Nice tip, thanks for sharing!

This is great @David Cutler. I’ve built tools and custom columns for customers that match the estimating software for import. Sometimes the data in those columns is empty in Bluebeam, like you said. I simply hide those columns in Bluebeam to reduce clutter. They can still export, but we don’t need to see them. Unless, of course, you’re adding value by using them differently, like you are.

Great post, thanks for sharing!

Yes, this is a great tool for cleaning up existing drawings. When I teach this one, I describe it as a way to move PDF content out of the way while not removing it completely.

Any time I use this, I right away teach the right-click Flatten function so we don’t leave it as a markup with our name on it. 🤣

Filling in non-electronic forms is the only thing I use my typewriter for. Therefore, I changed my default to be Bradley Hand ITC size 10, and the color is set to blue. With these settings, it looks like I filled out the form by hand with a blue pen. I also have an image of my signature in my toolset. I changed the color to blue so I can sign forms.

Are you logged into your license?

I’m still very much at the start of the development phase. With two classes to teach, I’m quickly running out of time. It always comes together in the end.

Thanks for sharing the response @revu-user

This does make sense, what they’re saying is the tool in the recent toolbox is no longer current. I’ve never run into this issue simply because I’ve never tried it, so this was a great learning opertunity for me as well. Out of curiousity, where you able to do it before the lastest update?

[Troy DeGroot]

I was thinking, rather than fixing them, you could remove them and recreate them correctly using the labels. I’m confident you have it diled in, just asking for the sake of learning.

@lizlarsen Would it be faster to create the page labels and then create the bookmarks using those?

Unfortunately, I don’t see an easy solution. I’m excited to see what Claude can do and start playing with it.

They are sequencing doors to match the door schedule and working with a 140-page document. The sequence is continuing from sheet to sheet, so Slip Sheet isn’t an option. That was my first thought as well. The revised plans don’t have the same number of sheets either, so importing may not land the markups on the correct sheet, or any sheet after that.

Users don’t know what they don’t know, and trainers can train until they know what the user doesn’t know. 🤣

Perhaps I should deliver my Other 85% presentation to the Brainery Community.

The Stitching button is located in the current interface; it’s a side panel that you need to activate. But before you get too excited, I don’t think the tool is ready, and there is no documentation anywhere showing how to use it yet. I very quickly tried to figure it out, but had to move to some other pressing work.

A developer reached out to me about 2 years ago, asking about my video and workflow. Providing him with an understanding of how I stitched the drawings together and why the industry needs that functionality was the kickstart of the Stitching tool. Can’t wait to see it in action.

[Troy DeGroot]

That’s great. Who did you present to?

I’m still trying to get started on both of mine.

Lots going on here at UC2 headquarters. 🤣😬

Good thinking on the workarounds. I’m guessing that anytime they come out with a single decimal update (21.x), they get a bunch of bugs and support tickets. Once they get to the double decimal (21.x.x), they are fixing the bugs within the update. If that makes sense. And I doubt any of the support team are lucky enough to attend the conference.
