Is there a way to identify which PDF files have a BB markup in a folder? I have approx 200 drawings in one folder to assess, some need to be 'Backcad' & upreved, most dont. Cheers
Hi, can anyone tell me what is the maximum amount of "Quantity Links" they have managed to their excel spreadsheet. I am an estimator of internal walls and linings including carpentry for mainly highrise residential buildings. (User of Bluebeam over 10yrs) My scenario is I have a typical "Toolchest" with 165 items (wall,…
I can create multiple legend types. For example, if I'm doing takeoffs on a multi page document, I can create a legend that adds up my takeoffs/tool counts for each page (source = current). However, if I were to create a legend on say the cover page that adds up all the pages (source = all), the other legends on all the…
Can Someone explain these Red Clouds to me? Why do the Come up and what is the issue? Thank you
Question for the community - How do you use Layers in your workflow? Layers has come up in several topics recently and I thought it would be a good idea to learn how and why some people use them so those of us who don't could better understand how they might benefit us in our daily life. So… How do you use Layers in your…
Seeking resources to onboard and acclimate people (including myself) to scripting routines (via Javascript) in Revu eXtreme. Best I've found so far is this tutorial, but it's limited to stamps. Anything that covers workflows for basic reporting (e.g. filtering and summing markup/annotation quantities by property) would be…
Hi This will most likely be an easy question for most of you. When I am creating a drawing, I open new pdf and select a grid type from the STYLE: drop down box. Once I have completed the drawing, I would like to remove the blue grid lines from my drawing. When I print the sheet, there are no grid lines, when I send as a…
Is there a way to have the reply text display without hovering your mouse pointer over the darker box.
Hello, A previous team member was able to do something that I cannot figure out. Somehow they created BB toolchest drawings based on autocad dxf files. I do not think they traced them. Does anyone know how to create scaled toolchest items that are basically 2D top views of pieces of equipment drawn in Autocad? In other…
Is there a way to add a chat feature so that participants can interact? My intention is to inform participants when adding files to the session. It would be helpful if I could send a message that appears on the users screen. I know that BB offers notifications but not all of the users turn notifications on. As the admin of…

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.…
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…
Our work laptops were running two different versions of Bluebeam, and in both of those versions, we were unable to use the Microsoft Office add-ins. We keep hearing that there is a problem with Bluebeam, and I am curious whether anyone else is having the same problem. I'm interested in learning if the problem is a…
Hi all! I'm searching for a way to password protect a set of markups on a pdf without disabling the ability for other users to add new markups without the password. A working example would be one user, a drawing checker in this case, would go through the pdf creating markups. When they're complete, they lock the file so…
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…
