I would love BB studio to reconnect automatically. I am sick of the pop ups and barriers to keep working when I have to tell it to reconnect to the BB studio. Anyone have a solution?
Do you know why it's disconnecting?
Are you connected by wi-fi or a hardline?
BB loses connection every time I log off, un-dock etc. I wouldn't care as much but just about every action that happens in BB with a progress bar prevents you from doing anything else in the program. I don't need to see the status, I'm trying to work on other things while BB connects.
I would both like Bluebeam to more aggressively attempt automatic reconnects and to also make it much more obvious in the UI when disconnected and working offline. I found some good examples of indicators at https://ux.stackexchange.com/a/89705/162139
The reason for this is confusion I've observed with some mechanics and electricians on my team. We use Bluebeam so that we can all have the latest schematic redline markups. I've noticed they normally have the Bookmarks pane visible and not the Studio pane. Since there is literally nothing in the UI telling them they're working offline, they can be working offline for days before noticing a schematic discrepancy compared with someone else's computer, and only then do they notice they've been working offline.
The existing popup seems reasonable, but in my experience at least 80% of users ignore every popup from every application and click whichever button they happen to mouse over first.
Yes, that is also an issue I have seen. Bluebeam used to be cutting edge, it has fallen off with minimal improvements over the last 5 years. We also want a less secure version of studio sessions where multiple users can edit each others markups. Asked for that 7-8 years ago…crickets.
It occurs to me that if Bluebeam can't/won't implement auto-reconnect functionality, then at the very least give us an option to prohibit working offline. It's caused enough problems that I'd rather users couldn't see the PDFs at all during an actual extended internet outage. That seems like it'd be less of a problem than the silently-going-offline issue.
If I put text on a page (text box or typewriter) and then use the Edit Action command to make a jump to another page, it will put a lightning bolt under the bottom right corner of the text box. Is there a way to make the lightning bolt to the right of the text? I have issues when I have the text in a list format the…
It seems sometime in Dec 2025 the invites sent out from the BB Session no longer has the name of the document in the session invite. We use to see "You've been invited to Studio Session (name of session)" all we now see is "You've been invited to Studio Session" the name is no longer shown. Is this a preference? or has…
I use it a lot and would like to have it open at all times for quicker access. Even a keyboard shortcut would be nice, if there is one, please let me know. Thanks in advance, -Wes s
We generate PDF draft reports that are reviewed and marked up with traditional clouds, highlights and text boxes. The reviewer compares marked up Draft #1 to the updated Draft #2. Normally, the reviewer would split the view and use synchronize views between the documents. Does Bluebeam Revu have a system where it checks…
I have a form and am trying to mail merge data into the form. Could you please advise how do I create a .dfd file with my data that I want to include in the mail merge
Cloud and Cloud+ color fills only are changing from 10% to solid. First noticed in a Studio session. When selected, the solid fill reads as 10% in toolbar and properties panel. If bumped up or down, it resets to 10%. The solid fills return after closing, leaving, logging out for all users. Comments exported and imported…
I would like to modify the 'Markups List / Export to .pdf' output appearance. Specifically: Increase the size of the .pdf screenshot graphic so that it takes up half or all of the page width. Reduce or eliminate the center column that lists the selected columns. Reduce or eliminate the column on the right that re-prints…
Not sure if this is a bug. We are Fire Risk Assessors so are often need to either colour in a wall or change the colour of a door on floor plans. We also have to draw lines to show the length of a certain route. Here's what I've noticed: 1 = The fill colour choices for a Polygon are not the same as the Change Colour…
I noticed that starting on 12/16 the invitation emails from BB for a Session no longer show the full Session title. They have always come in showing this example: You've been invited to Studio Session BP25-1257 Review 2 As of 12/16 the subject line is only showing this: You've been invited to a Studio Session Is everyone…
Can I set (within my preferences) the units to be meters ? When I calibrate for dimensions etc, it always assumes mm's and not m's. I would like my default to be m's
