The easiest and quickest way to add a Profile to Bluebeam Revu

George Othitis

Did you know that double-clicking a Bluebeam Revu Profile (.bpx file) automatically opens Revu and imports the profile for you?

This is the quickest and easiest way to have a User import a Profile. It is a very low impact for our non-technical friends and co-workers. 😅

It is much better than explaining how to click the upper left Revu button, hover over Profiles, click Manage Profiles, click Import, and then browse to the file location.

This is also a great way to push out company standards, or if you are working with a consultant who wants you to follow their QC standards.

Fun fact: If you are unfamiliar with Profiles, I HIGHLY recommend them. You can create custom Tool Sets (.btx files) along with Custom Symbols and Stamps to distribute to everyone in your company. This helps ensure everyone uses the same tools and procedures and can streamline training in your company.

My background is in CAD Management, in case you couldn't tell 😂

I found when I imported a profile it overwrote the existing profiles - and now I don't seem to be able to recover the overwritten profiles.

I'd like to push out a new profile to the staff members in our organisation, but don't want them to lose their existing profiles.

Any ideas on a work round will be be gratefully received.

@Stu could you name the profile by date?

eg Office Standard 2025-01 for Jan, 2025

This way users can quickly see if they have the latest profile or not.
