We have one user reporting: happening for a while (several months), typically every so often, but more 1-2x/week now: BlueBeam “locks” up for about a minute…it eventually “resets” and is usable again. I haven’t found anything that seems to set it into non-motion. It stops me from reviewing so just wanted to give you a…
Hi, Im locked out of my account. Could you please reinstate my account as we have made payment and I have been on hold on the phone for an hour today and 30 minutes yesterday to no answer and i can't get through to you via email. Thanks,
Error when clipping polygons. Original control points (vertices) that lie outside the clipping extent either disappear or are displaced. Does anyone experience this?
I crossed out a text, however, I need to remove that cross out line (not the text). Could someone let me know how to remove the strikethrough?
I'm having all sorts of trouble keeping my toolchests locked. Ever since the patch on Friday the 6th, whenever I use my toolchest it gives me a pop-up asking if another toolchest should be locked. I've not touched the other toolchest so i dont know why it keeps asking me to keep them locked. To be sure, I review my library…
I believe the crosshair color customization needs to be restored. I relied on this feature for a long time, and in the newer version it appears that I’m no longer able to change it. This change significantly affects my workflow.

I've customized the callout tool for weld mapping (O&G fabrication). I have the line, endpoint, and text box shape as I like them. My problem is, when used in drawing mode, my pre-populated text and text box size is exactly how I want it but the line endpoint and associated lines are locked in place (not ideal). If I use…
How do I select multiple mark-ups and copy them to all sheets in the PDF?
Help! I need to open AutoCAD files and can't find the basic instructions to find and install the plugin that will enable me to open, mark up, and save native dwg format files into a new pdf markup. I opened 'Administrator' but can't find the option to install a new plugin to Bluebeam. I only have Excel and Word plugins,…

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…
