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…
I'm one person with two computers, one at my office and laptop on the road. I'll bet I'm not the only one. I forgot to "sign off" of my single seat n Revu before I left, and now I'm screwed. Any ideas? I'm desperate to provide a much needed report.
Does anyone have any tips to make gigantic PDF's that have a lot of details, load faster? I have a takeoff I am doing on a 133MB stack of just architectural prints, and it is loading way too slow on some pages, because of the detail. I already have hardware rendering on and the typical BB settings enabled to make it…
When i try to edit the text by double clicking into the "Notes" column i created, an autofill box appears and i can't edit text. This is frustrating. Does anyone have an idea of how to fix this?
A number of drawings we receive from clients are watermarked and/or password protected as well but are not hyperlinked which slows everything down. When I create bookmarks and page labels using Automark, the watermark text that crosses the drawing title block is being picked up as well and in order to get Batch Link to…
I would like to know how I can set the scale precision to default to 1/8" instead of 1/4". I have searched but not been able to come up with an answer.
Good afternoon all. I'm in the concrete sales business and more so than not, yardages for such things as foundation, paving and curb and gutter are not available from the contractors. This led me to finding another solution. Revu 21 seemed to be what I needed to learn. If there is anyone in here that does concrete…
Does anyone know why I can suddenly no longer reorder pages in thumbnails? I'm hoping that someone has found a solution to this issue. Bluebeam support can't seem to address this question in a timely fashion due to an overload of tech support questions.
Has anyone had this problem, or know a solution for it? The "My Tools" section of the Tool Chest has disappeared from my screen entirely, and it's not shown as hidden. As a result, I cannot use the numbered hotkeys for tools anymore. I have signed out of my account, restarted my computer, and reinstalled Bluebeam, but…
I have a profile that I have exported. When I try to import it to another computer, the file loads, but not the profiles. I've tried deleting the other profiles (although they keep appearing again even though they have been deleted). And just importing this profile. The profile works on my computer but when I try to upload…

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 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 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…
