Is there any work-around to no keyboard shortcut for exporting a page region to Excel? I have made several (unsuccessful) attempts to figure out a way to pin this function to a toolbar, but this does not seem possible either. Is there a feature that I don't know about that will allow me to simply add this shortcut, or add…
Feel like I'm losing my mind. but I save my custom column to profile but every time I bring in a new PDF it removes it. What can be causing this. I have saved my profile and custom multiple times a day
The Microsoft trend is to have scroll bars become narrow or invisible when you're not hovered over them, but that removes valuable "place" info and makes it harder to click onto the bar to drag it, and the space freed up by the missing scroll bar isn't used for additional viewing real estate - it's just wasted space that…
For no known reason my BB has become excruciatingly slow. It makes no difference as to what file I open, if it has text only, vector line, images, if it is a single page or many, the program is now so slow that it takes 30+ seconds just to display the file's first page upon opening it. A click to change pages on a 3 page…
After reading the latest developments and seeing the name change from "Bluebeam Cloud" to "Bluebeam on web and mobile" I went to my Android tablet to see if I could use Bluebeam there, but, after starting the browser and typing in "app.bluebeam.de" and logging in, the landing page tells me to "Access Bluebeam from the…
Anyone else having this problem? I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times. Had IT clean up my files yesterday, but the problem has returned today.
I have a set of plans w mutiple pages. the person who created the plans did not have it set up to link the details to the sheet the detail is on. the details symbols look like that which i attached. I have tried to follow the BB instructions, watch videos, read google questions all to no avail. Some info out there…
I may be missing something but with this new update. for some reason or other I cannot keep my custom columns for every PDF. I have to continually input them in.
This morning, I created a set and I have my set setting in the photo, but my markups are not transferring to the revised sheets. How do I get the set to reprocess?
Prior to Bluebeam 21.7, I could press the <Control> key to have the program avoid snapping to objects. If I do that with version 21.7, it negates any drag-and-drop style of creating a polygon. If I have both <control> and <shift> pressed, it also leaves annoying line extensions toward wherever my mouse was when clicked,…

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…
