Hello all. I have frequent problems with wipeouts in AutoCAD not plotting properly when printed to PDF with Bluebeam. See below: Those black bars are all wipeouts. Actually, it's one quadrant of a wipeout - all of those rectangle block have one wipeout behind them. This PDF was printed from AutoCAD with the Bluebeam batch…
It appears that a new "feature" was added to show a pop-up when double-clicking a grouped markup. Can you please add an option to disable this behavior? Not only this pop-up is useless because it's too big and we can't control its size, this pop-up also prevents me from using most of my markup tools that are built using…
Would it be possible for the polyline/poly-measure tools to have an auto-arc feature and inside radius bend adjustments? =The idea would be to draw in straight right angles and for it to auto-arc at all bends. When auto-arc is not on the tool will work as it has. Lastly, the ability to change the inside radius of the bend…
Does Bluebeam have an AI facility to assess a Fire Safety Certificate Application utilizing Irish Building Regulations?
One of my colleagues uploaded some specifications to the contractor's Procore session and when they downloaded it, the font wasn't right. I'm not sure what to check other than maybe there isn't a compatible font on the contractor's end. Any ideas? Sorry about the poor "screen capture" it's what they sent me.…
Is there a way to do an array along a path in BB? There’s plenty of videos online for an array – but here’s a quick one that I’m curious about: https://youtu.be/eS6P8v6mUUM?si=_HfT88Swlnltlj2k CAD calls this a path-array. For my line of work, I would like to draw paths that align with the same path as a building that would…
What's up, ya'll? This is a two part problem, probably related to each other. I'm on Revu x64 Complete and I updated to 21.4. I'm now having a consistent issue when I have more than one instance open where I am unable to edit my markups in the markups list. This has also happened once with only one instance open. You'll…
What's up ya'll? I am trying to find an efficient method to run multiple Bluebeam instances on one project file so that one instance (on one screen) is my active takeoff/markups and the other instance (second screen) live updates those markups. Does such a thing exist? I am an electrical estimator and work on a variety of…
When I create a text box, the text shows up but as soon as I click away the text disappears. If I click the text box again the text shows. Text box shows text: Click away and it disappears: I have tried reimporting/deleting the font but it does not resolve this issue.

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…
