Anyone else having this problem? I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times. Had IT clean up my files yesterday, but the problem has returned today.
Hi, for Bluebeam Studio, could you please add the following improvements: 1) SUBFOLDERS: For sessions, allow for a user to create subfolders, sometimes we use long session names to track session IDs, but this can be difficult to read, instead if Bluebeam could add a feature to create subfolders under sessions, that would…
I have a set of plans w mutiple pages. the person who created the plans did not have it set up to link the details to the sheet the detail is on. the details symbols look like that which i attached. I have tried to follow the BB instructions, watch videos, read google questions all to no avail. Some info out there…
Is anyone else having the same experience as me? I'm trying to use the new Bluebeam Mobile App on my iPad in the field. If I check out a document, go to the document and make a markup. When I go back to the document list the file will say "This document is locked by another user." -I am the one who checked it out not 5…
I don't know how many times I have drawn a rectangle or polygon shape to create an outline or fill, only to need the area. Instead of redrawing it, it would be great to be able to simply convert it to an area. Or have them always calculate area regardless of the tool?
Good lord why isn't there a way to lock the tool chest. Why are tools jumping around from section to section. I am not doing it, it actually wont let you move tools the way that it is moving tools around by itself. Sooo frustrating knowing that you have built a tool, to find it missing and then to re-find it in an entirely…
Sometimes it is nice to check markups are applied correctly by clicking through the markups list and seeing where the markup is located in the document. Currently, if your markups list is sorted by a column (subject for example) the individual markups are sorted below the Subject value in an "as created" order - as best I…
Better arc control - 3 Point arc is the best (Skectchup / ACAD) and then Editing that arc with the mid point or end point ie: CAD. The Illustrator Method currently being used is way too complex than it needs to be. Simple arcs
How about adding a little more border area so the window can EASILY be resized.
The ability to change the color of a bookmark in the bookmark panel is a nice way to make your bookmarks easier to find: How about adding the ability to change the properties of the data in the markups list? Perhaps this could be tied to a comment status in review situations?
While I'm sure this has been submitted as a suggestion before the Community page was launched by @Doug McLean and @Vince French (and others) I don't see it in the product feedback area for upvoting.
I'm currently getting up to speed on a project that includes nearly 1,800 pages of specifications across 3 volumes. The PDFs include dozens of Bookmarks, which can help with navigation, but there are still a lot to scroll through. While I can search the entire document - or even all 3 documents - for a text value using the…
The Bluebeam Community is a great place to find Tips & Tricks, but it isn't the only one out there! Some of my favorites: UChapter2.com - @Troy DeGroot has had his "Brainery" discussion board https://uchapter2.com/bluebeam-forums/ available for going on 5 years with nearly 600 discussion topics. He has online training…
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…
In a single pdf, you may have multiple reports. Lets say only the cover pages of those reports are bookmarked. You use the search function and find some info that you want to bookmark. But how do you know which report this info is in? You have to compare page numbers with the bookmarks. Currently Bluebeam uses the carrot (…
Ex. Polylength Measurements. There should be an option under Edit to show Subject. In my use I have to end up copying the subject line to the Label because I need a visual description on the line to show what it is. This ends up taking up a lot of time when you have to do it multiple times.
I have Revu X64 Standard. The program just started closing if I use the shortcut key or the toolbar for either Highlite or Pen. Any files that are open are closed. Anyone seen this or have an idea why?
Does anyone have any experience with using a digital writing pad on Bluebeam for marking up plans or doing quantity take-off's?
Hi All, I slip sheeted revised pages into my plans but my bookmarks still point to the superseded pages. Is there a way to batch correct this? Thanks ahead, Ian
There should be a way to limit/restrict the general tools within a session, allowing only tools provided in a tool chest to be used. Currently, participants can use tools outside of the toolbox. Even if a profile is setup to hide unwanted tools, users can reopen hidden tools or use key-in shortcuts. This hinders the…
Hello everyone! Can someone please tell me where the experts are on utilizing BB cloud on an iPhone in conjunction with their BB revu on their laptop! I have too many questions to ask here!🙄

I may be missing something but with this new update. for some reason or other I cannot keep my custom columns for every PDF. I have to continually input them in.
This morning, I created a set and I have my set setting in the photo, but my markups are not transferring to the revised sheets. How do I get the set to reprocess?
I would like to create a custom column that will give me either one of two choices. 4x8 or 4x10 based on logic. Is this possible?
Prior to Bluebeam 21.7, I could press the <Control> key to have the program avoid snapping to objects. If I do that with version 21.7, it negates any drag-and-drop style of creating a polygon. If I have both <control> and <shift> pressed, it also leaves annoying line extensions toward wherever my mouse was when clicked,…
I am trying to develop a system of creating a product data submittal. What is the most efficient way to select various pages of hardware, and bring them into one file?
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,…
