In Revu Complete, there is an option to use Live Link to link measurements with cells in Excel. Here is a LINK to a YouTube clip that shows this feature. Bluebeam also lets you customise your linetypes for Markups and Measurements. Here is a LINK to Custom Linetypes. My tip is to create a ToolSet of at least 80% of all the measurements that you will need. If you are going to link Bluebeam to Excel, you need consistent, "clean" data.
Now linking from Bluebeam is great, I have made and seen some great workflows, just note that you will need to map all the data variations in Bluebeam to a single cell in Excel. So if you have 5 markups, with 3 variations thats 15 mapped links. If these have another 2 levels of options, say another 5 and then 3 that 5x3x2x5=150 mapped links. At some point you may prefer to use Export to .csv and review the data in Excel another way. You have some experimentation to do, but the work is worth it. Good luck.
Just wondering what everyone is using in the field other than an IPad? Any Galaxy Tab, etc. users out there? If so, have you got any feedback?
I have plotted two drawings from AutoCAD to PDF (each a single page). When I open them separately in Bluebeam, their layers show up as expected. When I insert the second page into the same PDF as the first page, the layers are no longer showing for the second page. How do I get the layers to come along with the PDF when I…
Did a quick search and found nothing. Maybe I am missing it, but is there a way to customize right click menu? Thanks in advance…

What is this icon in Studio Session? How do I address it? Clear it?:
is Bluebeam going to add more tools to the cloud based app? such as stamp, measure/dimension and count.
My autofill descriptions list for the Count Subject has grown too big. When I begin to type in the Subject field of the "Count Measurement Properties" I get a list that is too big. I would like to clear this suggestion list. They are not "Subjects" that I have used in current PDF I am working on. They are the combined…
Hello, I received an email from Bluebeam stating that I was a part of their beta testing community. I have explored the new features, such as offset and markup conversion, but I haven't found the AI prompt capability. Is this available with BluebeamMax beta? I have paid subscriptions for Bluebeam (premium) and Claude.…
Hi all, I've recently been following the hype about working out of Bluebeam Sets as I'm looking for ways to streamline our workflow. I did have a question about viewing markups particularly when you are working with individual extracted drawing files as that seems like it gives you the best performance when working off of…
We are using the Revu version from 2015. We have yellow imbedded links in our PDFs that point to other PDFs. The only way these links work is if we have the folder where they are stored turned onto IE Mode. We want to get away from using IE Mode with Edge. Can someone help guide me through the process?
