Exported from AutoCAD, if text is on a layer named "Plan-Notes" then highlighting it should put the markup on the same layer so when the Plan-Notes layer is turned off the text and highlighted markup is not visible and vice versa.
Here's an AI version of the request:
Feature Request: Layer-Aware Highlighting for AutoCAD-Exported PDFs
When a PDF is exported from AutoCAD and contains text on a named layer (e.g., "Plan-Notes"), any highlight markup applied to that text should automatically be placed on the same layer. This would ensure that toggling layer visibility affects both the text and its associated highlight markup consistently — when the layer is turned off, both the text and the highlight are hidden, and when the layer is turned on, both are visible.
Seems like a pretty niche request. I would assume this is only for highlighting that 'snaps' to the text content. Otherwise impossible for freehand highlighter to know what it is drawing over, especially when there are multiple layers under it. Honestly don't see this getting implemented without more specifics on the purpose and use cases.
If all other layers are turned off except Plan-Notes then the highlighter would know which layer to use, right?
Interesting idea @Mark Cook. I guess you could do this manually - IF you could determine what content is on what layer. If you are working on a number of highlights to a specific layer you could create a custom highlighting tool with that layer setting.
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…
