Captures in Bluebeam Revu
If we have tons of photos and images that need to be associated with a callout or measurement, we can associate them with the “Capture” function. It allows us to connect to our cameras and computers to take and find pictures to assign to our markups. Not only can we assign photos to our comments,…

Sequences in Bluebeam Revu
When we need to place tens of hundreds of markups, we can use the “Reuse” function to allow us to click continuously instead of having to click on the markup each time after placing it. We can take this concept one step further by turning our alphabetical and numerical markups into sequences. A sequence can…

Dynamic Blocks with Array Actions & Linear Parameters in AutoCAD – Part 5
This is the fifth part of our five-part series on creating dynamic blocks in AutoCAD. The process of copying an object and pasting it many times on a drawing can be tedious. By using a Linear parameter in conjunction with an Array action, we can create dynamic blocks that can be “stretched” and copied automatically…

Dynamic Blocks with Visibility, Linear, & Lookup Parameters in AutoCAD – Part 4
This is the fourth part of our five-part series on creating dynamic blocks in AutoCAD. One dynamic block can replace tens of hundreds of similar blocks of differing sizes and attributes. By using the Visibility, Linear, and Lookup parameters, we can toggle different “states” and allow our blocks to transform with a couple of clicks.…

Dynamic Blocks with Rotation & Flip Parameters in AutoCAD – Part 3
This is the third part of our five-part series on creating dynamic blocks in AutoCAD. There are many kinds of parameters and actions that we can associate with our blocks. The Flip and Rotation Parameters save us time by allowing us to toggle different “states” in which the object exists in model space. We don’t…

Dynamic Blocks with Multiple Insertion Points & Alignments in AutoCAD – Part 2
This is the second part of our five-part series on creating dynamic blocks in AutoCAD. Blocks can be created from lines and other objects. We can add a base point to them, and if we want to insert them from different points, we can add multiple insertion points to our blocks. This allows us to…
