I have uploaded a batch PDF; I have noticed there are already layers that the Bluebeam software has picked up and added in the layer section. Please let me know if there is a quick and seamless way to perform these actions.
Clarification: The Bluebeam layers that appear in the Layers section do not appear in the markups section. Why is that?
Action 1: The action I am trying to preform is to measure all the double dashed lines on a page. I noticed that one of the layers that the Bluebeam software automatically picked up on is all of those doubled dashed lines that I need to measure. Currently, I isolate that layer and then use the measuring tool to measure all of those lines. What I am looking for is a shortcut. I would like to isolate those lines and then with one or two clicks tell BB to measure that particular layer. Is this possible?
Action number two: On another page in the same document, the Bluebeam software picked up the layers of single dashed lines and double dashed lines automatically but combined them. Is there a way to split a preexisting layer and then preform the same action in action 1 of measure those lines separately and in a seamless fashion.
Thank you in advance and look forward to your response.

Moved your comment into a separate discussion.
For the first part of the question, the layers you're seeing in the PDF probably came from the authoring software (Autocad, Revit, etc..). The reason why they're not in the markups list is the markups themselves are not assigned to a layer.
For the rest of the post, the answer unfortunately is simply, not an option today.
Is there a way to be able to Add a Sequence into a Count Measurement tool? Here's my scenario…I want to be able to mark up a plan with a red dot or a blue dot with a number sequence (each dot colour will have its own number sequence) but then I want to do a count on the number of red dots and number of blue dots and add it…
Working on a form and added the "reset form" button and it works as always. I'm trying to add a "print form" button but the issue I'm having is that when I click my print form button it will work once, but if you press it again, it won't work thereafter. I submitted this on ChatGPT and it had several options, but none of…
I got an email this afternoon asking if I wanted to sign up for this. "Interested in trying new Bluebeam innovations before they’re released to the public? You’re in luck!" It sounded interesting. I clicked the link, but the USA BBID doesn't take you to a login page. Is anyone else having this issue?
how to i change the line density when using the measuring tool? when i pull a measurement i click and the measurement stays as a thin blue line and not a thicker line
I am working on creating a custom toolset for my team to quickly calculate concrete and steel reinforcement quantities for bridge components. In order to do this, I have added quite a few custom "columns" which take inputs or store tool-specific variables. These are displayed in the measurement properties tab under…
I am using quantity link to get length takeoffs from my PDF directly to excel. I can link a cell to a certain measurement type (length, area, etc.) but can't separate it out from there. Attached picture might make this make sense. I want the 'Length 1' measurement to go to cell B2 and the 'Length 2' measurement to go to…

When you have a document open and split so you have (2) windows, is there a way for the tools to display with each window so you don't have to go all the way across the screen to get to the 1 windows tools?
I want to group all WF Beams so when I click the beam for a take off it, has a pulldown to select the size. Can this be done?
I am having an issue where when I save, mark-ups just disappear before my eyes. I do a save after every sheet of mark-ups, and at random, every mark up I did just disappears. What is strange is that they still appear in the mark-up list, but that does me no good. I have tried exporting and reimporting the markups, doesn't…
