Hi everyone, We’re currently using Intune-managed iPads for our Engineers, locked down as “Bluebeam iPads.” This setup works well for us, but with the recent announcement that Revu is being discontinued, we’re concerned about functionality moving forward. One of the key requirements for us is the ability to print PDFs on…
Hello everyone, I work in the telecommunications field and frequently provide plan markups for various roadway projects. These plans often come in a wide range of scales—from 1" = 20' to 1" = 100'. I’m wondering if there’s a way to copy markups from a plan with one scale (e.g., 1" = 40') and paste them into another plan…
My team primarily uses custom objects for their take offs, we've set up tool boxes with all of our common size options. What we run into is when doing a large take off layout the objects handles will fully overlap other objects and make to where we cannot select objects and delete or manipulate them, or we'll grab an…
My subscription has been renewed, and my bank account debited for full amount, but I am unable to use Bluebeam. When I open it will not allow me to do anything except click on my account name, and it shows it as "Expired" and Plan "Unassigned". I submitted a ticket two days ago, and have heard NOTHING! I am dead in the…
The last couple of weeks I have had a problem. When I click on a Session it starts to load it and then kicks me out of the Session and gives me this exact same message: After I select OK I can re-enter the Session I was trying to review without an issue. This happens every time I enter a Session that I was not in recently…
Since upgrading to 21.6.1, it seems I have to rearrange order of the tabs on each BB OPEN. I commonly start with about half a dozen tabs open for a couple of most active projects. I like to have them in order of Project 1 Specs, Project 1 CA Set, Project 1 Revisions, Project 2 Specs, Project 2 CA Set, Project 2 Revisions.…
When selecting text in Bluebeam Revu the cursor often behaves erratically and jumps around the page, highlighting areas that I don't want highlighted. How can I precisely select only the text I want to highlight?
Has anyone else ran into the error when trying to install/ update Bluebeam 21" Package Bluebeam Revu x64 Error: Error 1714. The older version of Bluebeam Revu x64 21 cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group." I've tried the following without any success: Bluebeam Clean Up Utility, various Registry and…
I'm trying to load a document with fillable form fields into a Bluebeam Studio session so that when attendees join the session, they can complete their portions of the form. However, when I add the document to the Studio session, all the form fields lock and cannot be filled. How can I make the fields fillable?
Our company currently has a multi-step process for hyperlinking our production unit drawings to our shop drawing details and then unit drawings to our part drawings. Firstly, we open the unit drawings and detail sheets, set up batch link, which requires a linking option setup with "open files" and link settings to be whole…

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…
