I have BluBeam Revu 21(21.2.0.1883) deployed on many machines virtual and physical. For some reason the eye dropper tool will not work on any of the machines. I have gone through the article related to security and color modes but cannot come up with a solution. They eyedropper will not work even on a blank document where…

Can the format painter be used across pages when in View Continuous Pages mode? For example I have a legend that is formatted with Blue Gridlines on page 3, and I can see both legends because I am in continuous view. But I cannot apply the properties to the legend on Page 4, even though they are on screen simultaneously.
I am having a problem with our one computer that is in our main conference room for presentations, collaboration etc.. It gets stuck when trying to logon for a new user for BlueBeam.

After 7 days of inactivity? Ok I get there is maybe a security reason because we're all stuck on cloud but this is getting very irritating, especially when I'm busy just trying to complete a quick task with a program I already paid for. Instead of getting work done, I have to dig up passwords.
The drawing is scaled properly, and when utilizing the lineal dimension tool, the lineal dimension is correct. When using the perimeter tool, it calculates the length twice as long as the lineal dimension. Please advise.
Happy Friday everyone.. One thing that has always kept me tossing and turning in bed is…. the display order of the Markups List.. Now don't get me wrong, i do enjoy a good manual reordering of the columns just like anyone else.. But, is there a magic button somewhere in Preferences or something to show them in Alphabetial…
In the past, the cloud had the option for a little punchlist dot icon that I could place on the plan, and attach a photo and notes to that icon. With the new updates, that icon is no longer there, and I have to place images directly on the plan, which is not ideal. Especially in tight spaces with several markups, there is…

Hi, is there a way to add an oval shape callout in Bluebeam? In my industry, we often use oval callouts to identify equipment, but currently, only rectangle, circle, triangle, and hexagon options are available. It would be great to have an oval shape option or the ability to adjust the circle dimensions to create an oval.…
My issue is a question/idea but is it currently possible to save/reuse selected Page Regions made when creating new Thumbnail Page Labels or in Bookmarks. We use the Page Labels/Bookmarks 'Page Region' feature to extract out drawing title block information, but I have to redo the same region selections for each new package…
One part question one part idea for y'all today. My office uses studio session extensively to redline and coordinate with several different consultant teams at once. A PM will have to manage 2-7 Bluebeam sessions at once, one per project site. Our field reps will be in and out of 20-40 sessions per week. The firm standard…
I have a client that would like to use the functions and features found in the Prime Portal. Namely reactivating a finished Session. Is this in the org. admin. portal? If so how is it accessed? Thank you Vinnie Stamato
It would be a great help for me if locked objects were marked when clicked on, for example with a padlock, as it does in other programs.
Do you know of an integration between Bluebeam and Procore that allows Bluebeam to mark up plans and sync to Procore? Thank you Vinnie Seattle WA
Occasionally, during a session a user will not see the status options needed to set the state. The occurrence is not tied to a specific user or session. This issue has persisted for years, and I am still searching for a solution - aside from additional markings or highlights in the session markups. Anyone else experiencing…
Our work laptops were running two different versions of Bluebeam, and in both of those versions, we were unable to use the Microsoft Office add-ins. We keep hearing that there is a problem with Bluebeam, and I am curious whether anyone else is having the same problem. I'm interested in learning if the problem is a…
Hi all! I'm searching for a way to password protect a set of markups on a pdf without disabling the ability for other users to add new markups without the password. A working example would be one user, a drawing checker in this case, would go through the pdf creating markups. When they're complete, they lock the file so…
I have been trying to create a link between my Bluebeam markups and a corresponding Excel Document/Table. I was curious if there is a way or a JavaScript Code that would allow me to export my markups list and then Bluebeam will update that export when I save it after I have made changes to it. I have used power query in…
