I mean, this is the nature of online services. Sometimes shit happens, even to the biggest of companies.

I remember a couple years ago there was a BIM360 outage that wreaked all kinds of havoc.

It happens. It sucks. But it’s not a frequent thing, so just adapt best you can until it comes back.

This is not an exhaustive how-to, but rather a collection of methods to interact with external files using JavaScript.

The methods used are:

• Insert external PDFs based on check boxes.
• Insert text from a .txt file.
• Populate a dropdown box and text field with data from a CSV file.
• Populate a dropdown box and text field with data from a JSON file.

As always, if anyone has any questions, just let me know! I’m happy to help anyone dive into the world of JavaScript in Bluebeam 😁

Only Bluebeam Cloud receives updates automatically.

For any installed software, it will still need to be updated by your IT department (to my knowledge).

The Multiply feature was implemented in version 21.0.50 and if you’re version is less than that, you won’t have the multiply feature.

To find out which version is installed, go to Revu → About. See the attached screenshots.

No, no form fields. And it happens to all documents, it’s the software not the document. The keyboard shortcut just doesn’t work anymore.

However, the functionality (autosizing the box around the text) works if we reassign it to a different keyboard shortcut.

Version 21.1

[Liz Larsen]

It still works from the context menu, the keyboard shortcut just doesn’t work.

RealObjects PDFreactor?

When I used the stapler, it made the larger set of shop drawings crash (cool), however the reasonably sized PDF converted properly and I was able to use keyboard shortcuts!

How the heck did your brain come up with that?? I stand before you in awe and with gratitude.

@troy-degroot Next time this happens to you, check the document properties and see what the printer was. See if using the stapler helps.

**Note** using the stapler will flatten your markups, so just be aware.

[Liz Larsen]

Nope. Keyboard shortcuts cannot create markups of any kind.

Non-markup related keyboard shortcuts work, though. For instance CTRL+P or CTRL+S. Those are fine.

[Liz Larsen]

Thanks for the update. I’ll be thinking about you guys tomorrow. Sending positive vibes into the universe for you.

[Liz Larsen]

Yeah, I’m thinking I’m going to have to set them up individually 😕 Seems to defeat the purpose of having groups.

[Liz Larsen]

Oh, I’m not the Session owner. Is that why? I have full permissions to this Session, but I did not create it.

[Liz Larsen]

In the Attendees tab, the green + only allows me to enter email addresses and the little people icon says “you have no groups or users available”. So I still cannot figure out how to add groups.

[Liz Larsen]

All of that sounds extremely stressful. But I’m glad to hear she’s doing better. I hope things go more smoothly as they dial in her medications. You both are in my thoughts.
