We have callout tool set up with certain size of leader. Sometimes, I started with text box tool and need to add a leader later. The default leader size shows quite big. The font size is actually the same, just callout tool setting is 50% of the font size while the text box setting is auto. I can fix it. But I want to set…
I wish we had subcategories under Toolchest. I have made tools for every category of plumbing using the Norwegian standard for naming them. But I wish there were subcategories for that as well. There are a lot of tools to create. I have also made my own linestyle for every one of the pipe tools. It have been easier if I…
Is there an option or way to disable the feature that allows a double left click to prompt the area box that allows you to zoom?
What is the best method to track version history. What I am looking to accomplish is having a combined set of my submittals to a general contractor that when they respond with AAN or R&R I can add that to the combined set and make it the new version of that set. When I want to look at past versions I can toggle between the…
I'm testing out 21.9 at the moment and have come across something which I'm not sure if it is a fault for everyone or just on my computer. Basically, I'm trying to export some tables to Excel but no details are added to the newly created file. Is anyone else experiencing this???
The gear on the left side of the screen toolbar use to have all of my edit tools (color, font, line size, etc.…) Now it is just file attachments and file properties and the edit tool are across the top toolbar. What did I do to change it and how to I fix it?
What is the schedule for enabling Cloud to allow batch stamping and signing of pdfs along with digital signatures as is available in Revu on Windows? It would be most helpful to be able to access, stamp, and sign drawings on an ipad instead of carrying laptops.

I used to use the "paint can" fill option all the time when organizing my PDF's, and that icon disappeared a couple years ago. Did it get changed or modified? Is there an alternative that will do a similar task?
Is this a way to not have leaders attach to the top and bottom items like text, only to the left and right sides?

Please add folders within sessions for document organization. This will make navigating to the documents within a session cleaner and easier as documents within a session can add up and be cumbersome to have to search through to find what the user is trying to open. This feature would be greatly appreciated by all. Thank…
Hi all, my name is Aily, and I'm the Manager of Customer Education at Bluebeam - nice to meet you! I want to learn how you prefer to train, onboard, or up-skill your internal employees on everything Bluebeam, so I can make sure we're allocating the right resources to the right kinds of training (aka help me help you!). If…
On the Bluebeam website, under "Resources" > "Need an older version of Revu?" there is only v20 and older. This needs new options, like v21.6. Currently the need for this is high, because v21.7 has a highly annoying "new feature" while drawing polylines, areas and contour and area measurement. Something goes visually wrong…
I just installed version 21.4 this morning on a second work machine, and encountered the common problem of Print to Bluebeam being broken during install. I resolved the problem using the following steps (Windows 11, 64 bit). I have admin privileges, so make sure you can make such changes before starting. I can't guarantee…
While I wait for the influx of new members from the PHX/NorCal bug webinar I thought I'd ask about your experience with making custom hatches and line styles in Bluebeam (the topic of the webinar). There were some great examples of custom hatches and lines that made a lot of sense for those users. One was a civil office…
If you've ever had to place a symbol on a drawing more than three times, you've probably wondered, "I wish I didn't have to keep clicking on the symbol every time I want to place it." I have great news for you 😀 The Reuse Tools option keeps that tool selected for placing as many instances of a symbol as you need! There are…
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…
I should be able to post a link here and have it take you to a Bluebeam session and a specific file within it. http:// (session URL) / file I should be able to link to a markup even as well. Why isn't this in Bluebeam yet? It's so frustrating that we (in multiple workplaces I've been at) have to say "hey folks we posted…
I would like another option for locking that allows for a shapes dimensions to be locked, but still be able to move the shape / sketch around. An example of this would be a toggle for "dimension lock" where I could trace the outline of a building and rotate / move it around a site or property without accidentally changing…
I know that Bluebeam makes it difficult to select a markup that is under another markup—try selecting a markup four levels deep! BUT! I ran a demo today, and a 💡 went off in my head. Can I make a Keyboard Shortcut from the R21.2 Hide selected markup feature and use it to quickly hide obscuring markups to get to the markup…
