Would anyone else find a search feature for the "All Session" list to be useful? Or the ability to sort alphabetically? As the reviewer/signer for all drawing sets in a 25-person architecture group, my session list can get pretty long.
Most applications (including Notepad) have this ability to share the monitor's real-estate space when user hovers on the MAXIMIZE button, but not Bluebeam. Where is the Split-Screen option in Bluebeam. The only workaround is to use the Windows 11 feature when the application is dragged to the top of the monitor,, which is…
Hello. We use Calibri Light as a default font in documents. Often (yet, not always) when we go into the PDF to make a quick fix of a typo, the Calibri Light font is not supported (receive pop-up). However, within typewriter, etc., Calibri Light is a recognized font. What might be the reason that text editor doesn't…
Hi There, I have been working on some standard tools and stamps for my firm and I seem to be running into the limits of both tools and stamps. What I want is a tool/stamp (either is fine the functionality is what we need) that has some dynamic fields and some editable text that a user can double click into to edit. What I…
Bluebeam has a ton of cool tools and features but one that's confused me is the difference between Text Box and Typewriter. The Text Box tool is useful for placing text notes and comments on the PDF. Text is contained within a text box you define, including its size, background color, and other properties. The Typewriter…
I am running Bluebeam 21. I have it installed on Parallels for mac. I have been using this same setup for several years, but just got a new computer and am trying to set it up the same way. But when I click Sign In, the button just blinks. It doesn't let me actually sign in. The dialog box does not appear. Please help! BB…
I'm sure I'm missing something here, so anyone please help me. I make markups on civil plans that contain grids. Disabling or enabling the snap function seems to be a non functioning feature, as the measurement tool snaps to the nearest item, regardless of anything I've tried over the years. I'm tired of it. HELP. This is…
We really need A gradient fill option similar to other programs. We often have to go from Bluebeam to Powerpoint or photoshop to do make gradient fills. Nemetschek makes this software and Vectorkworks and VW has gradient fill take the API from there if it is a matter of adding it.

Hi, is there a way to add an oval shape callout in Bluebeam? In my industry, we often use oval callouts to identify equipment, but currently, only rectangle, circle, triangle, and hexagon options are available. It would be great to have an oval shape option or the ability to adjust the circle dimensions to create an oval.…
Now is a good time to "Revu" your progress on 2025 Bluebeam goals. Whether it be workflow review, tool improvements, or simply existing markup edits to align with the latest company standards we all could use a little reminder to look back and ahead in 2025! Feeling energized dialing back to the beginning of Q1 when I…
My issue is a question/idea but is it currently possible to save/reuse selected Page Regions made when creating new Thumbnail Page Labels or in Bookmarks. We use the Page Labels/Bookmarks 'Page Region' feature to extract out drawing title block information, but I have to redo the same region selections for each new package…
One part question one part idea for y'all today. My office uses studio session extensively to redline and coordinate with several different consultant teams at once. A PM will have to manage 2-7 Bluebeam sessions at once, one per project site. Our field reps will be in and out of 20-40 sessions per week. The firm standard…
I have a client that would like to use the functions and features found in the Prime Portal. Namely reactivating a finished Session. Is this in the org. admin. portal? If so how is it accessed? Thank you Vinnie Stamato
It would be a great help for me if locked objects were marked when clicked on, for example with a padlock, as it does in other programs.
Do you know of an integration between Bluebeam and Procore that allows Bluebeam to mark up plans and sync to Procore? Thank you Vinnie Seattle WA
Occasionally, during a session a user will not see the status options needed to set the state. The occurrence is not tied to a specific user or session. This issue has persisted for years, and I am still searching for a solution - aside from additional markings or highlights in the session markups. Anyone else experiencing…
We are trying to standardize user permissions by creating Groups in Bluebeam Studio. It seems to be that Groups are individual user based and I also had an issue where a user invited to a group on one project automatically got invited to another group when that same user group was added to that project. Anybody else use…
I have been trying to create a link between my Bluebeam markups and a corresponding Excel Document/Table. I was curious if there is a way or a JavaScript Code that would allow me to export my markups list and then Bluebeam will update that export when I save it after I have made changes to it. I have used power query in…
