A coworker just asked how to go full-screen on a PDF, and I showed him the "full screen and Presentation options. One issue that came up was that the shortcut for Presentation (ctrl+Enter) didn't work. Any ideas why?
I have a toolbox that is organized numerically by the markups label. Lately I have been having an issue where I will click on a markup and in addition to selecting it, it gets moved elsewhere within that same toolbox, sometimes by just a few spots, sometimes all the way to the top. This toolbox has many markups in it, and…
Hi folks, This question came in from a sales associate. Has anyone found a way for Bluebeam v 21 to sign the user when the desktop app is closed? It's not a native capability according to Bluebeam Support website but it kind of sounds like a script can be created for this. Thank you for looking. Vinnie
When trying to look at pdf previews in file explorer all I get is "No preview available". It appears as though the Bluebeam preview handler has been wiped out of the system. Is there a way to fix this? The feature worked as normal last week. I had Revu as well as Adobe on my computer and I noticed as of this week the…
I have some custom tool sets that recently have been showing these small numerical boxes. See attached. Not sure how they showed or how to get rid of them. Please help
I am really tired of having to log into Bluebeam every time I open it. Please figure out another way. This is the only application on our PCs that require this.
My expectation is that having the ability to create a legend within a Bluebeam session would be very useful for the project. I hope the Bluebeam R&D team considers including this feature in a future update
Could someone guide me on how to initiate and complete a Secondary Steel (For an Example: Bent Plate, Angles, CMU Wall Supports, Sill Angle….) project using Bluebeam? A video tutorial would be preferable for better understanding.
Hello, I've read a few forums on here with the same issue. I'm using an M3 MacBook pro with parallels and windows 11 installed. When I open Revu 21 the sign in screen is blank but I some of the buttons work, seems like they are just invisible. I was able to sign in by guessing where the text box is and the sign in button,…
One of my co-workers cannot get the sign in button to work at all, flashes for a second then goes back to "Sign in". Tried switching / resetting profiles, restarting. Really trying to avoid re-install.
It looks like you're new here. Sign in or register to get started.
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 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
