Build connections with Bluebeamers around the world, discover what’s new, and make your voice heard.
Couple of really annoying issues/bugs and potential improvements in latest version of BB (Version 21.10.0.19316). Flattening something on a sheet turns all the layers back on - painful on heavily layered pdf's Ungrouping a group, ungroups all groups nested in the master group. This one comes and goes depending on the build…

Hey Bluebeamers! I'm Reesa, one of the product managers here at Bluebeam.

We know some of you are in the trenches of your email inbox, setting up custom filtering…
Hi everyone! We're bringing back a community favorite for July and August—Shortcuts! This challenge will run for a couple months, as it's a popular feature. The last time we ran a shortcuts challenge was back in October 2024, and a lot has changed since then. New community members have joined, workflows have evolved, and…
I am trying to summarize markups, (counts), that was done by space. I am outputing as a PDF, by space. There will be dozens of spaces. Everything is good in my sample below - except for I don't want this totals line. The totals checkbox - is NOT checked. If I output as a CVS, the totals checkbox works fine, and that line…
My Genie Tool would be "Do It For Me." 🧞 I would simply say what I need in plain English, and Bluebeam would handle the rest. 🔸 "Measure all drywall and export by room." 🔸 "Find every revision cloud between these two drawings." 🔸 "Create a punch list from these comments." 🔸 "Count all fire-rated doors." 🔸 "Generate an RFI…
I'd like to suggest if there is a way to create a "script" or custom file that allows users to use page labeling more efficiently. Most everybody has there own Titleblock. Every time I print, i have to go recreate the SAME page regions with a - between Sheet Name and Description. It would be great to have something simpler…
My idea is to allow multi-leaders for the Cloud+ markup. The end of each leader would be another cloud. So there would be one text field with multiple leaders where the "arrowhead" so to speak is another cloud. Frequently I want to same the same thing about different spots in the sheet, so I want to surround each spot with…
Hey Brains Trust, Using spaces for Takeoff. When I mark the space on a GA Drawings and copy / paste to an Elec drawing the space rotates as shown in the pics… What causes this and is there a way to stop this happening? There is no option to rotate this and its doubling work.
Hello, we use markup statuses to track drawing comments and actions on them. In a 'normal' session we can assign and change markup statuses, which we colour code too. However, if we set up a Project, and then create a Session using documents in the Project, none of this works. Or at least, we can't get it to work. There is…
I need a tool or plugin To automatically place items, lines and measurements onto a pdf file. The input should be a code or a previsous drawn line. I tried with javascript but this does not read the properties of markups list. Therefor it can not cenerate a measurement on the right places. Is there a plugin tool or another…
I use a lot of templates for cable reports. I build out the reports ahead of cable testing and hyperlink to them from my cable schedule. Is there a quick way to access a template? I have not found a way to hotkey one? Is that possible?
Having MFA on to view PDFs is absurd. Please remove this requirement and that it's using a authenticator app. It is wholy unnecessary to add the hoop to get work done.
Today's pick: Round All Corners. If you've ever traced an area with sharp corners but needed smooth, rounded edges, this tool can save a lot of cleanup time. A few ways I use it: 🔹Landscape and pavement takeoffs. 🔹Curved sidewalks and driveways. 🔹Rounded room layouts. 🔹Site plans with curved boundaries. Instead of manually…
If I could add one feature to Bluebeam, it would be Voice Access. Imagine saying: 🔸 "Measure this wall." 🔸 "Place a door count." 🔸 "Apply Approved status." 🔸 "Open Tool Chest." 🔸 "Calibrate the drawing." No more hunting through menus just speak and get the job done. What's the one feature you'd add to Bluebeam if you had…
Is there a way to increase the pop out font size? I do some editing in the pop out, cutting and pasting.. I would like to have a bigger pop out window, with bigger fonts? Any body know of a way to do this? I tried the windows settings. It did nothing to it. See the attached pic, it a snip of the window I am working with.
Hi all, Looking for a bit of help here with Spaces. I am copying spaces between services plans (Power plan to Lighting plan etc.) so identical building layout, but the space is often rotated by 90° regardless of page rotation. I have read the community posts on Rotating pages, but even if I copy the spaces (even grouped,…
When I hover over a document list it throws a pop out preview of the document? How can I get rid of this? It somewhat annoying? lol, See Screenshot.
We are having an issue where our detailers are sending PDFs of blueprints and they will not be grouped by page size. Where this becomes an issue is when we go to print, we have (2) different printers we use. One large format and one smaller printer. Also, occasionally they get a page size wrong, (use 12x18 instead of…
Sometimes right click will drop it, but most times I must select a new tool before escape will work. and no, my reuse markup tool is not engaged when this happens.
I’m trying to determine whether I’m encountering a limitation in Bluebeam iOS 1.31 or if there is a different workflow I should be using. In Revu Desktop, I created custom Count tools with unique Subjects, Labels, colors/symbols, and other properties. I saved them to a Tool Set, exported the .btx file, and imported that…
