Revu 21.6.0 is here! 🎉 📅 Release date: June 3, 2025 Get ready for smoother workflows, smarter tools, and even more control. Here's what's new and improved: 🖊️ Markups on Capture Now you can mark up directly on embedded images—because sometimes words aren’t enough, and arrows say it best. 💻 ARM-based Windows? We got you.…
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…
You used to be able to click the header of a tool set to expand and collapse the set, now you must click the arrow Additionally, you used to be able to see the color of tools in properties mode when the set is in Detail view; now the color only appears in symbol view
Is there a way to select all items on all pages after mark-up? I need to have all items appear, from all sheets in a single legend. Common mark-ups will all tally together, but if there is a stray item on a single page, it gets left behind.
Hi, We are new to BB and just starting to setup our templates, library etc. I have seen comments on using BB for punchlists and viewed on youtube but does BB have a learning page on how to set these up properly? We do large multi storey hotel projects and ideally want a live punchlist of sorts. Thanks for your help
Het everyone… I'm on here trying to find out what to do… So, I have an issue, when I have everything set up already to go, I go to the bottom corner of the page to set the scale of the page & after that I grab my line off the "My Tools" to get started & when I do that the entire page turns blue… usually it's a light…
I often find that when I insert a tool, e.g., a rectangle of a specific size, in the corner of a room, the dimensions can be hard to read, as these values are placed along the line of the wall when the rectangle snaps to this area. It would be great to be able to offset the segment value so that it appears inside the…
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?
Hello—I'm investigating automations of bluebeam tool creation. I'm interested in taking a database full of pdfs with shapes and vector images that I want to turn into tools (steel sections and simpson fasteners). What do you power users out there know about this? Thanks! CGPT says this about it: Likely Storage Structure…
I cannot access Bluebeam cloud on the iPad through any browser (tried edge and chrome). Can only use the app. I created a session and placed my PDF site plan in it. I also then placed all the all the mark-ups I had in my tool set that I want to use in the PDF. I was hoping to be able to copy, past, and edit them where I…

Resolved: Delete existing version and install old version. Question is in the title. I use the tool chest for my job, I make/edit/modify maybe 50-100 markups a day and whatever was done to the tool chest has ruined its functionality. A few examples: Double click to edit name is now extremely inconsistent. The markups are…
There should be a way to add layers in a pdf on blue beam studio to have to set them all up sheet by sheet then upload them is very time consuming each time a new sheet is added or if someone else adds sheet
I have recently been upgraded to Revu 21 and I remember my tools having custom properties applied for certain tools. Like attaching cost codes to specific tool chest items. I am not seeing the custom fields in the properties window now. Where did it move to?
I've run an overlay on an 88-page project with lots of changes. When trying to print a physical copy, it gets hung up. Even printing in batches is slow because several pages lead to virtual freezing. Are there any tips on how to improve/speed up the printing process? I've flattened and reduced file size, but that has had…
Since it looks like there is no way to unflatten a form field I am wondering if there is a way to lock one. So far I am not able to get it to work. Thanks
I have the Revu Complete plan. Revu is largest user of memory on my system. Right now I have 4 plans open and my memory usage is at 2,486.6 MB I seem to hover around 2,000 MB. Could there be a setting I need to change which will reduce this usage? I have some lagging in other programs. I had attemped to use Studio once to…
Hello y'all ! Is there someon who know how to export coordinate of each control point? (Polyline, not polylength measurement) Thank you ! :-D
I frequently copy excerpts from a PDF using the 'Snapshot' tool ('G' keyboard shortcut) and paste them into emails and chat (MS Outlook & Teams). I love that it can retain vector data and have customized resolution. However, I ran into an issue trying to copy the full page. Even with a basic, unlocked, 8.5x11 page with…
Is there some reason why OCR works on some text in a drawing file and not other text? It looks to be the same font as other text on the drawing that OCR was successful in making searchable. Sorry I am unable to include a snip due to IP. Can anyone share their OCR settings? I've been using Bluebeam for years and still have…
