    Is this an issue only from Bluebeam?

    Outside of Bluebeam, if you look at your printer settings, is there a half-tone setting turned on, maybe?

    I typically teach companies to have a template folder structure with template files on the network so you can upload that to each new Studio Project. Especially with Digital Dashboards. I think you have to download and upload if you want to pull from one to another.

    I was curious if maybe you needed to bump the PLLength parameter above the PLWeight parameter in the list to match the order in the formula. I know you have to have the list of parameters in the order of operations or they don’t work. It has to figure out one thing before it can insert that information into the next step.

    Sort of wish I was. I’d love to hear your feedback when you get back.

    Has anyone else attended other locations and have feedback?

    I’m still in 21.2 and I had the same issue during a class a couple of weeks ago. Completely random like you said, with no rhyme or reason to what works or doesn’t. Updates scare me!

    And great to have you back @Nic_Bitting I was just thinking about you last week. I might be headed to Grand Rapids again in March.

    Looking at the images, I’m not completely sure I understand…

    It looks like you created a link to the Space around the elevation view. You then added the link information to the markup comments on the plan.

    The better workflow is to create the Space the same way you did by naming it specifically according to the elevation. Then go back to the plan, right-click the elevation highlight, and select Edit Action. In the Edit Action window, select “Jump to” and select the document where the elevation lives. Next, go to the pulldown menu next to spaces and select the elevation space. Now when you click the highlight tag it will bring you to that Space.

    I’m not 100% sure I understood the question, but I hope this helped.

    Welcome to the community @jtoddowen

    Thanks for sharing such a great, detailed tip. I’ll have to dig deeper into this one!

    I love a good temporary override shortcut. Thanks for sharing @Roye

    I only use single-page documents in a Set (or Binder as I prefer to call it). I teach to extract pages from multi-page pdf’s and then create the Binder. If they are multi-page, I don’t know how BB would tag the pages and organize them as Binders are intended.

    Unfortunately, the same issue occurs with those custom labels in a Legend. Like everything else, there are great tools, but they have rules and limitations. I created some successful custom labels for a presentation at a steel detailing conference in September.

    On a side note, I think this feature was added several updates ago, but the dropdown menu you mentioned must be new in this latest release, I haven’t updated yet.

    Thanks for the post @DavidCutler

    I don’t have the exact test, but it seems to be working. My downfall is that I basically never close Bluebeam or shut down my computer. I blame some bugs on that because some of them go away when I shut down.

    I also created shortcuts on my desktop for these folders. I seem to go into them often.

    anyone can change the status. You wouldn’t be able to edit the markup, but you change the status to “Complete” “On Hold” or whatever you want to name the different status updates.

    Specifications are a different animal for sure. A digital dashboard might be a good option. If you still want to use the “Binder” method, you could maybe use the Batch Header/Footer tool to add a page number, then build the set using that as a page tag. You could also create a Place for the cover page of those specific sections, then in the drawings link to that Place. This way the hyperlink would go directly to the section.

    There are a few options to play with, we can keep brainstorming, but keep us posted on the direction you go. I’d love to learn from you as well!
