I'm trying to create a form that requires both signatures and initials. However, I can't seem to find a way to format the field for just initials. Is there a better way to do this other than using a text box?
I'd like to see a tool where you can magnify part of document/drawing/detail/etc via callout or simple shape on a drawing. See video below for SolidWorks and Apple Photos examples. Option 1 How to add Magnifying Glass or Details view in SolidWorks Drawings Option 2 iPhone 14/14 Pro Max: How to Zoom In or Magnify Part Of A…
I think it would be useful to have a tool to mark several/all pages in a PDF with a watermark. In my specific case, I'm trying to note that a specification in a project manual still needs updates, but to do so in a manner that looks polished and professional. If a tool like this already exists, it would be useful if it…
I'm quickly trying to help an engineer with an SOW to go to client but my Word settings are not coming through when I convert to Bluebeam pdf. Is there a way to show revision lines but hide text markups?
Hello, I am looking for an "Instrument Air" line type.
The copy paste function is no longer working as it did. I can't copy a page from one doc to another. Also, can't copy/paste items in the documents
Has anyone here had issues when dupe/revising a custom profile with custom statuses? I inherited some customized profiles which I still use but whenever I have tried to update them (i.e., add or rename a status), it doesn't work. I save it as under a different name but it basically reverts back to the original. I feel like…
Hello, I am relatively new to Bluebeam and I am setting up custom tool chests by division, for take offs. I am only a couple divisions in and I am having issues with freezing/lagging if I open more than one tool chest at a time. In fact this is my second time doing these as the first time it caused my program to crash and…
Has anyone else had the issue of Custom Columns saved to the profile not being applied to drawings? Lately I've had to make sure that they've been applied by applying them manually. Seems to be since the 21.6 upgrade
Has anyone else noticed a bit of a lag when changing your tool from Drawing Mode to Properties Mode? It seems to be a thing from 21.6.

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…
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…
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 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…
Would it be possible to create an additional option under "Manage Toolsets" to edit the columns in the Tool Chest? Such as renaming or disabling which ones are not used. And that the columns are also extended as soon as they are extended to the right and do not become narrower again
