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…
Wondering if anyone has found a way to easily modify the scaled dimensions of a Sketch To Scale Rectangle? Currently the width & height properties do not seem to be editable. We use the S2S Rectangle tool to represent individual facade panels for estimating purposes. There is a workaround that involves dividing the Sketch…
Good morning, I'd like to be able to close Bluebeam at the end of the day or when I shut down my PC and then open it back up without opening all of the pervious documents I had open. Is there a way to change this in settings? thanks in advance -Ryan G
Mac user here that can no longer access Studio from the client (1.93). I've been using Bluebeam Web a bit, and am wondering if there is a way to import custom stamps into a web session?
Hi, I would like to know if there is any way to close BB sessions made by other user inside my compagny ? By default, when creating session, the permission of session are very limited and closing is possible only by the person who create the session. Thus, is that person quit the company, it should be a way, by the…
I'm one person with two computers, one at my office and laptop on the road. I'll bet I'm not the only one. I forgot to "sign off" of my single seat n Revu before I left, and now I'm screwed. Any ideas? I'm desperate to provide a much needed report.
Does anyone have any tips to make gigantic PDF's that have a lot of details, load faster? I have a takeoff I am doing on a 133MB stack of just architectural prints, and it is loading way too slow on some pages, because of the detail. I already have hardware rendering on and the typical BB settings enabled to make it…
When i try to edit the text by double clicking into the "Notes" column i created, an autofill box appears and i can't edit text. This is frustrating. Does anyone have an idea of how to fix this?
A number of drawings we receive from clients are watermarked and/or password protected as well but are not hyperlinked which slows everything down. When I create bookmarks and page labels using Automark, the watermark text that crosses the drawing title block is being picked up as well and in order to get Batch Link to…
I would like to know how I can set the scale precision to default to 1/8" instead of 1/4". I have searched but not been able to come up with an answer.

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 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…
