I have printed a set of plans that has over a hundred sheets and then I batched signed them. After signing them I realized one of the sheets did not print correctly so instead of reprinting the entire set again, or clearing the signatures one by one, I want to clear all my signatures with one quick command so I can swap…
I am working on a large submittal package that I need to swap out groups of pages with updates. No matter how I try, it is frustratingly slow as in up to 10 minutes. My current process is to delete the old files and drag the new ones over. Does anyone have suggestions?
I have a black PDF piping diagram and want to colour all the different types of pipes. Eg potable water = Blue, RO water = red, Sewer = green. How do I do this please.
We use a "perimeter" measurement for calculating the total length of saw cuts in a concrete slab. Depending upon the size of the building there may be 40 or more of them. Tada, the Architect updates the drawing and the new drawing has to be marked up. I am able to copy and paste one measurement at a time. Is there a way to…
I am not a pro bluebeamer. Appreciate the help. As you can see above, I want to know if there is a way to extend the horizontal/vertical lines to the angled line all at once rather than clicking and extending one at a time. I use the multiply option to equally space the lines, then I have to individually extend them to the…
First I have to say that support is god awful. 3 days since I sent an email for support and nothing. 2 days ago I sent sales a question. Nothing. on the phone holding for 40 minutes. Then it disconnected me. On right now for almost an hour. Nothing. Anyway, can someone tell me when renewing Revu its gone from Maintenance…
Hello, I want to be able to export the information from a legend easily to Excel. I know you can export all the markups and work from there, but the legend has everything nicely summarized and I would like to manipulate the info more in Excel. I tried the File > Export > Excel Workbook > Page Region … but it clumps it into…
I've been trying to find a way to translate Counts to markups. I suggested it as an Idea in the Community, but has either gotten ignored or assumingly there may be already a way to do this. To get a better understanding on why I'm trying to chase the following: I work as a Project Engineering for an Electrical…
I have my scaling precision set to 1, however I noticed that in the legend the totals are not adding up correctly. It seems like Bluebeam is adding the actual "precise" measurements regardless of what is displayed, and the precision setting being set to 1, and then rounding up that new total (See attached screenshot, total…
Hi, the problem that I'm experiencing is that when creating a tool from a number of grouped elements, means that the scale that the icon is too small and the icon is not really clear enough. Is there a way of replacing the icon with either a scaled up portion of the original image or being able to provide an alternative…

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…
