How do I share a Custom Toolbox with other users who use the same login but operate from a separate desktop?

    Click the gear icon next to your toolbox then select Export.

    Save the .btx file

    Send the .btx file to other users.

    They then just need to double-click the file to have it installed in their Bluebeam.

    Thanks Carina

    When the file is exported it does not hold the scale - is there anyway that this can be set and hold when sharing?

    I believe tool scale is dependent on the sheet where the tools are being used. Have you tried using the exported custom tool box on a sheet where the scale was set , @APS ?

    Another thing to note with your toolbox is that when you save a markup to it, it keeps the scale you created the markup. So, if you built the markup in a 1/4" = 1'-0" scale, by default it will be placed at that scale.

    However, you can use the "Set Scale" to change the scale of your markups to better reflect the drawing.

    Hopefully that helps!
