Hello, I submit a request about the printing of drawings, measurements and markups that are in specific layers. I draw measurements in buildings to demolish or to construct, on an architect et engineer drawing; I design one layer for unique elements, one layer for elements on the ground, one layer for vertical elements on…
How do I create a markup shortcut that I created?
I know this is a little lengthy, but I tried to make it totally clear and understandable. I hope I succeeded. When you open "Manage Columns" there are two tabs, "Display Order" & "Custom Columns". Once I import my custom columns, I want to setup the order in the "Display Order" tab. This procedure sets the order the…
How do I default certain colors and degrees of shading? For example, if I need a text box it defaults to red at 100% also the text color. When I need a text box, I need it yellow at 40% and the text black.
I am not very familiar with the Excel automation and scripts, but I am hoping someone on here has the knowledge of both Excel and Bluebeam to help me. Has anyone setup Excel scripts to help link multiple data points from a Bluebeam file at once? If there is a project that needs hundreds of quantity links I think an Excel…
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…
I created a custom stamp using text with a .png image at 20% opacity in the background of the text. The stamp shows up as intended while the pdf file is open on my screen. However, when I print it to a color printer or to a Blebeam pdf file, the .png file in the background shows up in full color (NOT 20 % opacity). Any…
I noticed that if you have a count selected and then highlight text on the document, the copy command will prioritize copying a value in the count's label column, and if that is blank it uses the next value to the left. This has brought some issues to my current process as I now have to first deselect the count, then…
Are Revu or any of its processes optimized for use of multiple CPU cores?

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…
