I've recently purchased the Tourbox and love using it for all my Adobe editing programs. It also lets you create custom commands for other programs. I have been assigning shortcuts for Bluebeam to it and like with the Adobe products it saves me time. One of my holy grails would be to assign a shortcut to the rotation of a…
When I have Revu running and need to open a pdf, by clicking the name in file explorer, sometimes Bluebeam decide to open another instance instead of opening in the one I have it open. It is annoying and any fix to this? When changed a markup status, is there a way to figure out what was the original color of this markup?…
I've done OCR and run batch hyperlinks. It works pretty well. However, the callouts all through the plans that are referenced on the bill of materials page are never recognized. Why is that? I've even tried doing an image search while in the BOM to find where that callout is in the plans, but I never get a good result. Is…
Sometimes right click will drop it, but most times I must select a new tool before escape will work. and no, my reuse markup tool is not engaged when this happens.
I have checked the shortcut list and it is there, but when I click alt+z nothing happens. My other shortcuts work. Has this happened to anyone else?
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…
Wondering if anyone has found a way to easily modify the scaled dimensions of a Sketch To Scale Rectangle? Currently the width & height properties do not seem to be editable. We use the S2S Rectangle tool to represent individual facade panels for estimating purposes. There is a workaround that involves dividing the Sketch…
Good morning, I'd like to be able to close Bluebeam at the end of the day or when I shut down my PC and then open it back up without opening all of the pervious documents I had open. Is there a way to change this in settings? thanks in advance -Ryan G
Mac user here that can no longer access Studio from the client (1.93). I've been using Bluebeam Web a bit, and am wondering if there is a way to import custom stamps into a web session?
Hi, I would like to know if there is any way to close BB sessions made by other user inside my compagny ? By default, when creating session, the permission of session are very limited and closing is possible only by the person who create the session. Thus, is that person quit the company, it should be a way, by the…

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…
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…
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 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…
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
When moving a PDF file from the main BlueBeam application to another window (or second monitor), it creates a new Bluebeam tab. I would like to see it create a new separate application on my computer that I can pull up and down, as needed. Currently, if I click away on Bluebeam (with multiple tabs open on multiple…
