My team primarily uses custom objects for their take offs, we've set up tool boxes with all of our common size options. What we run into is when doing a large take off layout the objects handles will fully overlap other objects and make to where we cannot select objects and delete or manipulate them, or we'll grab an…
My subscription has been renewed, and my bank account debited for full amount, but I am unable to use Bluebeam. When I open it will not allow me to do anything except click on my account name, and it shows it as "Expired" and Plan "Unassigned". I submitted a ticket two days ago, and have heard NOTHING! I am dead in the…
The last couple of weeks I have had a problem. When I click on a Session it starts to load it and then kicks me out of the Session and gives me this exact same message: After I select OK I can re-enter the Session I was trying to review without an issue. This happens every time I enter a Session that I was not in recently…
Since upgrading to 21.6.1, it seems I have to rearrange order of the tabs on each BB OPEN. I commonly start with about half a dozen tabs open for a couple of most active projects. I like to have them in order of Project 1 Specs, Project 1 CA Set, Project 1 Revisions, Project 2 Specs, Project 2 CA Set, Project 2 Revisions.…
Has anyone else ran into the error when trying to install/ update Bluebeam 21" Package Bluebeam Revu x64 Error: Error 1714. The older version of Bluebeam Revu x64 21 cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group." I've tried the following without any success: Bluebeam Clean Up Utility, various Registry and…
I'm trying to load a document with fillable form fields into a Bluebeam Studio session so that when attendees join the session, they can complete their portions of the form. However, when I add the document to the Studio session, all the form fields lock and cannot be filled. How can I make the fields fillable?
Our company currently has a multi-step process for hyperlinking our production unit drawings to our shop drawing details and then unit drawings to our part drawings. Firstly, we open the unit drawings and detail sheets, set up batch link, which requires a linking option setup with "open files" and link settings to be whole…
Is there a way to justify a large text block? I only see the option to align left, center, or right, no full justify.
If Bluebeam thought moving away from Bluebeam Revu for iPad in favor of Bluebeam Cloud was a good move… they have some explaining to do. I have been trying to get Bluebeam Cloud work for my team and so far it is glitchy, slow, cumbersome, and it is missing 90% of what made Bluebeam Revu so good. I can't measure things in…
I have encountered a bug in the Studio with Bluebeam Cloud. When I open a set of drawings from Studio withing the Bluebeam Cloud app and check out the drawings or documents, I can't check them in after making an edit. The option to check in is not in the list and I have to go to my PC and undo the check out. Has anyone…

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…
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…
On the Bluebeam website, under "Resources" > "Need an older version of Revu?" there is only v20 and older. This needs new options, like v21.6. Currently the need for this is high, because v21.7 has a highly annoying "new feature" while drawing polylines, areas and contour and area measurement. Something goes visually wrong…
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…
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 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
