Try this on…

I stopped fooling around with print settings and inserted a blank ARCH D sheet - 24x36.

Then, cut and pasted the markups to the new sheet

Then, inserted the drawing (11x17) on the new sheet as a snapshot, using the scale calibration mark to locate it.

Now, the print preview of the ARCH D sheet looks like what you need to print document and markups at scale.

The catch is that the snapshot of your original drawing loses some snap functionality.

Why are you using 'Adobe PDF' to drive prints out of Bluebeam?

Have you tried different setting for the page scaling? Currently set to "Reduce to Paper". Try "None."

I agree you do not want to mess up the scaling. What I was thinking in my previous post was setting up a larger sheet size than the one you are marking up.

If you are working with a 24x36 sheet size:

• draw a 48x72 rectangle at the sheet scale
• set the markup drawing roughly in the center of that
• make/add a 48x72 sheet size in print set up - like @Shaya Birnbaum illustrated in his post - changing the media size.
• test it

If you do all that, I am thinking that will trick out the print driver to show all you want at the scales of the original sheet. Looking at the last print menu screenshot above, it looks like there is still something set as confining the print window within the markup drawing size. I think it is the sheet size.

Start with using Bluebeam PDF for your printer, though.

Thank you for the reply! This looked promising for sure!

I still am not getting the ability to print both at the same time

When I make the document settings changes - printing issues remain and the settings do not grab any of the area outside the document

Dwg 1 Markups show up and I think I can get them all to show by playing with the settings

Dwg 2 Document shows

Dwg 3 Markups and Documents - Markups cut off

Dwg 4 - screen shot of what I am trying to print

What I want to print

This is just a long shot, but what save mode are you using? I would have to look into each option, but I wonder if one/some of those would hide markups?

I agree, to do what you are asking you have to have multiple instances of BB open for each file. It would be nice for those to be accessible on each window. The other option would be to provide a floating option for both tools and menu items. This would be the similar to the way they can detach in AutoDesk.

Not really. If you open another instance of Bluebeam, you can have each document working in its own environment, and that would give toolbars for each "window". The problem is you can't really transfer things between the two instances.

Hi Dustin!

Our first tool set feature will allow you to sync tool sets created in Revu or Web directly to the mobile app. This will be available by the end of the year in iOS, so you can manage your tools from your desk and access them on the go—no manual setup needed on mobile.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Best,

Hi Chris,

Bluebeam Studio does a great job of this… there are great Youtube Videos to show you how… but this is how our Project Team shares Drawings. If anything is updated you receive an email notification.

It can be a little annoying if there are constant email notifications… and you're trying to find where Waldo is hiding in terms of the change to the Drawing.

Do you have the Dim Filtered Markups option checked in your print options? If filter the markups list using the layer column and select that option, does that do what you need?
