I have a new issue whereby every time i open Bluebeam, it creates me an additional "My Tools" chest….i now have 16 Tool chests named "My Tools"!?! They also cant be deleted so they are growing. Anyone have any ideas?
Probably you stored the profile in a different folder than the default Bluebeam is using (appdata/roaming). If you move your profile there and relink to that folder from the profile settings, these duplicates will be removed and everything works as normal. Hopefully this issue will be patched out soon.
Yes, this has something to do with the storage location if it is anywhere other than the default. Mine are stored in Dropbox so I'm encountering this. I've been in contact with Bluebeam Technical Support and they are looking into this issue. No fixes yet though!
Same here. Do you have any solution to this?
Although Bluebeam are working on this, there isn't an estimated date for when there will be a fix. Their suggestion is to save the Toolsets in Dropbox (or whatever you are using) but to keep the profiles in the default folder.
This isn't happening to mine, but I also have mine marked as "read-only" so it can't be accidentally updated.
So mine is saved on OneDrive (both my profile and tool chests), but on all of them I've right-clicked on the file —> Properties —> check the box next to Read-Only.
If you guys have your profile stored on Dropbox, OneDrive, or something similar, perhaps you can restore to an earlier version that isn't experiencing this, and then lock the file as read-only?
Thanks Liz. My problem is that I'm constantly updating so don't think I can save as read only. What I have been told to try is saving the Profile to the default location but the Toolboxes to Dropbox - not tried this yet though.
Hi. I've been having the same issue. Our profiles were saved to a drive on our network, not the default on our PC local drives. I've just re-routed everything back to the default folder on my PC and it's partially fixed the issue. When I open the profile now there are no extra duplicates created, but the ones that had already sneaked into the profile I'm currently using are still there, but at least now they remain unchecked so don't keep showing up as open tool sets. BTW, I've reverted back to 21.5 for now. I've not heard anything from Bluebeam to say they've fixed 21.6. In fact, I've heard nothing from Bluebeam despite numerous attempts to get some answers.
They have not fixed this specific issue, but they are aware of it and have been able to recreate the problem.
What do you mean by "constantly"?
If it's once a week or less, I think marking it as read-only would be doable. You just uncheck the read-only box, then Save Profile, then check the box again. It's not too bad.
But if it's multiple times each day, that may be an issue. But, at the same time, if it's that frequent I'd wonder why and if there's something you can do to minimize needing to update it so often.
It depends on which profile I'm using.
Some such as that for measuring retaining walls basically never get changed. However, those such as the one for measuring brickwork are changed for things like where I change the weight of custom line styles to suit the scale of the drawing being measured. I'm back to using the defaul location at te moment and will move everything again once a fix is found.
I have noticed that My Tools is the only toolset that lets me map the tools to the numbers on my keyboard. The other toolsets don't seem to do this. I have created 1 toolset that is for quantities and another toolset for markups. What I have been doing is dragging the individual tools into My Tools to get their keyboard…
Is there any way that I can renumber the document and revision order, or does it go by upload date and time?
I created a profile and we released it to our staff. I would like to make a change to our hatches but when trying to do so the modify is grayed out and not letting me adjust our hatches. Is there a way to edit and add our hatches for the profile?
I have a 1000MB file that I want to compress, but when I use the resize pdf tool, it only compresses 3%. Is there a real compression option to turn this file into something I can attach to an email?
I have a plan I want to measure doing take off how do I do that?
Is there any work-around to no keyboard shortcut for exporting a page region to Excel? I have made several (unsuccessful) attempts to figure out a way to pin this function to a toolbar, but this does not seem possible either. Is there a feature that I don't know about that will allow me to simply add this shortcut, or add…
The session was accidentally terminated due to participant error, and now we cannot access the PDF data that was inside the session. Is there any way to restore the deleted session or recover the markup data from the PDFs that were in the session?…

The Microsoft trend is to have scroll bars become narrow or invisible when you're not hovered over them, but that removes valuable "place" info and makes it harder to click onto the bar to drag it, and the space freed up by the missing scroll bar isn't used for additional viewing real estate - it's just wasted space that…
