how do I filter out only my mark-ups to transfer to another PDF as when I window in the whole document alot of other stuff is highlighted?….
I just want this stuff….
Assuming page numbers are the same in both PDFs, try
or
2. Markups List —> Filter by Author —> select MUs —> Copy —> Paste
It would be good to see your Markup List and what customisations you have made. The point is to consider the Markup List as a database and look at how you can manipulate the data. My apologies if you are not new to this concept 🙂. Jes's answer is perfect in answering your specific question, but what if there are other markups? Or only select a few of your Makups. One simple idea would be to create Custom Statuses with a "Transfer" and potentially a "No Transfer" option and then create a filter to show only the "Transfer" status markups. Then save this Filter in your Profile for future use.
In Jes's options above, I tested No. 1 and it will transfer ALL Markups - you could use the Filter for "No Transfer" to isolate all the Markups that you dont want and delete them. Jes' No. 2 option works. Oh have a look at Slip Sheet and or using Sets to update Markups automagicly from one drawing to another. 👍️
Good details to consider there @Shanoc Halliday . It reminds me of something else to potentially help with this operation… Sometimes it is necessary to SAVE AS the PDF in order to isolate markups that need to be transferred. If you filter markups then delete unwanted markups in a SAVED AS file, you can isolate the markups needed to work with rather than fighting with the markups list functionality limiting its own usefulness with the "clutter" of markups from other Authors.
Is there any way to autogenerate markups in Bluebeam instead of manually tracing every area and perimeter? I bid multiple jobs a week, and these "robotic" takeoffs are a huge bottleneck. Does Bluebeam have an AI feature to auto-detect these boundaries and generate the markups? Manually tracing miles of sidewalk, asphalt,…
Acting as the owners representative I would like to be able to to walk through our projects with an Ipad in hand, open to our drawings; mark up the drawings, tag the mark up with a picture and description in efforts to issue as a "deficiency report" to the construction team. We would hope to use this to create a site visit…
I have recently begun using Bluebeam projects to test out the functionality when going from the office to the field and trying to take advantage of "one uniform set" that the Projects feature offers. Last week I've run into an issue where on my iPad, the file I am using in Proejct gives the message "Unable to Open…
Hey guys, I have an excel template I use for take-offs. While on the spreadsheet, when I set the source file to the drawing, there is a very small chance that it successfully links. Usually, I have to set the source file, nothing happens, so I then set up a new quantity link. When i setup a new link, all the other quantity…
I'm trying to fill out some ITB Documents with BB but whenever I create a new text box and then type in the text box my space bar does not work. This just becomes a long string of words. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the program but the issue remains. I never had this problem previously, and have been running BB…
When I am working with multiple pdf files, I have to extend one or more files to the second monitor. When a pdf is brought to the second monitor, the Bluebeam ribbon and menus will not go along with it to the second monitor and I will always have to select the tools from the original bluebeam window in the fist monitor. In…
Is it possible to extract data from multiple pre-defined locations on hundreds of scanned PDF's and extract/export to excel? Scanned pdf's would have same form and locations of information. I have been able to extract all of information on pages (creates mess) but no way to capture just certain fields/locations?
Good Morning Has anyone successfully imported their take-off from Bluebeam via excel into Trimble Contract Master Estimation software and have you managed to link an item in that take off to your database item?
Please correct me if I'm posting in the wrong spot: I had slow 2D rendering on a Lenovo P15 Gen 1 on several versions up to 21.6, then 21.6.1 seemed to fix the issue. With 21.8, the issue has returned. The usual 2D render settings have no effect on the behavior (it's as if it's stuck on iterative draw). Paging through PDFs…
Can someone please help with what seems to be a very simple question. I've turned off the "Snap to Content" button but my measurement tool still wants to snap. Every snap button is turned off. Grid is turned off. I just can't figure it out. Can someone help?
