Found the issue it was in the Document Properties/Security ‘Changing the Document’, and ‘Assembling the Document’ were marked as restricted. No way to change the permissions so I printed a new copy and then everything was available.

I have toyed with it a little, but have not implemented it into any workflow yet.

[Chris Riley]

Yeah, I have been known to pop keys off my keyboard from time to time, and even re-map a few of them.

Thanks Isaac, it was one of my other users he probably hit it by accident. That’s kind of a crazy option, never had the need to have to turn those off.

[Chris Riley]

Had not thought about the count tool, I will experiment with that.

[Chris Riley]

Probably about the same as what I am doing now. Just wishful thinking that there might be something better.

Ahh, thanks for that one. I had left content checked thinking I needed one or the other or both to be checked.

If I want to use Layers in Bluebeam then the Layer list gets rather long, I have tried to print these to Bluebeam Pdf and they will not print, just hangs and all you get is a ‘Cancel’ button.

Save As would preserve the integrity of the original document for those not paying attention. Typically these are some of the very 1st things I do when I get new drawings in and this needs to be done anyway so Save or Save as tomato/tomoto. Which its not a big deal for me since the rest of the herd isn’t following me anyway (I hate not having standards, & nobody wanting to get onboard to establish them).

[Chris Riley]

Not 100% sure I would want this in that script, but at the end of the script add a ‘Save’ option. Not sure I want the script to have that much control though?

[Chris Riley]

Yeah, I have my custom columns exported, so I can import whenever needed. I also have a pdf file called Layers that has all my default layers so I just insert that page into my combined document and it creates those layers save the document and then delete the page, the Layers stay in the combined file even though you can’t see them, but if your tools in your tool bag are assigned to those layers it starts populating as you add markups. Terry Cline has a good video on how to do the Layers on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eY0IYljFxs

failed to mention that my columns are part of my custom Profile, so I believe all I have to do is open the new drawings and then save them to get the columns come in. I might be wrong on this though.

[Chris Riley]

Been busy so been a while since I have been on this sight. Its only the existing markups that are locked, the columns are fine. I think it has to do with flattening when I pull the file down off of sessions, insert my new drawings and then put the file back up on sessions. Really kind of sucks because I was getting these columns set up to track my RFIs so the RFIs that I have answers to since I updated the drawings in the file I can’t update the markup in the resolved column. However, I was thinking about switching to using Sets (I like the term ‘Binder’ much better’ also), and running in Projects instead of Sessions. Like Liz, not sure if I can get the cats herded in the same direction. Was thinking of creating a ‘Category’ for RFIs and putting my RFIs right in the same Set as my contract drawings kind of like another discipline

Version 20.2.85

[Chris Riley]

Yes, I have watched that and it was very helpful. I have those processes incorporated, just looking for a good way to create a Summary file or page for all RFIs on a job. Not the best at using some of the more advanced features in Bluebeam, but slowly picking up on them.
