Before BB Revue was reinstalled on my machine, I used to be able to fix text to the text box. I have lost that command and don't know how to get it back.
"Alt+Z" is the quickest way when you're in the text editing mode, but you can also change a setting in your preferences to do this automatically.
I can't seem to find how to set this autosize text button to show either @KGlaser, but I may have found a workaround!
You can set the text box to autosize in the text box properties pane:
You can then set this as your default - or create a custom "autosize textbox tool" in your tool chest. Maybe even place it into your "my tools" chest and assign a number to it for easy 1 click access.
Hope this helps. 😎
@KGlaser are you looking to make the text box fit the text or are you looking to change the font size for the text so that it fits the text box that you have drawn?
it took me a while to find the screen you are showing above, and I clicked the box, but there isn't any change. There used to be a symbol within the Font toolbar that I could click to automatically scale the font to match the box size. Can you help me find that?
Thanks!

I think I found what you are looking for @KGlaser, but I'm not finding how to edit the tool bar to add/subtract it - it already shows when I select a text box:
Once "Autosize Text" is selected the font changes as the box is resized.
Can anyone help @KGlaser on how to make this option available to them?
that's the box i am talking about! I can't find it.
This actually didn't solve my biggest issue. see conversation with @David Cutler
@David Cutler that will do in a pinch- thanks!!
@David Cutler
I have the answer to this problem now!!
I no longer had the PROPERTIES TOOLBAR checked. That solved many of the frustrating issues I was having.
Thankyou for posting the ultimate solution @KGlaser! Glad to hear that you were able to find it. 😎
As part of preliminary estimating for roadway projects I have created a custom toolbox for area, length and count items. I can change the color. Is there a way to change the icon to something like SW for sidewalk area? I have the measuring tools set up with custom labels and layers to facilitate review and quantity total…

Good afternoon, I want to create a Tool-Chest component in "Tool Chest" that automatically numbers, e.g., W001, W002, W003, W004, ... and measures the area. It should place this on the plan-view with number W001 and the area. And then also place this number W001 in the Marksup list so that the link between a specific wall…

I am estimator and sometimes need a lot of back and forth between plan and sections/details. I am aware of can use ALT+ Arrow left to back my previous page. But, I would like to keep focusing my current drawings and open those links trough new tabs. I can do it when I use Microsoft Edge (when have opened the PDF drawings).…
I recently upgraded to the latest version of Bluebeam from Version 20.3 and it is a disaster. There are 2 major problems that occur that have essentially eliminated the way that I typically do estimates. The recent tools button now records the same tool over and over again every time I use it. So if I use a polylength tool…
When using Bluebeam I find times when I need multiple pages locked together in one view for measurement purposes or to layout something which spans multiple pages, there must be a more intelligent method which Bluebeam can offer then what I have done which is pasting screen shots of other pages onto one page then manually…

If you choose an area and set the color, line weight and so on, then click out of measurement you have to then go back and redo all the particulars for that item that you are trying to take off. Can this be remedied? Onscreen allows the user to set a group of items to use repeatedly throughout a set of drawings (color,…
