Is there a setting to convert all Bluebeam measurements (including those in the interface) to metric instead of imperial? I feel like I saw somewhere that the only way to do this was to change the portal from US to (let's face it) anything else to show metric, but our company has everyone on the United States server (even…
I'm curios to know if there is a way to use the Excel Link feature and Onsite QTY reporting to limit data entry. 1.) I have a spreadsheet that has a take off by Welds, Flanges, Valves etc. This take off is by Isometric Drawings. 2.) Is there a way to Excel Link where the site time can for example count the welds in the…
Hello I'm trying to scale this drawing with the top measurement. It needs a . after the 13, separating the millimeters, put Blue beam does not allow it
Hi All, I am using Civil 3D 2024 and have installed the Autocad Plugin but when I click on "Create PDF" it does nothing. The only button out of the 4 that does work is the "Change Settings" button. We are on REVU 21 Complete. Does anyone know why? Thanks
How do I add a new toolset?
Where do I change the current , at decimals, to a .
I would like to remove and save approx. 10 pdfs from a studio session to condense the list to the most current files. The process of deleting individual files and saving a local copy is rather tedious. Is there a way to streamline the process?
BB crashed and I had added/edited dozens of tools and when I logged back in many of the toolsets were not showing in my profile or in the toolset list (so not hidden). Any ideas? And when I tried importing it said they already existed….
Curious if others have experienced this error when trying to PDF from the Bluebeam Add-in within Word and if you have any fixes: Version: 21.6.1 Operating System: Windows 10
I am struggling with converting certain tables and/or bid tabs from PDF into Excel. I have tried the entire document and just the page region, but when I export the data, the formatting is all screwed up. I can't seem to get the tables to import neatly. Any suggestions?

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 should be able to post a link here and have it take you to a Bluebeam session and a specific file within it. http:// (session URL) / file I should be able to link to a markup even as well. Why isn't this in Bluebeam yet? It's so frustrating that we (in multiple workplaces I've been at) have to say "hey folks we posted…
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 have used BlueBeam Revu to create piping isometric drawings. However, this process takes a very long time and is painstaking because currently Revu only allows you to snap to 45° or 90°. If there was an option to turn on snapping to 15° increments, it would allow for much cleaner and faster creation/marking up of piping…
