I know replies to text box comments are linked and show up in the Markups List. Is there a way to make these replies fully visible in the body of the document next to the comment?
Probably 12+ years ago there used to be a plugin for a structural steel profile. The tool box had weld symbols and other mark ups we could use related to steel. I had it for so long and so only having to get it once I forget where to get this profile or if it still an option?
A member of my team is experiencing issues logging in. Somehow the user session is still stored in the background, but the "Log in" button keeps appearing. When clicking on the button, the users email address is shown for a split-second, after which the button changes back to "Log in". The login screen is not opening. From…
Is there a setting to change what dialog box pops up when you hover over tools in you tool chest? Prior to the update all of my custom tools for markups would show the label that I made for them when you hovered your mouse over them. Now they only show the measurement type.
I have a new issue whereby every time i open Bluebeam, it creates me an additional "My Tools" chest….i now have 16 Tool chests named "My Tools"!?! They also cant be deleted so they are growing. Anyone have any ideas?
When I try to edit a Tool Set I created, Revu gives me an error (below and I attached some screen shots). I created this Tool Set file. At one point, I updated my Revu and I added it back to my Tool Chest. Since then, it has been stuck as Read-Only. I can't even delete it from my Tool Chest. I click the reconnect button…
Hi everyone. Sooo. Here's the challenge. Using the iPad. Customer is trying to attach a field inspection photo and have it be a part of a mark up. This way it can be included in the Summary Report. Currently using Bluebeam Cloud on the iPad, you can attach a photo ( or take one) but its a seperate Markup… Anyone have a…
Hello—I'm investigating automations of bluebeam tool creation. I'm interested in taking a database full of pdfs with shapes and vector images that I want to turn into tools (steel sections and simpson fasteners). What do you power users out there know about this? Thanks! CGPT says this about it: Likely Storage Structure…

Hello, I am trying to evaluate this product since I've heard the old BlueBeam for IOS app is being killed off. I downloaded it from the app store, opened it, and was able to log into it using my org. admin account for the desktop version. When I use the app, I only see two options "Studio Projects" and "Studio Sessions",…

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…
