About 4/5ths of the way through the 21.8 MSI installation, a Custom Action named Call_LaunchShellExplorer is trying to open a .bat in such a way that Windows is prompting the user to select which program to use to open it. For now, we have simply added a transform to prevent that CA from executing. Has anyone else seen…
Recently, when drawing lines, polylines, the linework on screen is extremely thick. Does not match the default line thickness, just really thick, rasterized lines. Then when the command/lines is finished, the line changes down to the correct line width. Is there a setting to fix this glitch?
Hello all, I've been searching around trying to figure out if this was possible but have had no success. I'm wondering if it's possible to take 2 or more exhibits and combine them along the matchlines 'WITHOUT' snapshot. Snapshot essentially turns it into an image. My intent is to retain the attributes of the original .pdf…
I spend a lot of time working around this behavior where overwriting highlighted text adopts the formatting of the character space before instead of the actual highlighted text. In the example below, I would like to update a portion of underlined text by highlighting the partial string, start typing the new text, and for…
this change from Bluebeam for iPad to Bluebeam cloud just made the program useless. When we are in the field, attaching a photo to a markup was 80% of the point, so when exporting a summary, the photo would be with the callout. How is this most-used feature gone? I am just now finding this out at 1am and have to travel in…
I have installed Bluebeam on a new laptop. Trying to read pdf files is not happening. Thumbnails show up but main window is either gibberish or blank. Have shutdown and then restarted and deinstalled and reinstalled to no effect. Repeated attempts to access Bluebeam result in laptop freezing and need to hard shutdown to…
Hi all, I have many tools showing as disabled & can't do my take offs. This includeds my tools in my tool chests. Any suggestions before I cry?
The rectangle function will allow a colored fill to be used, as will the ellipse function. Is there a way to "fill" an area that is defined by a polyline?
I've created a dynamic fill of an area on a PDF, and am unable to delete it; even using the Dynamic Fill option to "Clear All", "Clear Fill". How can I delete/erase this dynamic fill?
When I add digital signatures, the window doesn't close after I'm done. It doesn't freeze. I cannot change locations on the document. It will stay open and let me repeat the exact process but never closes. I have to go to Task Manager and close Revu. Any thoughts? Thanks,

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 have used BlueBeam Revu to create piping isometric drawings. However, this process takes a very long time and is painstaking because currently Revu only allows you to snap to 45° or 90°. If there was an option to turn on snapping to 15° increments, it would allow for much cleaner and faster creation/marking up of piping…
