I'm an electrical contractor and I am working with a general contractor who manages their projects on studio. I have a core subscription to bluebeam cloud. How do I get the studio project to open in the bluebeam android app. I don't need to make any changes(I'm not authorized to do that) just need to be able to view and…
Somehow I lost the First Page button on my Nav bar. How do I get it back? I know there are other ways to get to the first page, but I miss it.
I have not used projects for some time and have just discovered it has gone replaced with studio how can i recover my "old" projects
I make a lot of PDF forms and BB's feature to "automatically create form fields" is time saving, so long as I want it to Justify Left all form fields and set the text to Helvetica Font Size 9. I find I want the majority of my forms to be AUTO font size and I want them CENTERED. I can't seem to sort out how to edit my BB's…
This discussion was created from comments split from: 📢 What's New in Bluebeam University: A Fresh Look & New Course - "Start Using Bluebeam"!.
Is anyone aware of a setting that will allow me to navigate between cells in the markups list with the directional arrows, tab key, or enter/return button on the keyboard similar to inputting data in excel? We sometimes use the Markups list to collect additional data from drawings and it can be slightly laborious when…
I'm a building Inspector and at times for large plans I like to connect or align several pages so I can see the entire layout of MEP is there a way to do this in BB directly?
My team regularly receives markups from clients that come in two files, one a PDF with a callout such as 'C-001' and then an Excel sheet that will list 'C-001' with test in the adjoining column. Now this is just a frustration on our end and something the clients will not budge on. I am curious if there is a way to bring…
I have a .bex file (aka Bluebeam Sets) that I had been able to print the latest revisions just fine… until recently. Now, when anyone on the team goes to print the latest revisions, the Print diolog seems to list all the pages for each combined PDF, and only print the first chunk of pages. (The example below shows eight…
Hi, Apologies if this information is posted somewhere else. The search tool keeps bringing me to the same two posts. I need to add my company's submittal review sheets into documents that are certified, with the option of mark-ups, fill in forms, and digital signatures. We do a lot of government work, and my company (AE)…

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…
