How Batch Hyperlink in Bluebeam Revu can Transform Your Digital Document Navigation Experience

Transitioning from paper documents to digital can be a challenging task, especially when dealing with complex drawing sets. The innate comfort we gain from physically flipping through a set of drawings is something that digital solutions often struggle to replicate. However, with the right tools, the move to digital documentation can not only replicate but also enhance the experience of navigating through your design documents. One such powerful tool is the Batch Hyperlink feature in Bluebeam Revu.

Batch Hyperlink is a tool designed to simplify and ease navigation through digital documents. Imagine being able to point to an entire folder and subfolders of drawings and bring the section cuts, elevations, and plan notes to life. With a simple click, you can jump from the plan to a section cut on a different sheet, eliminating the need for manual navigation. This powerful navigation tool is something that even experienced users often overlook.

As a bonus, if your cover sheet has a Sheet Index, you’ll notice that it, too, comes alive with links to every page in the set. Just like your fingers keeping a page in a physical book, the Batch Hyperlink feature enables easy navigation back and forth between different sections of the digital document.

Batch Hyperlink can also be beneficial for those working with small-format fabrication drawings where the drawing number is the piece mark number. Particularly in the case of steel fabrication, where you might have 11x17 drawings with a mark number and bill of materials, Revu can find those mark numbers as if they are section cuts and connect each piece on the plan to the sheet with the fabrication drawing. This advanced feature can revolutionize the way you navigate through your design documents.

However, it's important to note that the Batch Hyperlink tool is only available in the Extreme version of Bluebeam Revu. So, if you have Revu Extreme and haven’t yet discovered the power of Batch Hyperlink, you are in for an eye-opening experience.

While the Batch Hyperlink is a fantastic tool, it is just one of the many resources Bluebeam Revu offers. For instance, AutoMark is a great feature to use for updating digital page labels. As such, there are many creative ways to use Batch Hyperlink and each tool within Bluebeam Revu to optimize your workflow.

In conclusion, the transition from paper to digital doesn't have to be a painful process. With tools like Batch Hyperlink in Bluebeam Revu, you can radically transform your digital document navigation experience, making it more intuitive, efficient, and productive. And remember, this is just one of the many advanced design software technologies available.
