Hi everyone! 👋

I'm a product designer at Bluebeam, and I’m currently working on Tool Set syncing across devices in Revu.

As part of this, we’re exploring how profiles affect tool set visibility.

We’d love your input! Can you take a second to answer this one-question poll?

Thanks,

I basically only need one profile, but I've played around with alternative profiles. The only real difference I've used was to make my Markup List float on an adjacent screen rather than dock at the bottom of my main window.

I am constantly switching profiles working on many different major projects across North America. A significant problem is that profiles contain far too much information, but there is no other simple way to share or toggle between different tool sets, markup settings, hatch and linework style lists, etc. Each Bluebeam profile contains settings for 23 different record key sets, such as signature settings, security policy, user scripts, custom header/footers and much more (see image). I have found personal data in profiles that are set up for our large projects, carried around from different users all around the industry. Almost nobody knows this and it is rarely checked or cleaned up. It is passed around all the time as a convenient way to share tool sets and custom markup table settings. Inevitably someone is going pass around a profile with a permissive security policy and a malicious script. I brought this up years ago and haven't seen it fixed. Glad to hear that maybe someone will work on it.

I have multiple Profiles that I use depending on what I am measuring. I often switch between them throughout the day.

What would be helpful would to be able to change the profile (including all of the settings) that a drawing was saved with at the click of a button.

Basically, I sometimes will open and save a drawing when I'm in the wrong profile and then start working on it. I can of course save it again in the correct profile but then I must import the correct custom columns.
