Hi Matt. Did upgrading to the current version of Revu solve this problem?

[David Cutler]

Thank you for the heads up Troy!

Are they saved a part of a profile that you have saved?

[David Cutler]

Well, I’m not a designer so this may be way off base, but I’ll throw it out there.

Working from the page that has the sections/details on it perform a visual search for the tag/callout symbol. Then test each result to see if it works as expected. As you test each one apply a custom markup that allows you to chose a custom value such as “works” or “broken”. The person addressing the markup could then set a custom status such as “fixed” or something along those lines.

Would something along these lines help them?

Very interesting problem @matt-hackman

Actually it sounds like a nightmare! Something like this would stop me in my tracks!

A couple of questions:

– What version is this person using?

– Are they setup with the same profile as others in your company?

– Have you submitted this one directly to Bluebeam yet?

Please keep us posted!

[David Cutler]

That’s an interesting one.

This is a great one to share!

Have you used the “lasso” tool @isaac-harned ? @Vince introduced me to this one a while back. Works similarly to clicking and dragging left, but you can be more selective with the shape of your selection window.

Good to know @Doug McLean !

At this point I’m not using any drop downs in my tools. Maybe in a future update… 🙂

[David Cutler]

This is a great way to copy markups to an updated sheet instead of starting from scratch!

[David Cutler]

I was surprised previously when I learned that a status couldn’t be removed Doug. @Dwane Lindsey ‘s “None” status is a great way to “clear” an incorrectly applied status.

[David Cutler]

Thank you @Dwane Lindsey for presenting yesterday!

[David Cutler]

Did you ever get to have a look at this system @Vince ?

[David Cutler]

This one might be a good one to bring to the attention of folks you know at Bluebeam – or perhaps someone who is already reading this 😎.

I could see two improvements in the “Clear Recent Files” option:

1. Add a “Are you sure you want to do this as this will not only clear your recent files but also your Categories and Pinned files” warning message.

2. Split the “Clear Recent Files” into a “Clear Recent Files” and a separate “Clear Categories and Pinned files” option.

After all, what every day user would have ever thought that “Clear Recent Files” would clear your categories and pinned files??????

[David Cutler]

Might be an opportunity to discuss “Best Practices” for files that you access regularly.

To start I’d suggest establishing a “quick reference” folder on your system that is backed up regularly and then have a shortcut to that location pinned to your file explorer. This will take some effort to keep current, but will avoid this issue (an others) in the future.

Next I would pin 1 of those files to your quick access in the file menu in Revu. This would allow you to right click on the file and open that folder to access the other reference files without having all of them pinned directly in Revu.

[David Cutler]

Updating sounds like a good first step. Hopefully that does the trick!

I was a bit worried that your new user had found a way to break the latest version. That would have a number of us very scared!

Please keep us posted Matt.

That’s a great point @Vince !

I appreciate when I receive PDFs with layers, but at the same time sometimes there are only one or two pieces of information on a layer which makes the layer list overwhelming. Deleting a few layers, while maintaining the content could be helpful.
