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, How is everyone tackling creating their own electrical plans ie power and lighting? Are there any tips or tricks that you can share? Apart from what's already on the program are there any other symbols we can download? Thankyou, Michael
Hello all, I am the admin for our site and can login to any of the Bluebeam portals. However, after downloading and installing Revu21, upon launching it, when I try to login using the same credentials that work every time I login to any of the portals I get an error that the username may be incorrect. It says to make sure…
Hello, I'm having trouble importing data from Excel into my PDF. My objective is to take one row of data at a time from the Excel sheet, use it to populate the text boxes in Bluebeam, print the PDF, and then repeat this process automatically for each subsequent row. Do I need to create an FDF (Forms Data Format) file to…
I'm an electrical contractor and I am working with a general contractor who manages their projects on studio. I have a core subscription to bluebeam cloud. How do I get the studio project to open in the bluebeam android app. I don't need to make any changes(I'm not authorized to do that) just need to be able to view and…
Somehow I lost the First Page button on my Nav bar. How do I get it back? I know there are other ways to get to the first page, but I miss it.
I have not used projects for some time and have just discovered it has gone replaced with studio how can i recover my "old" projects
I make a lot of PDF forms and BB's feature to "automatically create form fields" is time saving, so long as I want it to Justify Left all form fields and set the text to Helvetica Font Size 9. I find I want the majority of my forms to be AUTO font size and I want them CENTERED. I can't seem to sort out how to edit my BB's…

Is anyone aware of a setting that will allow me to navigate between cells in the markups list with the directional arrows, tab key, or enter/return button on the keyboard similar to inputting data in excel? We sometimes use the Markups list to collect additional data from drawings and it can be slightly laborious when…

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…
