Linking Excel Cells to Bluebeam

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hi,

Our company leans heavily into Just In Time project delivery. To support my field install team, I use bluebeam to create detailed logistics plans. I frequently have to manually update dozens of Bluebeam Text Box in these plans to reflect changes to shipping quantities/orders/dates etc. I would love to see tool that would allow me to tie my Bluebeam text boxes to my MS Excel procurement logs or truck loading plans, so that the bluebeam document could auto-update.

I imagine something similar to the Quantity Link feature, but where Quantity Link pushes takeoff data FROM Bluebeam TO Excel, this would push cell data FROM Excel TO Bluebeam.

Please let me know if there is anything that I can do to help

Hi Rory,

Thanks for posting. This is a great suggestion and something we've been thinking through. There are most likely a number of ways we could address this but first and foremost we would want the solution to be easy to use and be valuable out of the box.

We'll be sure to keep this use case in mind as we consider solutions in the future. Thanks again for posting!

Luke

Bullet points & Indent text

Auto Save
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.
Numbered Lists and Bulleted List
This has been requested many many times in the past by many Revu users. WHY is there STILL no numbered/bulleted list function??
Alert attendee log
It would be great be able to see to whom and when the "alert attendee" has been done. Today you can see exactly who and when markups has been accepted but there are no info at all if a markup has been alerted to someone.
Keyboard Shortcuts for Assigning Statuses
It would be a huge time saver to have keyboard shortcuts for assigning markup statuses. Numerous workflows (e.g. QA/QC and design reviews, punch/back-check) involve multiple status changes for markups, and often times there are multiple statuses (or state models) to choose from. On large projects, with 100's if not 1,000's…
