So here's an interesting one for a Monday morning - just started using Bluebeam and discovered that my preferences for snap to, cross hairs, snap to colour, etc. have all been reset to the original default settings. I'm still on 21.6.1 (dare not update to 21.7 until there is 21.7.1) so no changes resulting from a new…
By using the email feature, the emailed sheet took two weeks for delivery! Where are these files stored before sending or how did I initiate the 'send' button two weeks later!!:)
We have a team member who opened their own Bluebeam account. I need to absorb that account into my company account. How do I do that? Haven't gotten any help from Bluebeam when trying to ask them directly.
Hi, I'm new here, I searched the forum, but I couldn't find a similar question, sorry if I missed it. We recently auto labeled a file share with Microsoft Purview labels. Once we did this, we found our users were unable to open the files. We followed the guidance for integrating Bluebeam and were able to get past that…
I see that there is a ellipse tool, but is there an actual circle tool? If so, where is it?
I would like to know if there is a way to search throughout a file or set to references a detail on a page? In other words, I want to do a reverse search from a fine detail, all the way up the drawings.
Is anyone else experiencing issues with their toolbars not displaying the icons in the order in which they have been set? I've only noticed this recently but, no matter what I try I cannot get the tools to display in the order that they are allocated in when you customise a toolbar. This applies to new toolbars as well as…
I have a small problem. Some spaces are "printed" to pdf just fine. Some spaces don't link up with area measurements. Process is like this I recive a pdf with spaces from Archicad or other I create area measurements from Spaces Some measurements don't seem to inherit the space in markup windows What to do? Is this REVU…
Hi everyone, I’ve been working with Bluebeam Revu for different construction projects, and while it’s been a great tool overall, I still run into a few challenges that I’d like to improve on. For example, scaling drawings accurately can sometimes be tricky when dimensions aren’t clear, and managing markups across larger…
Is there a way to have an option to include the page number as a prefix when selecting a page region for label? Only ask for this because I often will create page labels based on page region but it would be nice to include a method of retaining the page number in the label for extraction as single sheets, the plans are in…

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
