Understanding the user interface - Bluebeam Revu Tutorial

- [Instructor] As I said in the last video, I will stay in the Revu Advanced profile for the rest of this course so that I can show you where to find things. Now, I think finding tools and functions can be one of the hardest parts about learning Bluebeam Revu. So I'm going to show you a few shortcuts. Since I can create and customize all the toolbars that I want and place them anywhere on the perimeter of this screen, or even over on a second screen, everyone's Bluebeam Revu screen can look a little different. The one thing that remains unchanged though, is the menu bar or this top menu bar that I introduced in the last video. Now, as I mouse over the menu bar and through the dropdown menus and expand them out even further, you start to get a sense for all of the available tools and commands. Again, almost all of these can be placed as a button anywhere on the perimeter of your screen and moved around, but they will always be available up here in the top menu bar, and they'll always be in the same place. Unless I'm in one of my familiar profiles and I'm looking for a tool that I use all the time, I generally just go up here to the top menu bar and select the tool from there. Now, the other way that you can quickly access your tools and functions is through the use of keyboard shortcuts. If I go back here to my Revu menu, you'll see that keyboard shortcuts is one of the options, and if I click on that, you'll see all of the built-in keyboard shortcuts that I have available to me. Now, I counted 178 built-in keyboard shortcuts. You'll never remember all of these, so let me show you another easy way to find a list that you can actually maybe print out and use for reference later. Let's click the X and close the keyboard shortcut menu. Go back to the top menu bar and click on help and scroll down to the keyboard shortcuts guide. When I click on that, scroll back up to the beginning of this document, I actually open up a PDF file, that is a PDF of the default keyboard shortcuts list. So again, as you scroll through here, 178 keyboard shortcuts that I found. You can find all these, and since it's a PDF document, you can actually go to file, click once to get the dropdown menu, click on print, and you can print this out to have on your desk as a reference to all of the available keyboard shortcuts, if that makes it easier for you. Now, as I scroll through this, you'll also notice that there's a section here with information on creating custom keyboard shortcuts. So yes, you can also make your own custom keyboard shortcuts and even reassign all 178 of these tools to different keys. If you want to see a demo of this, make sure you check out my video in our Bluebeam Tips and Tricks series at the address shown on your screen. For now, we're going to close this keyboard shortcuts document and go back to our sample floor plan so that we can go onto the next video and continue to move through this document and show you some more of the tools and commands here in Bluebeam Revu.
