Has anyone here had issues when dupe/revising a custom profile with custom statuses? I inherited some customized profiles which I still use but whenever I have tried to update them (i.e., add or rename a status), it doesn't work. I save it as under a different name but it basically reverts back to the original. I feel like…
Hello, I am relatively new to Bluebeam and I am setting up custom tool chests by division, for take offs. I am only a couple divisions in and I am having issues with freezing/lagging if I open more than one tool chest at a time. In fact this is my second time doing these as the first time it caused my program to crash and…
I had a drawing sent to me. It was perhaps put together buy cut and paste. If I am on any ink and try to move the whole page, I end up moving parts of the drawing. This does not happen on other drawings. Is there a way to stop this?
Has anyone else had the issue of Custom Columns saved to the profile not being applied to drawings? Lately I've had to make sure that they've been applied by applying them manually. Seems to be since the 21.6 upgrade
Has anyone else noticed a bit of a lag when changing your tool from Drawing Mode to Properties Mode? It seems to be a thing from 21.6.
Everytime i start a new pdf the first thing I have to do i change it to Fit to Page so I can see the whole pdf.
Im a builder and im looking for the best way to use bluebeam onsite for quick marks ups or inspections. Does anyone use bluebeam desktop on a surface tablet?
Self explanatory. What am I missing here. Where is the markup features on the iPhone app?
My colleague is using a surface laptop studio. He has an issue with Bluebeam and the zoom function with touchscreen. When he uses his fingers it zooms the wrong way around. Are there any solutions? Using Desktop Revu 21.
Does anyone else have this issue? This is the second time this happened to me and my entire office… it is really starting to make me think Bluebeam isn't has beneficial as it should be. My contract/subscription included 4 seats. I am the organization administrator for all of the seats and was notified at the beginning of…

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…
