You can use the Previous View Button to quickly jump back to the plan sheet.Bluebeam Revu works as a plugin inside Microsoft Office’s Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint applications, as well as popular CAD programs, like AutoCAD. When you’re looking at a plan and want to look at a section cut on a different sheet, you simply click on it and you’re there. So, what is Batch Hyperlink and what does it do? Imagine pointing to an entire folder and subfolders of drawings and bringing the section cuts, elevations and plan notes to life.

I’m always excited to show this to experienced users who don’t know this tool exists.

One of the most challenging objectives when transitioning from paper documents to digital is overcoming the comfort we developed flipping through a set of physical drawings.
