I’ll hold my response to this one.

To confirm my understanding, all the dimensions on the printed drawing are in metric, and you’re converting each one manually? I know it would be tedious to do markup measurement for each of the already dimensioned elements, but I feel like it would be faster than the math to convert them. If they are already Bluebeam measurements, you can change the unit of measure to feet & inches, and not have to redo anything….

If you go to the Tools menu, all the way at the bottom, you will see Reuse. Make sure that is turned on. Also, if you go to Tools > Toolbars make sure the Status Bar is turned on. This will show a toolbar at the bottom-right of your interface, where you will see a button to turn on the Reuse Markup Tool. Some other important button on there for you is the Snap To Content tool that will help you get more accurate measurements faster. It snaps to the linework in the PDF.

Thanks for being in the Brainery @bb-user

For 2026, I plan on learning more about Task Link workflows with the GoCanvas integrations. I believe there are significant benefits to these tools working together.

As for what I feel I have dialed in, my Pinned documents, organized into categories, are working really well for me. It keeps all my documents at my fingertips when I teach or when someone asks a question on the fly.

Thanks for downloading the Free Tools @wpajakwmjdonovan-com

Once you have all your tools built and placed in the Toolset, click on the properties gear to the right of the Toolset title. Then select Legend > Create New Legend. This will create a legend of only the tools in that Toolset. Next, go to your properties and modify what data you want to see and its appearance. Then, right-click on the legend and select ‘Add to Toolchest’, choosing the same toolset. This should keep everything clean and organized.

If this was already your workflow, let us know a little more detail on what isn’t working for you.

Yes Sir, you can set the zoom in the Layers panel so you only see markups when zoomed into a specific scale threshold. It’s nice when you have a lot of markups in a small area, you can have smaller markups so they don’t overlap.

I have some customer training to complete before the slower holiday week. I plan to upgrade then. I’m looking forward to deep diving into Cloud and GoCanvas over the break.

It’s actually for typing in any text tool like the Textbox, Callout, Cloud+, Typewriter, etc.

Second part of my answer, when you are in a command and want to pan to a different area of the document without canceling the tool, you can hold your spacebar.

Unfortunately, that doesn’t allow them to keep the counts and work they’ve already completed. Thanks for responding with your thoughts @isaac-harned

And then the next thing to watch for….. 🤣

Interesting find. Thanks for sharing. I can see where this would speed up common measurements.

Glad to hear they were all scheduled appointments.

I was just building out the schedule for presentations yesterday. I will send it out soon so you can pick a date. Can’t wait to see your full presentation.

Some companies want linear footage, while others want tonnage. The formula for Tonnage is definitely easier and more consistent. Thanks for circling back @dhwalkellc .

Excellent, welcome to the community @wpajakwmjdonovan-com

Thank you for posting, your question will help others learn and avoid the same struggles.

[Troy DeGroot]

Proud to still do that. Hopefully, I still have some nuggets you can use. I just have to get all the way through my tips & tricks presentation. 🙃
