Plug-ins for Autocad/Autodesk Products not appearing

Question

Hi All,

I am trying to get Bluebeam to convert DWG's to PDF within itself.  I have done everything suggested by support yet i cannot get any Autocad 2027 Products to show up in Plug-ins under Administrator.  When I do try to use OCR or convert to PDF with Bluebeam i get a Valid License is needed.  I have that license but how do I get Bluebeam to recognize it?

@Dan Phillips is correct, you cannot open a .dwg with Bluebeam Revu. There hasn't been a Revu update yet that supports Autodesk 2027 products either, so you won't see those come up until a later release.

Your best bet is to use the native .dwg to pdf.pc3 file from AutoCAD. It produces high quality PDFs with more options for including layers, hyperlinks, etc.

I thought I used to convert DWG's to PDF's using Bluebeam.  Am I wrong?  Anyway, Plugins do NOT come up for Autocad Plant 3D 2027

You can't open a DWG in Bluebeam and save to PDF. The plugins are added to AutoCAD so that you may plot from AutoCAD to PDF using Bluebeam provided drivers.
