”, it resolves the file size issue and the drawing size hardly…
