Keyboard Shortcuts

Comments

My favorite shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+v ( to copy from one page to another at the same location)

Luke Shiras

The only shortcut I use is Ctrl+s because I don't repeat enough commands to think about shortcuts even though I have a list pined to my cubicle wall. That said, I am looking forward to using the status shortcuts now that they are available.

Jorge Contreras

Best one that gets a ton of usage by me is Ctrl+G and Ctrl+Shift+G. Use this a ton of times during design reviews when combining markup tools with snapshots.

Angela Aff

I spy with my little eye two awesome BUG members sharing knowledge with their peers! Way to go, @Luke Shiras & @Jorge Contreras !

And of course you too, @akhikund !!

Travis Shupe

Probably my most used keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+Click and Drag to duplicate a markup or Ctrl+Shift+Click and drag to duplicate a markup and constrain it on the x or y axis.

Mark Gerving

There are so many to choose from, however the 2 I use the most, outside of CTRL+C & V are CTRL+SHIFT+ V, paste in place and to copy a markup which is to select the markup and then hold the CTRL key and drag with the mouse to create another copy.

Besides common shorcut like Ctrl+C, CTRL+V, CTRL+SHIFT+V, my favorite shortcuts are Snapshot (G), Stamp (S), Text (T), Line (L), Dimension (Q), Length (W).

My main working software is Tekla Structures. I customize Bluebeam shortcuts to have same keyboard shortcuts for Tekla & Bluebeam.

Example: i use Q for Dimension in Bluebeam and to give horizontal dimension in drawings in Tekla

i use W for Length in Bluebeam and to give vertical dimension in drawings in Tekla

With all the customizations implemented on our Bluebeam profiles, I find myself toggling the Reuse Markup Tool often and have assigned it to the ~ (tilde) key, which aligns with the My Tools assignments.

Extract Pages (CTRL + SHIFT + X), the Snapshot functions (G and SHIFT + G), and the Format Painter (CTRL + SHIFT + C) are good time savers as well.

Much Like @Sumit Roy Ctrl+C, CTRL+V, CTRL+SHIFT+V, are ones that I use with muscle memory, regularly, along with "G" and "Ctrl + S" but there is another simple one that saves me time on a regular basis.

(Ctrl + E), which opens an email in your default email and appends the document title as the subject line. This is great for immediately after you save the document, because now its saved where you want it and you can quickly send that email with the right nomenclature in the subject line, and send it off right away. NOTE: It doesn't automatically add your email signature but that's only a couple of clicks to remedy that.

It also works great for quick turn revisions throughout the course of a project without having to track down the source of the file. Just hit (Ctrl + E), and you are ready to add comments to the body of the email and fire it off.

Try it, you'll like it.

Cheers!
