Suggestions for Enhancing Measurement Tools in Bluebeam – Insights from AutoCAD & Revit User
Hi Bluebeam Community, I’m an experienced AutoCAD and Revit user with over 10 years in the industry, and I’ve been using Bluebeam for the past 3 years. While Bluebeam has become an essential part of my workflow, I believe there are opportunities to further enhance its measurement tools by drawing inspiration from…

Capture Photos from iPad Camera and attach to Callout or other Markups
In Bluebeam Revu for iPad (which is slated to end soon) I would insert a markup comment (text) and then "attach" a captured photo (or image from a file). This has become very useful during construction site observations / punch walks. Once back in the office after adding several comments with attached photos, I would use…

Turn off Brown Help Box at top of screen when highlight feature is in use.
need a way to turn off this feature (brown help box) that lets you know the highlight is in use. toggling between different documents or screens, it moves every time you move documents. It is very distracting and moves your page.

Shape Recognition for auto placement of markup tools
I would like a scan option for shape recognition of a selected shape to place a selected markup tool on the shape within a set of drawings. Like Trimble LiveCount but better. I use Revu for estimating, for Revu to locate all of the duplex outlets and place a markup tool on the ones found would be nice! 😎

More callout options
This is something I used to be able to do in Microsoft Publisher that I feel would be useful in Bluebeam. Callouts that allow the option of different shapes, such as rounded edges or ovals. Also, if we could snap leaderlines or arrows to objects that associate with the object and move around with the object from the…

Markup replacement
My team uses a combination of markups (usually snapshot or group types) for takeoffs for multiple projects per day. Fairly often we will have to switch to a different manufacturer or solution midway through a takeoff or even after it's completed. These symbols usually represent ceiling or wall devices shown on scaled floor…

Offset Tool
Is there a way to build a tool that does offsets of polygons, lines, polylines, etc.? Not the multiply tool but take a square, for example, and offset/scale it smaller/larger by a specified distance.

Re-Open a List of files
I am opening a half-dozen or more files at a time that are Design manuals, Guidelines and Best Practice type of resources, for several DOT clients, one client at a time. I am not collaborating with other users for this effort. I don't need a Session. I would like to see a couple tools, one to Save a List of Files that are…

Stamps drop down
I use custom stamps regularly and find panning up and down in the dropdown to be annoying since the icon to pan up or down is so small and when my pointer goes past it the drop down disappears, then I need to find my stamp again..! Please fix..

Thumbnail Navigation
I just opened a 500-page pdf and navigated to page 83 using a bookmark. I need to manipulate the page, so I opened the Page Thumbnails palette, but for some reason, the thumbnails are somewhere around page 250. So I have to scroll in thumbnails to get to the page I need. Please add a "Go To Current Page" button in…

Add a trim polyline command
Add a command that will trim a polyline. Allow the user to click on a polyline markup control point, then click on the side to delete. All the control points on the selected side will be deleted in one command. It is painful to have to delete a lot of control points on a long poly line to shorten it, or have to redraw it.…

I am politely begging you to add the ability to center hatch pattern - tile drawings
I haven't found a good way to do tile drawings as I need the ability to control where patterns start and stop. See attached. I need the ability to start and end tiles based on the region I am drawing in, not on the page as a whole. Tile drawings could be so easy if you made this change. If anyone has any good way to do…

Autofill password
Autofill password is not allowed in popup for logging in. This means that one has to choose a memorable password that is more likely to be compromised by brute force attacks.

Add a button to re-enable the Title bar when hidden
The feature to hide the title bar of Bluebeam Revu (F9) doesn't seem to have any reference points in the menus or a button on the window interface. If a user accidentally activates this mode and doesn't realize that it was an otherwise unreferenced keyboard shortcut, it's difficult to troubleshoot locally. The Alt menus…
