Hi all, I’m having an issue with Headers and Footers. The preview looks perfect, header across the top and footer across the bottom with 1" margins. But after I hit OK, everything gets bunched up in the bottom right corner of the sheet, and the header ends up down by the title block instead of at the top. The font also…
I would like to know if it is possible while grouping to retain the dominant label name for the new group. I am also curious is we will ever be able to get the .csv output with the parent/child relationships. The ability to maintain the layer states, upon grouping would be another ask, but not as important. Thanks,
@pgiraldoclavijo uses Stitching in #BluebeamMax to connect multiple sheets and create one continuous drawing, without the screenshots, printed sheets, or guesswork. Here's how: 🔹 Connect matchlines: Pablo starts by identifying and connecting the corresponding matchlines across multiple sheets. 🔹 Select regions: Defines…
Duplicate as + Offset = the perfect combination for a faster way to measure complex foundation details. @Vince French uses Duplicate as & Offset in #BluebeamMax for a faster way to measure complex foundation details. Here's how: 🔹 Start with the building footprint: Vince begins with a standard area measurement of the…
Does anyone know why I can suddenly no longer reorder pages in thumbnails? I'm hoping that someone has found a solution to this issue. Bluebeam support can't seem to address this question in a timely fashion due to an overload of tech support questions.
What's the benefit of Filter and Sort? Specific detail and why its grayed out. Is it based off of subscription level?
When I select a comment to change the status, the context menu disappears and I cannot change the status of a comment. I cannot change the status of my own comments, nor ones that others have added. What is going on?
BACKGROUND Sorting PDFs into categories helps keep ready-access lists for related project documents together. For example, a category for all of the open RFIs for a project ("Project 26-XXX - Open RFI"), all of the current drawings for a project ("Project 26-XXX - Current Dwgs"), all of the current submittals ("Project…
I really enjoy studio project, but I recently realized that when closing-out a project there is no function built into bluebeam to allow me to export every revision of the files I have hosted in my project. I would have to go in and export each revision manually, which is labor intensive. This is problematic for me,…
I am currently running BB Revu v21.9, with BB Engine 21.9.0.16288, and I am looking to disable WebTabs. I have already set links to open in external browsers, but they still sometimes open from a mis-click or something of that sort. This isn't a feature that I use, so I would prefer to disable/remove them entirely.…
I noticed this the other day, and I'm entirely sure that this isn't a bug. You can manually enter an Item, into a Choice Custom Column, multiple times. However, you cannot IMPORT from a csv file that same item multiple times. This seems really strange to me. I got an error message saying that only the first instance would…
So, after playing about with Max and Claude last night, I discovered a new way to stitch drawings together! Basically, there is now no need to use the new stitching feature in Max nor take snapshots and join them together yourself. Instead, you can create a skill in Claude and get everything done automatically - well that…
Howdy Y'all, Does the usergroup have a .btx symbol library tool set for Oil and Gas type symbols? We have any free libraries we can use?

when entering text in bluebeam max markup list, why doesn't it auto save and create a suggested list as you type like it did with core?In Bluebeam Revu, the Max edition differs from Core by focusing on advanced structural workflows. If your text fields and Markups list aren't auto-completing or suggesting past terms, it is…
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
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…
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 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…
Are any libraries available for the commercial roofing industry I am looking for ways to help add components to low slope roof drawings as well as keep a standard set of tools for shop drawings
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…
