I have used the .bax file to pull markup data from files and visualize in Power BI. Currently this is a manual process by saving a file from a Session locally and exporting the .bax file. We are looking into ways of using the Bluebeam APIs to extract markup data from these Session files. Currently I believe there are…
These are the instructions I created for my office to help people setup a Studio Session and include custom Status for your use. Feel free to ask any questions or offer suggestions.
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?
We all know the importance of good communication during a project. However, communicating well doesn't come without its challenges. Overcoming these challenges is a necessity in order to achieve success. Learn how you can use Bluebeam to reduce delays and enable clear and effective communication. Session details: When:…
One of our reviewers is having a problem that pops up randomly. The problem that happens is as follows and is totally random and occurs when reviewing any session(s): Extracting sheets with comments, pasting images, and details in various sheets. Once pasted images and text has been added to various sheets the reviewer…
I have need a way besides naming convention to organize sessions into folders.
I noticed last week that the settings button on all of our sessions is grayed out for me. This was never the case previously due to my admin-level access. Now, it appears, only the host can access the settings button within the session. Is anybody else seeing this?
Hey all! Just wanted to share this because I wasn't able to find a solution in the forums. I was trying to apply spaces from one page to another, every time I pasted the spaces to the next page, the spaces would rotate 90 degrees and I'd be unable to manipulate them. I didn't want to have to redraw/label EVERY space so I…
I recently discovered the feature to export and import markups from one document to another. BUT this is not available for a document within a Studio Session! I like to export a document out of the session to mark up. This allows me to work at my own pace and not have collaborators respond to my in-progress markups live. I…
It would be extremely helpful to have the ability to add, remove, or replace pages within a Bluebeam Studio Session. When working with multiple iterations of a drawing set, maintaining all comments and markups within the same session is critical for continuity. Currently, my workaround involves saving the session with…
Please add the ability to allow some users to edit/delete other peoples comments. This can be controlled through permissions. At our organisation when reviewing drawings there is a review manager that consolidates comments before sending them back. This process occurs regardless of if we are using Bluebeam or another tool.…
While making markups in the field, I capture hundreds of photos using an Android camera/phone. Is it possible to use the BB Cloud app to drop a pin in a site plan and link a photo from an Android camera? My laptop camera function is front-facing only, so that's not a workable solution. Can you add "pin-dropping and…
Our team would benefit from a configuration change of the Status column to allow an Author to edit or replace a value for a status they created. This capability would be available to each Author only for the statuses they created. Currently when an Author attempts to make a correction of a value they placed under the…
Can we get an option to put the mark up summary with hyperlinks at the front of the document? When we do a session with the design team we have hundreds of markups and currently it will only post after the last page. When we move the document to the front the hyperlinks fail to readjust to the new page numbering. The only…
It's a nightmare scrolling through the list to try to send an alert. Shocking that there appears to be no logic to the order the names are sorted.

BB crashed and I had added/edited dozens of tools and when I logged back in many of the toolsets were not showing in my profile or in the toolset list (so not hidden). Any ideas? And when I tried importing it said they already existed….
Curious if others have experienced this error when trying to PDF from the Bluebeam Add-in within Word and if you have any fixes: Version: 21.6.1 Operating System: Windows 10
I am struggling with converting certain tables and/or bid tabs from PDF into Excel. I have tried the entire document and just the page region, but when I export the data, the formatting is all screwed up. I can't seem to get the tables to import neatly. Any suggestions?
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. It will only prepopulate the comments field based on what I select to show in caption under properties. In practice what this means for me…
Every Time I load a document, it says this document has a protected scale and won't let me measure anything. Anyone have any suggestions. Thanks
Hi, just wondering how I can edit markups/takeoffs that I made at my home office and view and change at my work office? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Dynamic Fill is an awesome tool, but from time to time I do try to use i on drawings where even though I have an outline shape that appears to be closed, the Paint Bucket tool still bleeds out even at the smallest brush and slowest fill settings. Does anyone have any suggestions or found a fix for this? Using it primarily…
Hello, Is it possible to have Bluebeam Studio automatically sync all studio files to a local server in lieu of Bluebeam's cloud servers? My office is exploring the idea of getting all of my project observers an iPad with cellular data so that they can have Bluebeam Studio (or rather Bluebeam Cloud) at all times. Should…
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…
