I have a schedule exported to PDF with lots of data. Oddly, some of the data fields that are exported from the scheduling tool are not fully recognized as text by Bluebeam. For example, a unique task ID number of 'E-60-AR-1234' exists, but is not found in search. Additionally, if I attempt to copy that ID number, upon…
Are there any new features now in Revu 21.5 version? Please let us know if there are any useful functional improvements.
I use the highlighter to mark completed changes on revision sheets. Whenever it encounters text, the highlighter changes to a text insertion point. Is there a way to prevent this from happening, so it stays on "highlight only?" I have tried holding down the CNTL key, but this only works part of the time. Thanks, Josh
The session feature is inconvenient because it restricts users from editing markups created by others. It would be helpful to have a function that allows only authorized users to edit them. Does such a feature exist?
I have upgraded from 2018 to version 21. I use a lot of grouped images and found with this version when I change the line color, the software automatically changes the line size of items that were 0.0 to 1.0. This is forcing me to ungroup images and manually correct the line sizes back to 0.0. Defaults and toolbox is not…
I've been fighting this issue with various PDF's for a while now. It mostly presents with snapshots, groups of markups/images, etc. If I hover over select snapshots (G, vector based in settings)/markups, the colored vector-like glitches present and go away upon moving the mouse. The lines shown usually present when I save…
I wanted to try the Auto Align option in Revu 21, but it aligned based on title blocks instead of the content. So I tried again by selecting the area to overlay, and it still didn't align (Arch plan/Struct plan - same scale). Has anyone successfully used this feature yet?
I am a flooring contractor and I am trying to takeoff rooms using 6'7" sheet goods. Is there a way to measure the area and autofill the seams every 6'7"?
When the line thickness of the call-out is set to 0, there is no box around the text and the arrow has a line thickness of 1.0. Is there any way of reducing the line thickness of the arrow without creating a box around the text?
Land Development: I receive lot plans in pdf format which often just show lot numbers. I'd like a script so I can click in a bounded white space (in a pdf) and have a text field with the area and a sequential "lot number" inserted at that location. The idea is to export these fields to Excel, add other fields and carry out…

Is there a way to be able to Add a Sequence into a Count Measurement tool? Here's my scenario…I want to be able to mark up a plan with a red dot or a blue dot with a number sequence (each dot colour will have its own number sequence) but then I want to do a count on the number of red dots and number of blue dots and add it…

I use the filter markups function to locate all takeoffs. However, when I have two markups at same location as in the picture, and try to filter the markup that I need, it will not show because the other markup is greyed out and obstructs it. The filter markup feature should work in a way similar to layers. for example in…
I'm creating a smart PDF from an existing PDF and have a series of textboxes that will have the exact same properties. When I finish formatting the first textbox and copy and paste. The only properties that are copied to the next textbox are the font and layout, but not the Format properties. I've been stuck with copying…
How do I create a markup shortcut that I created?
What is the best way to track project issues? I have issues that are emailed to me by my contractor customers and need some way to flag it and remember to follow up on it. I am having too many emails fall through the cracks and are not resolved in a timely manner.
Perimeter measurement is an integral part of my work, however, is not available on my system (Bluebeam Revu x64 Basics). Is this correct and if so, what do I need to do to make this available. This is the only tool that I need (that is not available to me already) and I'm hoping that I do not have to upgrade my system to…
Whe I add a new toolbox, I am prompted for a place to save it. The default location, at least mine, is in the Windows user area. Something like C:/users/(your name)/AppData/Roaming/Bluebeam software/Revu/21. In my office we share files on One Drive. Can a default storage location be set so we don't have to climb up and…
