Rotating Text Box Form Fields
I frequently use Text Box Form Fields populated through FDF imports. In some cases, angled text is required, but Text Box Form Fields cannot currently be rotated to arbitrary angles. The only workaround is to copy the text from each form field into a standard text box and rotate it, which eliminates the ability to populate…
Bidirectional Excel/CSV Integration – Import & Update Markup Metadata
Hi Bluebeam Team, I am writing to suggest a feature that would significantly enhance the workflow for users handling large-scale projects: the ability to import markup data from Excel/CSV back into Bluebeam to update existing properties. Currently, in my industry, we use Bluebeam to assign unique IDs and metadata to…
BlueBeam Studio Session Folders
Within the All Sessions tab of BlueBeam studio, I would benefit greatly from more organizational tools whether it be folders, archiving sessions, or otherwise! Then I could make things as needing to review, reviewed, archived, etc.
Camera viewpoint tool
The ability to insert an image from a file, camera, or scanner is valuable, but an even more powerful feature would be the ability to have something like an "add a viewpoint" tool. This would be an icon like a little camera with rays coming out of it to indicate the location that a view was taken (similar to the add camera…
File Character Limit increased
Increaseing the File Character Limit from 260 Characters to 400 or more to match that of Microsoft and other programs. I am able to use Adobe and Foxit to open my files with no issue but unable to in Bluebeam due to the Character limitation.
Live Snapshots
I am looking to add a feature that enables you to have a "viewport" similar to CAD from another separate file. I think this feature would enable people in the field to build PDFs that enable us to create a custom build file that has all the drawings stitched together and they will update as Project Managers/Engineers…
Adjust the length of the lines at the end of a length measurement
Is it possible to adjust the length of the lines at the end of a length measurement? I think this was possible in previous versions, but I can't find it anymore. See also the images below.
The ability to circuit up electrical (or other) entities
We have the need to be able to select counted items from the drawing area and to be able to dynamically represent the count and detail in the markup list which will result in a circuited layouts within a set of parameters. Similar to a polyline count instead of the current method which we use which revolves around drawing…
Crcuiting within software
We have the need
"Do Not Allow Unlocking" Feature
While you can lock markups, anyone else can unlock and edit them. You could flatten the markups, but then they disappear from the Markups List, which makes it difficult to pinpoint every change to the file that was made. It would be great if there was a type of locking permission (similar to the "do not allow unflatten…
Studio Permissions
It would be a game changer to add permissions to Studio users to allow editing of other user markups. People's minds would explode with delight if this seemingly simple feature was added. Effort to implement: Low Impact: High Result: Awesome new collaboration capability
Ability to show data from custom columns in "show caption" in the drawing
I would like the ability to add custom columns in "show caption" For example, being able to show the weight of the wall in the image below, so we can see whether the crane can lift it.
Lock Tool chest for inside users
As a group leader and inventor of several specialized and internal tools in the toolbox for Bluebeam users within the company, I would like to have the ability to lock certain toolboxes in order to prevent users from changing their settings, and this to maintain uniformity on certain annotations. Just for some tools, not…
Shape Types - better Construction Documentation Redlines and Endless Easy potential diagramming
Rather than a Fillet command to achieve rounded corners for detail enlargements, maybe there is a way to have ShapeTypes? - Enlargement Rectangle with editable radii, or even sketchy shape like architecture hand sketchy style A perfect example of this diagraming potential is PowerPoint where there is a huge menu of…
Batch Paste "Spaces"
It would be very useful to be able to copy a "space" to multiple sheets at once. Apply to pages type of action.

Popular Suggestions

Edit/Unlock markups in Studio Sessions
Please add the ability to allow some users to edit/delete other peoples comments. This can be controlled through permissions. At our organisation when reviewing drawings there is a review manager that consolidates comments before sending them back. This process occurs regardless of if we are using Bluebeam or another tool.…
Add Folders for Studio Sessions!
Add folders for studio sessions to organize the list of recent Studio sessions. Some of our clients utilize one Studio session per deliverable on large projects that have multiple reviewers. It can be quite a task to find the one studio session for a smaller project amidst the rows and rows of studio sessions per…
Bullet points & Indent text
With more people using bluebeam as a CAD/drawing program. It would be nice if bullet points/numbers points with auto text indent was a feature.
Auto Save
It would be helpful to have an autosave function for PDFs being used in Revu. Currently this does not exist and would be very beneficial.
Numbered Lists and Bulleted List
This has been requested many many times in the past by many Revu users. WHY is there STILL no numbered/bulleted list function??
Editable Table
I'd like to create/insert a table into Bluebeam Revu that I can edit like any other markup.
Grouping Tabs for Open PDFs
Request is for the ability to group open PDFs into tabs, similar to the way that Microsoft Edge allows for web pages to be grouped together into tabs (Edge allows you to take a number of open websites and add them to a named / color-coded group tab. This allows for multiple websites to be open, but organized into group…
Feature Request: Add "Crop" Functionality to Snapshot Markups
Hi Bluebeam Team, I am writing to suggest a feature update that would significantly improve the workflow efficiency for users who rely on the Snapshot tool (G). Current Issue: Currently, if a user takes a snapshot and realizes there is excess content or "clutter" around the edges, they must delete the snapshot and re-take…
Keyboard Shortcuts for Assigning Statuses
It would be a huge time saver to have keyboard shortcuts for assigning markup statuses. Numerous workflows (e.g. QA/QC and design reviews, punch/back-check) involve multiple status changes for markups, and often times there are multiple statuses (or state models) to choose from. On large projects, with 100's if not 1,000's…
Please allow one-click download all files in a Studio Session
Hi. It would be very helpful to have a Bluebeam Revu (we use 20 at my company) functionality to be able to download all of the files within a Studio Session with one or two clicks as opposed to having to download all files individually. This would save time, especially for Sessions with a large number of files (100+ is…
