Does layers work with sets? I created a layer on one sheet, then tried adding that layer to another sheet, but it's not available to add. It only has the option to create new.
No sure if this is the correct place to add this, if not please point me to the correct section. I am proficient will all types of design software (20+ years) and recently started using Bluebeam for my current role. Like any software, the only thing that changes is the terminology. If you know what you want to do, you…
Recently my team has been encountering instances where Bluebeam seems to be adding multiple statuses, seemingly on it's own, to markups. It does it to multiple markups at a time too and takes a lot of real estate on the markup list. We're still actively working on identifying potential causes for this, as I personally have…
Welcome to the third day of the #BluebeamSupportSeries! As part of our Bluebeam Support Series, we’re highlighting some of the most common questions and issues our Support Team has recently seen. Today’s post focuses on: Reactivating deactivated users within the Org Admin portal. A member of the Bluebeam team will be…
We have a word document that we link to other documents. When we create a pdf from the word document the links carry through to the pdf. We are moving these files now from our local network to SharePoint. I am working on relinking the files. We copy the link to each file for the hyperlink. When the pdf is created it is…
With no intentional change of software I have run into a situation that causes Revu v21.7 to be unusable for modifying PDF files. It only functions as a viewer. V21.7 has been working without issue until now. Multiple problems occur: All markup tools are grayed out and non-functional. The BB logo and the text "Sign In"…
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 did a search and did not find anything. I am trying to get my company to switch for prints and highlighters to BlueBeam and doing take off. The first job is an airport distribution facility and all the PDF's plans are protected. All markup on the right is greyed out and I cannot paste out count symbols on devices to get…

One of my colleagues left the company and left a bluebeam session she created open. Is there a way to close a session without the session owner? Or am I doomed to have an old session in my Studio forever?
It looks like you're new here. Sign in or register to get started.
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…
Seeing as to how many rave reviews there AREN'T for Cloud, I wanted to come on here and list a few features that are desperately needed, and see if anyone else has insight into how the mobile version can be made as awesome as the PC version: Undo/redo button - Honestly can’t believe this is not there… dynamic editing of…
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…
