Question for the community - How do you use Layers in your workflow? Layers has come up in several topics recently and I thought it would be a good idea to learn how and why some people use them so those of us who don't could better understand how they might benefit us in our daily life. So… How do you use Layers in your…
Seeking resources to onboard and acclimate people (including myself) to scripting routines (via Javascript) in Revu eXtreme. Best I've found so far is this tutorial, but it's limited to stamps. Anything that covers workflows for basic reporting (e.g. filtering and summing markup/annotation quantities by property) would be…
Hi This will most likely be an easy question for most of you. When I am creating a drawing, I open new pdf and select a grid type from the STYLE: drop down box. Once I have completed the drawing, I would like to remove the blue grid lines from my drawing. When I print the sheet, there are no grid lines, when I send as a…
Is there a way to have the reply text display without hovering your mouse pointer over the darker box.
Hello, A previous team member was able to do something that I cannot figure out. Somehow they created BB toolchest drawings based on autocad dxf files. I do not think they traced them. Does anyone know how to create scaled toolchest items that are basically 2D top views of pieces of equipment drawn in Autocad? In other…
Is there a way to add a chat feature so that participants can interact? My intention is to inform participants when adding files to the session. It would be helpful if I could send a message that appears on the users screen. I know that BB offers notifications but not all of the users turn notifications on. As the admin of…
Greetings! Since I have been playing around with saving Layer configurations, do you have a slicer function like EXCEL? Meaning, a quick button to select which Layer configuration you want? If you don't know what a slicer is, here is a quick YT video, it's already at the TS where it begins to show you what a slicer is…
When I split the screen and Bluebeam is one of the programs being split, it pushes the top, left, and right toolbars off of the usable screen. Is there a setting adjustment to get all the toolbars to not push off of the screen when splitting the screen? The screenshot below shows the full extents of the screen and the…
We recently had two projects deleted by a user (we can't track who, though, and Bluebeam couldn't tell us). This has happened to me one other time, so we try to warn our users during our training sessions. I believe the user meant to "Remove From List" but instead chose "Delete" not realizing it would delete the entire…

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…
