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…
I'm a building Inspector and at times for large plans I like to connect or align several pages so I can see the entire layout of MEP is there a way to do this in BB directly?
My team regularly receives markups from clients that come in two files, one a PDF with a callout such as 'C-001' and then an Excel sheet that will list 'C-001' with test in the adjoining column. Now this is just a frustration on our end and something the clients will not budge on. I am curious if there is a way to bring…
I have a .bex file (aka Bluebeam Sets) that I had been able to print the latest revisions just fine… until recently. Now, when anyone on the team goes to print the latest revisions, the Print diolog seems to list all the pages for each combined PDF, and only print the first chunk of pages. (The example below shows eight…
Hi, Apologies if this information is posted somewhere else. The search tool keeps bringing me to the same two posts. I need to add my company's submittal review sheets into documents that are certified, with the option of mark-ups, fill in forms, and digital signatures. We do a lot of government work, and my company (AE)…
How does one view and export the log of a user and their activity in Bluebeam sessions? Ideally, need to look at all markups and sessions joined from a specific user.
If I am not mistaken, there is no current way to export a PDF package to retain the individual pdf sets from a Bluebeam Studio Session. The only current way creates a combined PDF set, to which then the admin of the session would need to break them apart if they wanted to keep them separate.
Do I always have to download the files from Studio to upload them in Procore?
Is there a way that all pdfs uploaded to a BB studio session have a custom status applied? The method outlined in this article with a saved profile still makes you create one markup and set the the status for it to be included in the studio session.…

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…
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…
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 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…
