How do you default your measurements to metric instead of imperial?
Is there a setting to convert all Bluebeam measurements (including those in the interface) to metric instead of imperial? I feel like I saw somewhere that the only way to do this was to change the portal from US to (let's face it) anything else to show metric, but our company has everyone on the United States server (even…

Cannot apply comments to measurement markups
Hi. I've been banging my head against this one for a long time and it seems to be an intended feature. For all of my measurement markups, it seems like I can't add or modify comments.

Open second instance of BB, lose all my imported tools/line types/hatches
I have over 20 tool sets, line types and hatches. If I open a second instance of Bluebeam, those tools do not show up. Annoying but not that big of a deal. The problem is, if I then close all instances of Revu, when I launch it again, sometimes all of my tool sets and hatches have disappeared (and they don't come back…

I would like to remove and save approx. 10 pdfs from a studio session to condense the list to the most current files. The process of deleting individual files and saving a local copy is rather tedious. Is there a way to streamline the process?

Windows 11 - LAAAAGGG
Our IT department has been slowly upgrading our users to Windows 11. A few of our users have been experiencing really bad lag with creating, moving, modifying markups. This happens both in Session and with locally saved files. It seems to only be happening to our users with virtual/cloud computers. Specifically, we use…

Printing Issues with ArcPro generated PDFs
Hi, I'm a new Bluebeam user. I am having issues with the way BlueBeam reads PDFs that I have generated from ArcPro. I have looked up and found that I need to check the box that says 'Remove layout background', along with when I go to print make sure the Advance printing settings says 'Image'. I've been making maps with…
