Is there an easy way to create a hyperlink from a sheet number, such as C-400, that jumps directly to another sheet (for example, C-500), and then have C-500 include a link back to C-400?
Hello, there sure is… you can use this link, which gives you step by step instructions on creating batch links: https://support.bluebeam.com/online-help/revu20/Content/RevuHelp/Menus/Batch/Link/Batch-Link--T.htm?_gl=11spos8r_gcl_awR0NMLjE3NjcyMDA0ODYuQ2owS0NRaUFzTlBLQmhDcUFSSXNBQ20wMWZUNS1fZm91RTBLNG1tbFpoR3pVQkE1ZEFFdlRWSEg4YjFKdmVTeVdfZmNqUmRJZUhSY3ZFRWFBdXRXRUFMd193Y0I._gcl_auNjEyMjkzNDM0LjE3NjQ5NjgxODI._gaMTExMjY4MjcxMy4xNzU3MDk1ODky_ga_Y03FGV8YCR*czE3NzA4NDM0MzAkbzM3JGcxJHQxNzcwODQzNDU3JGozMyRsMCRoMA..
We use that for creating links throughout the plan set. What I would like is a way to create a link so that when I have sheet C-402 pulled up and click on the sheet number it goes to C-502. And C-502 sheet number would link back to C-402. I'm looking for an easy way to navigate between the site and grading sheets of the same view extent.
Only if there's a callout somewhere that returns to the previous sheet (C-400) What you could do maybe is use the previous view buttons, but that can be tedious
I thought it might be a big ask. Thanks for verifying it's not an easy lift.
How about linking to a particular view? So that if we have a leader saying "SEE DETAIL A" that clicking would take the user to the sheet and zoomed in to that detail?
Yes that's possible by setting the link to "Snapshot View" instead of a page to jump to. These need to be created manually, but are really helpful.
Are you using Bookmarks @CNeely? I find them very helpful for finding my way back to where I started when I'm looking at details. You might even consider creating child bookmarks that take you right to the details.
Often I will split my view so that I can look at the detail without loosing my place in the plan set. This works really well if you have multiple monitors.
Hope this helps. 😎
One option is to manually create a hyperlink to the overall plan (C-402) and use "Past in Place" (Crrl+Shift+V) and past it to the same location on the C-500 series of drawings. I will often do something similar to link between Electrical and Architectural plans.
Or another option use a mouse with a forward and back button at the thumb. Clicking the back button will take you to the previous view. This also works with internet browsers.
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…
Hey, Is anyone know why Revu is crashing. I open it uplaod plans start measuring and it just crashes. I have uninstalled and re-installed. I have a very time sensitive project that I am doing and need it now and support is over 24hrs away. Any help be much appreciated. Thank you
When working on a file, Bluebeam will freeze then shut down. It's been happening quite frequently. Why is this happening?
As part of preliminary estimating for roadway projects I have created a custom toolbox for area, length and count items. I can change the color. Is there a way to change the icon to something like SW for sidewalk area? I have the measuring tools set up with custom labels and layers to facilitate review and quantity total…
Hello, Can I import Chets Tool Items from Excel. I've a list of items in Excel (number, description, m, m2, m3 of Pc) I've to measure. Can I import it to Tool Chest. Thanks.
Good afternoon, I want to create a Tool-Chest component in "Tool Chest" that automatically numbers, e.g., W001, W002, W003, W004, ... and measures the area. It should place this on the plan-view with number W001 and the area. And then also place this number W001 in the Marksup list so that the link between a specific wall…
