Hello, I want to be able to export the information from a legend easily to Excel. I know you can export all the markups and work from there, but the legend has everything nicely summarized and I would like to manipulate the info more in Excel. I tried the File > Export > Excel Workbook > Page Region … but it clumps it into…
I've been trying to find a way to translate Counts to markups. I suggested it as an Idea in the Community, but has either gotten ignored or assumingly there may be already a way to do this. To get a better understanding on why I'm trying to chase the following: I work as a Project Engineering for an Electrical…
I have my scaling precision set to 1, however I noticed that in the legend the totals are not adding up correctly. It seems like Bluebeam is adding the actual "precise" measurements regardless of what is displayed, and the precision setting being set to 1, and then rounding up that new total (See attached screenshot, total…
Hi, the problem that I'm experiencing is that when creating a tool from a number of grouped elements, means that the scale that the icon is too small and the icon is not really clear enough. Is there a way of replacing the icon with either a scaled up portion of the original image or being able to provide an alternative…
I am referring to this. When Bluebeam Revu x64 is open, and I've not noticed it before, this pops up when I press the screenshot button. That would be fine except it removes the screenshot data if I wait too long. It also doesn't let me paste into other applications. I would prefer to disable this feature completely. I've…
First off, the "Reduce File Size" feature is AMAZING! I absolutely love that it works even for files within a folder and subfolders—without needing to open them individually. The issue I’m facing is that when dealing with really large files, the process takes a lot of time. During this time, I can’t use Bluebeam or even…
I have searched all over the various Bluebeam sites and cannot find the answer. Is there anywhere to download additional Tool Sets for the Tool chest. I'm specifically looking for Access Control, Security, and CCTV Tool Sets. TIA.
Can Bluebeam create Adobe Acrobat fillable fields within a pdf? I know how to create a text box, but I would like to create the blue fillable fields that anyone can fill by just using Acrobat viewer. In the same vane, I would like to create the blue check boxes as well. TIA
My "Dynamic Fill" says it's disabled. How do I enable it?
How do I share a Custom Toolbox with other users who use the same login but operate from a separate desktop?

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…
