Hey Bluebeamers! I'm Reesa, one of the product managers here at Bluebeam. We've been working on some ideas around how notifications and updates show up in Bluebeam solutions, and we're curious about how this feels for you day-to-day. 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…
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,…
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…
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?
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.
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.
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…
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.
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…
Hello! I am trying to recreate a drawing that is shown in the attached image. I am using the sketch to scale tool, and manually inputting the measurements. However, when I put in the correct measurement, Bluebeam seems to automatically change/update it. This causes the drawing measurement to be off by a little. Do you guys…
I am new to BlueBeam Revu I am administrator I added files to a studio project on my User Site How do I share those files to my other users Project Managers
Studio adoption isn't high in my company and I hate having to consolidate conflicting file versions. Is there a way make it so if I and another bluebeam revu user have the same pdf open at the same time, it automatically creates a temporary bluebeam studio session for us?

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…
Hello everyone, I'm looking for advice from experienced Bluebeam users regarding a one-time migration of a large inspection project. I use Bluebeam Revu 20 eXtreme for the annual condition inspections of several multi-storey parking garages. Over the years, we have created thousands of markups (photos, text boxes, arrows,…
Problem I'm experiencing is when you're typing in the search bar within the 'Tool Chest' panel, if you move your cursor out of the search box itself, the text cursor disappears and the program starts registering any key strokes as hotkeys. This doesn't happen with the search box within the 'Search' panel for example.…
If a document has been converted to a PDF and it contains handwritten content (such as signatures, handwritten notes, or annotations), is there any way to extract that handwritten content from the PDF? Is there any built-in option available, or do we need to install a plugin or use a separate tool for this? Please let me…
I have spaces defined ( a room) , and a count of objects in the spaces counted (electrical devices) . So.. when I output those in a a summary - organized by space. I would like to have a snapshot of the space show up on each summary. I'm thinkin maybe a copy and paste snapshot can be somehow connected or saved to the space…
