Is the map location the same on every page?

In this video, I show how to replace the cover sheet number with a project number. A little trick I think will work the same for your map page. https://uchapter2.com/bluebeam-training-video/bluebeam-revu-automark-batch-hyperlink/

This might be what you’re looking for Vince. https://uchapter2.com/auto-fill-driving-you-crazy-in-bluebeam-revu/?no_frame=1

Vince, you’re correct the custom columns live in the document, not the profile. Go into an updated drawing and go to the custom column tab. Export the custom column file to a good location. Not on your old documents, go to the custom columns tab again and import that file. This should update the document!

I’ve been saying it for years, Bluebeam is the Franks Hot Sause of software. 🔥

“You can put that $h!t on anything.” 🤣😂

I see anywhere that you can export the Linestyle name, which is interesting, that would be just as important as the color. One way you could get around this is to make sure the subject of the tool matches the linestyle used. This way you can export the Subject if you’re not already. Just a thought….

@brettruppel This is interesting. I need to get caught up with the whole process here and make sure I understand the existing process.

1. You’re creating quantities using markups in Bluebeam
2. Manually entering line items and quantities into B2W
3. Printing a PDF or exporting a CSV file from B2W. ?
4. Using Adobe to import data from PDF or .CSV into a PDF form.

These courses are a rare opportunity, so many gold nuggets are shared every year. I hope you get a chance to fit a few recordings into your schedule over the next few weeks to catch up.

LOL, Have a great weekend David!

It’s hard to know each situation with so many workflows and viewpoints. I have companies I go in and all their estimators are all doing their own thing, and it works. Thanks for posting Matt, I appreciate you in the group!

You’re not losing any features after you split them. The whole purpose of the count tool is to have items grouped and give you a total. If you split them they turn into regular markup tools. What Andrew was saying is to create a tool without the count functionality. If you have a simple markup tool and give it a Subject name when you sort the markups list by Subject by clicking on the column header, it will group all your markups by the Subject and tell you how many there are.

Often times I will have the estimators use the count tool so all the items stay grouped, but when they start to install those items, I split them, so I can change the status of each as they are completed.

I hope this makes sense, maybe I need to see it live to better understand your workflow.

For me it’s a way to remove all my misspellings.😂

The customer wanted to keep ft’in” to know the true length. I have to build a custom column to round up. Unless there’s another way… thanks Matt!

Once you have the grid imported in the PDF, try “Automatically Create Form Fields”

Oh wait, add that to your list of reasons to get Extreme. 😂😂
