Hi everyone! 👋 I'm a product designer at Bluebeam, and I’m currently working on Tool Set syncing across devices in Revu. As part of this, we’re exploring how profiles affect tool set visibility. We’d love your input! Can you take a second to answer this one-question poll? Thanks, Skylar
I would love for profile changes to be saved automatically or at least have a shortcut key to save Profile. Currently, we have to manually save any updates to the profile, which is easy to forget. Ideally, the system could either auto-save changes or prompt the user with a pop-up when unsaved changes are detected, offering…
I'm trying to share a profile with a colleague but the profile won't upload to his machine without my drawing. the profile used to share without the drawing but now it won't load without the drawing? Any ideas on how I can remedy this
Hello everyone! I'm a BIM manager at my architecture firm, and we're currently facing some challenges with Bluebeam sessions and assigning statuses. Each time I create a new document, I have to set the statuses again, which is quite frustrating. I noticed that when I try to save the statuses to a Bluebeam profile, the…
I have a profile that I have exported. When I try to import it to another computer, the file loads, but not the profiles. I've tried deleting the other profiles (although they keep appearing again even though they have been deleted). And just importing this profile. The profile works on my computer but when I try to upload…
Please turn status settings into an importable files like tool chests/btx files or hatch patterns/bhx files. It will make things easier when you have a user that prefers their own profile instead of the company provided profile. Currently, if the company's default statuses change, the user will need to load a new profile…
Did you know that double-clicking a Bluebeam Revu Profile (.bpx file) automatically opens Revu and imports the profile for you? This is the quickest and easiest way to have a User import a Profile. It is a very low impact for our non-technical friends and co-workers. 😅 It is much better than explaining how to click the…
I recently discovered how easy it is to export/import profiles (yay!) but, realized that this does not carry over everything. For example, our typical default markup is red, but, we want to provide another Profile where the defaults are green. When trying to set this up, the color override will change the default color to…
Hello, I would like to darken my grid so I can see it better. I just updated to Bluebeam 21 and I don't know if it's on my end or not because we just got new laptops also but in Bluebeam 20 when I drew lines and had the grid up I could see the dots clear as day fully zoomed in but now I only can see them if I zoom out to a…

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…
Has anyone experienced this issue after updating to version 21.6? It doesn’t happen every time, but occasionally I get a popup that prevents Bluebeam from opening. When this occurs, I’m unable to launch the application at all. Just wondering if anyone else has run into this and found a solution.
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…
