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.…
I have a pdf and the "Add a bookmark" not available. The button is greyed out and will not let me create a bookmark. This is a pdf of an engineers set of plans and possibly had a digital Florida Engineer seal on them. I work with these types of pdf's all the time and this is the first time that I am not able to bookmark a…
It would be really cool if in the REVU preferences general options or tools options, to be able to associate a general subject - such as "Building & Safety", or "Fire", "Planning" or "Arctitect". And if this feature could be toggled on and off for use, as some users would not want the feature. This would allow all comments…
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…
During a recent class, we encountered an issue with the Signature tool being grayed out during a Session. @Aily Roper from Bluebeam mentioned that 'Signatures need to save document-level info, which is not possible in Sessions - what our internal expert suggests is Electronic Signatures or applying after the Session.'
By and large we've started to ignore digital signature validation. It' sbecome a pain when you need to update some small clerical item like a typo. Under the archaic version of wet signatures, a clerical alteration was easily handle, you just did it. No one came around with their white-out to clear their signature and…
Can your Engineers roll out an update so that the Revu software 'Author' field auto updates with the licensed and registered user of the Bluebeam software? It's currently defaulting to the folder name at C:\User\username. This is problematic and time consuming for us to keep changing the Author field before sending out…
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…

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…
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
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…
