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…
Provide a way to export search results to a excel or text file.
We need to use polylines to represent long connected segments of conduits, and these need to get shuffled and rearranged. It would useful to be able to move a straight segment of a polyline (ie the 2 vertices and the segment of polyline being grabbed) instead of being forced to move each end point individually. Bonus…
The plotter is capable of 50-foot (600") roll plots, but Bluebeam now caps the size at 129" (10.75'). This is a huge issue that has led to look for other PDF options to switch to immediately. Other versions did not have this cap. The size of a print should not be dictated by the software, but rather the capabilities of the…
Hello and good day to you. Please lend a machete to this intellectual thicket. While moving a set of plans to Studio what is the best way to do it while maintaining Action Links with Relative Paths within the plan set? I moved several plan sets to Studio and some of the links that were in those sheets referenced some…
Description: In previous versions of Bluebeam Revu, holding the Ctrl key while drawing a line (or other markups) would temporarily disable all snapping functions (Snap to Content, Snap to Markup, Snap to Grid). This was extremely useful for quickly drawing freely without needing to toggle snap settings on and off. Since…
Newer BB user here migrated from Acrobat Pro, really happy with the decision to switch, it's been quite a simple transition as well. One thing Acrobat made very simple that would be incedible if BB incorporated was the joining of PDFs. Prior I was able to select multiple PDF files, right click, join PDFs and the pdfs…
Working in Max 21.11. Stitching 3 sheets together. First attempt - just as I expected but stitch area had a revision cloud included that I didn't need. Adjusted the stitching area without issue (nice feature) and stitched again. Now I have a black background for most of the file, and a white background for a portion of the…
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.
Provide a way to quickly flip through a pdf to the next page with a comment. There should be an option to toggle such that PGUP/PGDN goes to the next page with a comment, skipping pages without markups. You should be able to set a markup filter and then this function would go only to active markups based on the filter…
Provide bookmark list navigation within every window. When using multiple screens, there is a need to quickly see the bookmark list on each screen for any given window. It could be a quick menu that you hover over on the corner of the screen, or a context menu.
Can't get to it. Can't submit a ticket either. Can anyone else confirm?
Hi there! So the current workflow for managing markup statuses (complete, accepted, rejected, etc.) is: Combine the set > save the set locally > open the set > create a markup > manage the markup statuses > save it > upload the set to a BlueBeam session I realize that this takes…. maybe 30 seconds to do? But that 30…
Hi everyone, it would be helpful if we could share all our tool sets in one common place, so that anyone who needs them can easily access and use them.
Curious as to who is using a Stream Deck with Revu and how you are using it. I've seen some set ups, but I'm always curious as to how others are using things
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…
Is Bluebeam able to linearize a PDF for me, e.g. put the content in order so that web viewers can see it faster? On a related note, does uploading to Bluebeam Studio Session cause any PDFs to be linearized automatically? I have found https://university.bluebeam.com/how-to-reduce-file-size/1745236 and…
Qualcuno potrebbe cortesemente spiegarmi perchè quando salvo un nuovo set e poi lo apro, me lo da come aperto ma non fi visualizzare le tavole del disegno?
When marking up text documents I invariably find myself using Adobe Acrobat. Why? - Because it has a superior 'Comment' functionality, whereby when I highlight a section of text and create a 'Comment' the whole section of text that is the subject of the Comment is left highlighted. Very easy to see. Bluebeam has…
I've been looking quite closely at the workflow between Bluebeam's Markups List and Excel recently, particularly for people using Revu for takeoffs. One thing I kept coming across was people exporting the Markups List to CSV and then using Excel formulas, Power Query, macros or their own templates to turn that export into…
When setting up a Custom Column, is there a way to only include in totals of the PDF summary header?
Has anyone developed a practical method in Bluebeam Revu to calculate earthwork quantities from grid levels or contour drawings? I am looking for a workflow where the existing ground levels and proposed formation levels can be compared systematically, preferably using a grid-based approach, so that cut and fill depths can…

I have encountered a bug in the Studio with Bluebeam Cloud. When I open a set of drawings from Studio withing the Bluebeam Cloud app and check out the drawings or documents, I can't check them in after making an edit. The option to check in is not in the list and I have to go to my PC and undo the check out. Has anyone…
