While many Architectural, Engineering and Construction firms use Bluebeam Revu to convert CAD to PDF, there’s an often overlooked capability that is as plain as the nose on your face. “Nowadays, I draw in Bluebeam equal amounts to sketching or CAD.” Overtime he has added custom tool sets into his tool chest copying some tools from CAD and creating others from scratch in Bluebeam.

The World Coordinate System (WCS) is used to orient the CAD file in the view. If the current view is set to True North and True North is rotated away from Project North, then clear this option to align the CAD file with True North. If you select this option, the CAD file will align with Project North regardless of the view orientation. Note: CAD files are always imported into the current view from the top view direction.

CAD Works Content Browser. Im grumpy because I want a Bell and Gossett Revit family quick and I do not want to install CAD Works Revit add on to get it. This may mean that I am old and set in my ways, and I should just get over the fact that I need to install CAD Works Content Browser to get this family. I think the guys at CAD Works do great work and I hope the family I eventually get will be fine, but the extra step and required connection to CAD Works irritates me.

Keeping in mind that doing so doesn''t establish a shared coordinate relationship between the CAD file and the project. That''s true, it is just another CAD file as far as this project is concerned. That means it will line up correctly because our project is aligned with the same WCS and both cad files already use the same WCS origin between themselves. We really don''t want to create a named UCS in the CAD file the dialog references.
