Random question for you. I’ve found that sometimes when I select an object to make an icon for my tool chest; I’ll format the properties (colour/name etc) and then save it to my tool box. Sometimes after doing this for several images, I find that suddenly Bluebeam will stop reading the new image, I.e. it suddenly will only past the last image I copied; it won’t past the image I just selected. It’s like the clipboard is too full. How do I stop that?
Yeah I’ve totally seen that before. Usually on certain PDF’s. If you see it happen. Take the pdf with no mark ups. Save it. Then go to file > Create > from file - choose the pdf and bb will optimize the pdf with Bluebeam secret sauce. Works like a charm
Is there a way to do a construction takeoff in Bluebeam, and have it export to a live PDF? my company currently has an outdated excel template for estimates that i have to go back and fourth between, so I am wondering if there is a way to connect a construction drawing to a live PDF as im working in it? Thanks!
Thank you for sharing.

Yes you need to have the extreme version of Bluebeam. Feature is called quantity link
I'm trying to sequence a 2 line callout. Line 1- 3493-R1 Line 2-C01/02. How do I accomplish this?
Yikes, that is not possible unfortunately.
Appreciate the helpful tips!
