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…
Is there a way to justify a large text block? I only see the option to align left, center, or right, no full justify.
If Bluebeam thought moving away from Bluebeam Revu for iPad in favor of Bluebeam Cloud was a good move… they have some explaining to do. I have been trying to get Bluebeam Cloud work for my team and so far it is glitchy, slow, cumbersome, and it is missing 90% of what made Bluebeam Revu so good. I can't measure things in…
I have encountered a bug in the Studio with Bluebeam Cloud. When I open a set of drawings from Studio withing the Bluebeam Cloud app and check out the drawings or documents, I can't check them in after making an edit. The option to check in is not in the list and I have to go to my PC and undo the check out. Has anyone…
After my laptop was replaced and I reinstalled all engineering apps, including Bluebeam. However, the Projectwise plug in is completely missing. Of course, not having plug in, I can't configure my datasources. All I have is sharepoint as document management system in preferences which is totally useless for me as for many…
log in I am really tired of having to log into Bluebeam every time I open it. Please figure out another way. This is the only application on our PCs that require this.
Just started happening after I had to do a preferences reset. Each time I open a existing pdf file on my companies server, I get the error that the file is locked by another user. I know that it is not, so I click retry, and it opens just fine. Happens again even after closing the file and then attempting to open it again.…

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…
