I have some hyperlinks that have became un-editable? Somehow? Can anybody tell me why? I would like to get them cleaned up some. And BB is not letting me for whatever reason? See the attached screenshots of the properties for each.
i am trying o add a new measurement to an existing polylength. so, i have done a poly and want to add a perpindicular line from the middle of the existing line and continue the length measurement
I use the pen function a lot, and it seems that with the latest update the pen will not smooth-out after using it. So, if I draw a zig zag on purpose, the line with smooth-out to essentially a straight line, and essentially any curve I draw, the line gets smoothed-out and then looks like nothing of what I wanted to draw.
I am looking for a quick and easy way to change the center of what you are viewing on BB in an IFC. In Tekla, you press one button (v), click a spot (usually a part) and that becomes the point where the model you are viewing rotates around. Does something like this exist in Bluebeam? We have large models and frequently…
The plotter is capable of 50-foot (600") roll plots, but Bluebeam now caps the size at 129" (10.75'). This is a huge issue that has led to look for other PDF options to switch to immediately. Other versions did not have this cap. The size of a print should not be dictated by the software, but rather the capabilities of the…
Hi for some reason, the latest version of bluebeam revu V21.11, when I use the tool add footing to the file, some sections of the file has the footing fliped at the head and other section of the file have it correctly, that didn`t happen in the version V21.10, did you have the same issue? and how we can solved? I jump to…
The issue I am running into is that there is no multiline or text wrapping of the displayed text within the Legend. I am trying to come up with a unique usage for displaying questions on drawings using custom markups and the Markups Legend. I currently run a PDF summary of all of my custom callouts to create a list of all…
Please consider adding the ability for users to locally group their studio sessions together on their machine. Even with the existing Show/Sort filters that are provided, there can be a lot of sessions to sort through when trying to find one. Since the titles of sessions can vary wildly by project or who created them, they…
Hi I'm having a problem with the Markups list → Subject. Instead of dividing into the subject that I have assigned, I first get everything divided into the length of the X i layout??? I have no idea why it is divided that way all of a sudden Do anyone have any idea what is happing here and how to get it back to just the…
On my document I've used a text box to simulate an equipment tag on the pdf. When I apply a custom status to the text box markup, it changes the text color but I would like it to change the fill color (at a reduced opacity) and not the text color. Is that an option?
How much time do you spend turning Bluebeam markups into estimates and quotes? As a security systems technician, I know how much time can disappear between marking up a drawing, checking quantities, calculating costs, and preparing a quote for a client. That's why I've been working on NEXORA Takeoff & Quote Studio, a tool…
Bluebeam Revu uses the %AppData% path for storing stamps in Revu 21.10 and later. However, when exporting and importing tool sets or stamps, the stamp paths are stored as absolute paths. Engineer Bob is using an imported tool referencing a path with the outdated username and wondering why his imported tool set doesn't…
I feel like Im missing something… Do I have the ability to zoom, pan Left / Right and Scroll UP / Down at the same time. (Without grabbing tha page with the hand, without selecting 'One Full Page' or Scrolling pages. I work with a lot of schematic line drawings and I regularly zoom in and have to trace wiring around the…

Hello and good day to you. Please lend a machete to this intellectual thicket. While moving a set of plans to Studio what is the best way to do it while maintaining Action Links with Relative Paths within the plan set? I moved several plan sets to Studio and some of the links that were in those sheets referenced some…
When I do a search and hyperlink checked. Sometimes I get a way oversized highlight box? I think it might be caused by an OCR issue? Is there a way to refine OCR to better recognize text? Or a way to fine tune it I mean. I have tried multiple OCR options to no end. See that attachment? Any ideas would be much appreciated.…
When I try to print a larger PDF drawing file it takes BlueBeam forever to spool to the printer. It didn't used to do this until a few weeks ago. I keep having to open the file in a web browser to print the drawing without taking an hour to spool. I'm wondering if there is a setting wrong somewhere.
always thought this pull down menu was in bluebeam out of the box. guess not. think of this menu like the function of a simple highlight to count and provide one markup each (as in my tools), except in addition to highlight and counting, it also includes a corresponding symbol like duplex receptacle or sp switch snapshot…
