I've been building our companies Custom Bluebeam Tool Sets by tracing our Legend Sheets for P&IDs and PFDs. I've come across an issue that makes the individual groups look really bad. Arcs and ellipses, when you add line thickness to them, they only add the thickness to the inner part of the arc. Not both sides of the arc…
When we create a Length tool and need it to land in an "empty" area, we tried to create two lines that intersected at the proper ending location. The Length tool didn't snap to the intersection between lines. We made sure to turn on "Snap to Markup", but it didn't work.
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…
I just created a ToolSet for steel framing where I used a Custom Column to display the Steel Member Size on the Markup Dimension (what I use for Steel Framing) on the PDF. This worked great because I used a Choice Custom Column to filter the different sizes into different categories based on the Markups Subject name. I am…
Can you create a button to mirror the PDF and it's not the same as rotating.
Please make it easier to view photographs in Bluebeam. It would be nice to at the least to view thumb nails. If you have a large number of pictures it is impossible to download them all at once. If you could create a way to view them in a phot album version or any version in a timely easy manner, that would be greatly…

I've been using a Logitech Gaming G915 Keyboard and G502 Mouse for a while now and it has been a game changing for me. The reason being is each device allows for user profiles depending on what software you are running. For example, the keyboard has 3 profile buttons at the top of the board and these "quick keys" instantly…
I recently received a message form a student regarding an issue with Revu. The student mentioned that they typically keep Revu open as a floating window so they can see their desktop icons. The Revu window will gradually increase in size every time the program is opened, eventually covering the status bar at the bottom.…

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…
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…
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 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…
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
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…
