Hello, I have a few foremen that are telling me that they cannot find their template in BB so they can do pick offs using their iPads. Has anyone else come into this problem? We have a company shared Dropbox folder that has all the BB toolsets listed. I'm new to this application and can use any and all help. Thank you
I have been tasked to create a PDF order form where a user would be able to select a geometric shape for a construction form. My ideal situation would be a dropdown form where different shapes are selectable and upon selection, a drawing of that shape would appear on the page with additional drop down options regarding…
Hi everyone, we have Revu 20.3.30, If we check the projectwise plugin check box in Revu Administrator, Apply, and Close. Next time we open Administrator the checkbox isn't checked. We are running Administrator in Admin mode, and the other plugins work. There's no errors. Bluebeam Plugins Administrator.log says this.…
Afternoon All, We have custom tool chest icons with photos attached to them on our markups. There are up to 200 icons on a markup, which for some reporting we want to remove all photos. Can anyone suggest how to delete all the photos in a single action? It is very time consuming to delete individual photos from each icon…
I created page labels for my document and want to search for them but when using CTRL+F the page does not show up as seen below. Another solution would be to order/sort the pages by their label, is this possible?
Hi, I was wondering if there was a way to change my language to English for my tool chest? As can be seen in image attached, I have already changed the language to English as seen by the tabs on the top of the image. However, the Tool chest symbols inside remain in a different language. can anyone help me with fixing this?
I have a large document that is the Exhibits to a contract. In updating the file, replacing pages that have been modified to keep the document current, the page numbering is now off. The first 144 pages of the document are in sequence, but at page 145, the number outside the parenthesis resets to 1. Is there a way to get…
I've removed custom stamps from the Stamps folder where they were kept, however they are still accessible to attach to a PDF. Is Bluebeam storing a copy someone within the program? This pertains to electronic copies of professional seals that belong to a partner that is retiring so we can't have them accessible to anyone…
With PDF mock-up changes in collaboration, it is certain that original drawings to become obsolete, how to handle such a situation? Does BB have any established/recommended manual and automated approach to two-way syncup? I am open to understanding if such sync-up issues are solved even privately (i.e may not be a public…
I do understand Open standards of PDFs and lighter sizes of PDFs etc compared to drawing formats. However, can any practitioners list all the advantages they saw compared to the original drawing format in collaboration with PDFs?

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…
