Hi all, I wanted to ask if it were possible to create custom measurement tools in Bluebeam? specifically a tool that would measure the area and the percentage of an object within a circle? I have drawn a quick diagram which I hope explains what I mean. But from the diagram a tool that will tell me what percentage of the…
I am trying to search my document for some text items however I get 0 results found when searching for anything. This issue is only present on my current page. Please see below for an example. This search returned 0 results even though F3 is located on the page. Anyone have an idea why this may be happening?
Hello, i flattened some new markups over the old ones however when I search with CTRL + F the older items still hit. How can I make sure these older markups are removed? I cannot delete them since theyre also flattened. See below for examples. Used the image search to find AE yet this is what is shown in the actual search.…
I am trying to edit a comment made on a markup but I am unable to change anything. The markup is not locked. In the attached images are the 3 methods Ive tried.
I am encountering an odd condition. When placing a text box or call-out text box, the orientation is 90 degrees from horizontal. After entering the text, I have to rotate and size the box. I tried rotating the PDF to see if the original orientation of the document mattered, but it did not. Settings, software glitch? Please…
Currently Bluebeam is automatically selecting the printer last used. Is there a way to select a default printer, which would be automatically selected each time I print?
Help? I review many documents daily and often shop drawings come in with the signatures on them. Usually, I just click I don't want to see the signature data and move along, but one day I accidentally clicked on the "save this choice" or however it is worded and now I can't figure out how to turn this feature back on! I…

Presently i have a spreadsheet in excel that i have mail merged to a word document to make a pdf which spits out a specific text format (Blue text of a specific size…
How do I import my Notary Seal and add it to my stamps? I scanned the seal and uploaded it to Blue Beam using the create stamp tool. When I use it, it stamps a whole 8.5" x 11" page. I just want the seal.
Hey Beamers. Friday, I made a presentation to our Principals and Sr. Associates about how we can use Bluebeam Sets to track our revisions and supplementary sketches once the Construction Administration phase (CA) starts. I thought it was a warm reception. We are moving forward toward presenting this to the firm PMs. Do any…

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…
