Hi everyone! This month’s challenge is all about combining forces. Some tools in Bluebeam Revu are powerful on their own, but can become even better when paired together. For March, we’re spotlighting your favorite Power Combos! Two or more features that work together to make your workflow faster, smarter, or more…

I believe the crosshair color customization needs to be restored. I relied on this feature for a long time, and in the newer version it appears that I’m no longer able to change it. This change significantly affects my workflow.
CAn we export form Bluebeam to DXF. If not any way we can export the lines to be used in anlaysis software
Some of the consultant drawings I receive have a protected scale and when taking measurement and areas it doesn`t show up in the markup list. Also the drawing is blued out. Is there away around this Many thanks Murray
Hey all, big milestone this week 🚀 As of yesterday, we shipped Bluebeam iOS v1.27, bringing Measurements to Studio Sessions. That means you now have basic measurement capabilities across: 📁 Studio Projects 🔄 Studio Sessions 📱 Files stored on-device All from the iOS app. Even better? 🙌 These measurement tools are free to…
I've been trying to find anything related to this, but all I see is default tool 'settings' but I want to change the tool, not settings of the tool. The default selected now is the pan tool but my most used tool is the select text tool and when I open a new PDF or have multiple opened and then I close one, Revu will change…
While creating a set and editing tags, it would be nice to not have the esc key close the window and lose all the work that was done. Some kind of warning window to appear. I lost about an hour of work the other day.
Many times when we're answering (or asking) questions, we need to screenshot the area in question (no pun intended). One tool I find very helpful is Greenshot. It has a lot of built-in tools that make snipping and marking up screenshots very easy and clear. And it's FREE! https://getgreenshot.org/ What other tools do you…
I just installed version 21.4 this morning on a second work machine, and encountered the common problem of Print to Bluebeam being broken during install. I resolved the problem using the following steps (Windows 11, 64 bit). I have admin privileges, so make sure you can make such changes before starting. I can't guarantee…
It would be nice if the AutoCAD plugin also worked with Bricscad. Bricscad LISP is very similar and many things that work in ACAD work in Bricscad as well.
A common issue I run into is in situations where synchronize document would be helpful: Backchecking old plan sets, comparing two documents, etc. I can't use the synchronize document or page tools since the two or more pdfs have different page counts/page orders. It would be great to have a synchronize document tool that…
Hi, Is there anything in BlueBeam's pipeline to support Microsoft Intune and their policies? Like App Protection Policy? Or other MDM solutions. If not, does anyone have experience in how to handle this? There must be alot of people using BlueBeam with Intune or other MDM solutions.

Every Friday a small group of us posts a "Fun Fact" to share with all our Bluebeam users in our office, and I'm especially proud of this one. 😊 (Created with some help from Claude!) https://us.v-cdn.net/6038146/uploads/3JN77WIYELQH/lady-whistledown.pdf
This week, we're highlighting how to match markup colors instantly using the Eyedropper tool in Bluebeam Revu! Keeping your markups visually consistent is key—especially when teams use color to represent trades, status updates, or review comments. Instead of manually selecting the same color each time, Revu makes it easy…
Following my post about who uses multiple custom profiles on a daily basis, even though it appeared there aren't many of us, I thought it would still be worth while making a request for some standard features which make things a whole lot easier. Exporting of the csv file - make it possible to use 'current folder' as a…
We need a better way to draw arcs or poly arcs, like in cad or illustrator.
It would be helpful if Revu would allow changing the color of the document tabs. I often work with several files open in engineering field, especially when reviewing markups. The tabs become so small that the document title would be hidden. I would like to do something like this: Set my initial marked-up documents in a red…

Select the circle Press and…
Hello, We use Bluebeam Studio with projects/sessions connected to Tyler's Enterprise Permitting & Licensing (EPL) software. If an employee leaves our organization, the sessions in EPL will break. Tyler will "mass" update all the employees owned projects/sessions by running a script on their end. However, the records need…
My request is for a mini-window split view command, where you select a view area and that creates a split view that is a small floating view window showing the selected area. This window needs to NOT be set to sync view. When reading/reviewing documents, I often find myself needing to take a snapshot of things like a…
I marked up a cloud in Revu and added three comments to the markup. On the web version, I can see all three comments. However, on the iPad, only two are displayed, and the first comment is not visible. Does anybody know how to display the first comment on the iPad?
Hello, I have used the Grab feature for years and it is one of my most frequently used tools. Recently, however, when I grab from one drawing and paste into another, the file size increases from around 1 MB to 2 GB. If I switch off “Take Vector Snapshots”, it resolves the file size issue and the drawing size hardly…
Hey, Is anyone know why Revu is crashing. I open it uplaod plans start measuring and it just crashes. I have uninstalled and re-installed. I have a very time sensitive project that I am doing and need it now and support is over 24hrs away. Any help be much appreciated. Thank you
How do I figure out what the uncompleted actions are?
I have noticed when saving a file as PDF from Word the are sometime several bookmarks listed as "1". Bookmarks are created using Word headers, but there are never any headers named "1". Does anyone know why this happens and how to prevent it?

I've customized the callout tool for weld mapping (O&G fabrication). I have the line, endpoint, and text box shape as I like them. My problem is, when used in drawing mode, my pre-populated text and text box size is exactly how I want it but the line endpoint and associated lines are locked in place (not ideal). If I use…
How do I select multiple mark-ups and copy them to all sheets in the PDF?
I have a snapshot that I saved in my toolbox. The picture went away and the tool was grayed out, so I deleted it. The empty snapshot got onto my document while I was doing this process. I did not realize it at the time and continued marking up the document. Everything else is working properly. Now I have the grayed out…
Hi—has anyone found a way to navigate the menu bar using alt and arrow keys (or something else)? I'm currently seeing that pressing alt highlights "revu" on the left, but no key can drop it down or shift the highlight to a different menu bar option (eg document). I also notice that if alt is pressed, then a menu bar option…
As part of preliminary estimating for roadway projects I have created a custom toolbox for area, length and count items. I can change the color. Is there a way to change the icon to something like SW for sidewalk area? I have the measuring tools set up with custom labels and layers to facilitate review and quantity total…
When using Bluebeam I find times when I need multiple pages locked together in one view for measurement purposes or to layout something which spans multiple pages, there must be a more intelligent method which Bluebeam can offer then what I have done which is pasting screen shots of other pages onto one page then manually…
Hello! Today when uploading a capture from a screenshot, the image sets at 3D, does anyone know how to make the capture images to set at 2D? Thanks in advance
