Pen Smoothing

mpasineau

Is there a way to remove pen smoothing on the desktop version? A recent update appears to have increased the smoothing on pen markups and smooths it to the point where the markups are unreadable. I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing this issue or if this feature can be turned off or dialed back? Any help is appreciated.

I don't believe so. There are multiple threads about this bug. The last update is that they have created a fix but it wont be available until the next update. I'm not sure when the update will be released.

Agreed, this change is horrible. However, a work around for now is that if you draw each line segment seperatly then it does not smooth out the corners and looks much better, but still groups it all as a single pen/markup action, see the attached image with an example with the blue dots showing where i briefly clicked my mouse to start a new segment.

Hi mpasineau

Noticed something similar after a recent update too, pen markups just don't look like what I actually drew anymore. Not 100% sure there's an exposed slider for smoothing level specifically, I've poked around Preferences under the Pencil/markup tool settings and haven't found an obvious dial for it, could be I'm missing it though.

If it's blocking real work, might be worth rolling back to the previous Revu build for now until this gets sorted, that's usually the fastest fix when an update changes tool behavior like this. Definitely worth reporting straight to Bluebeam Support as a regression too, since this sounds like something baked into the update itself rather than a setting you can toggle from your end.

Thank You

I thought I was the only one after resetting my settings and updating. Markups with the pen are almost unbearable right now. A nicely hand drawn arrow looks like a moldy 7…a legible written note for "15M" turns into "triangle S line"…yikes😩

I absolutely agree! This is an unacceptable regression in usability. Please fix this BB!
