Has anybody experienced the menu bar missing. Once I updated to Revu21 it has gone away.
Studio Sessions - Connection & Credential Issues throughout the day I represent 32 total users using Revu on Desktop for our architectural workflows (drawings, collaboration, markups, redlines, etc). Although tech support has told me it is a pretty common setup, we are using Revu in an… "unsupported environment" …running…
Would anyone else find a search feature for the "All Session" list to be useful? Or the ability to sort alphabetically? As the reviewer/signer for all drawing sets in a 25-person architecture group, my session list can get pretty long.
Most applications (including Notepad) have this ability to share the monitor's real-estate space when user hovers on the MAXIMIZE button, but not Bluebeam. Where is the Split-Screen option in Bluebeam. The only workaround is to use the Windows 11 feature when the application is dragged to the top of the monitor,, which is…
Hello. We use Calibri Light as a default font in documents. Often (yet, not always) when we go into the PDF to make a quick fix of a typo, the Calibri Light font is not supported (receive pop-up). However, within typewriter, etc., Calibri Light is a recognized font. What might be the reason that text editor doesn't…
Hi There, I have been working on some standard tools and stamps for my firm and I seem to be running into the limits of both tools and stamps. What I want is a tool/stamp (either is fine the functionality is what we need) that has some dynamic fields and some editable text that a user can double click into to edit. What I…
Bluebeam has a ton of cool tools and features but one that's confused me is the difference between Text Box and Typewriter. The Text Box tool is useful for placing text notes and comments on the PDF. Text is contained within a text box you define, including its size, background color, and other properties. The Typewriter…
I am running Bluebeam 21. I have it installed on Parallels for mac. I have been using this same setup for several years, but just got a new computer and am trying to set it up the same way. But when I click Sign In, the button just blinks. It doesn't let me actually sign in. The dialog box does not appear. Please help! BB…
I'm sure I'm missing something here, so anyone please help me. I make markups on civil plans that contain grids. Disabling or enabling the snap function seems to be a non functioning feature, as the measurement tool snaps to the nearest item, regardless of anything I've tried over the years. I'm tired of it. HELP. This is…

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…
