    What line styles do you wish were included in Bluebeam?

    I’m not sure that I want any particular ‘standard’ style included however, I do wish that the process of copying and updating styles that you’ve already created was easier!

      I agree 100% @Vince

      It’s also think the existing lines on the drawing should update when you make an update to the line style. It’s weird you have to go to the properties and reselect the same line style for it to update. Just a programing obsticle I’m sure.

      I’ve built out a few sets of “contour” line types. I use these to highlight either the existing or proposed contours on grading plans to make the contour lines “pop”. They also work well if you want to copy the contour lines onto another view or sheet – say to take them from a grading plan back to an existing conditions plan.

      I find that creating the custom linetypes is a bit clunky at best…

        Great use case @DavidCutler bringing the contours to a different sheet. Creating linestyles is a little clunky as you said, it takes some practice, and it helps if you do it more than once every 6 years (in my case).
