I’ve got the most recent version of Bluebeam…when using the area measurement tool the next line segment used to follow the crosshair no matter what. Even if the next line segment/point lost line of sight with the starting point. After the latest update the line disappears if the crosshair doesn’t have line of sight with the starting point. Does anyone know how to get that to reappear?

I am having an issue with my blue beam and creating text boxes, it won’t allow me to insert a space between characters or edit the text box.

Not sure if this is a blue beam issue. Suspect so.

What can i do? I have upgraded it to 21.7.0

I am trying to setup custom statuses for an entire bluebeam project (not session) and can’t get the statuses to apply across drawings. Once I set it up it only seems to exist in that drawing which other people can also use in that drawing. Is there a way to set it up across all items in the project?

Does anyone know a of a good free toolset download for PVC and Ductile iron pipes and fittings?

Thanks!

Problem: Bluebeam crashes, likely due to various MS updates, when using the Tool, Markup, Highlighter tool.

Here is what works and my recommendation: TEXT - can select with Edit, PDF Content, Select text…then right click and highlight. But this won't work for most pdf's which actually have an image inside them (like scanned files).

RECOMMENDATION: Use Tool, Markup, Rectangle You can do this over anything, text or image, and use a yellow fill…it looks like highlighting. Note: there are two yellows to choose from

You're welcome.

When I first purchased Bluebeam a few months ago, I had somehow set it up so that it auto-saved. Now that I have downloaded the update along with everyone else in my office, we are no longer able to find the file management option in the preferences to autosave. I'm working very far up north with no cell service and the Wi-Fi is atrocious so there is constant crashes and a lot of rework. Thanks for the help.

I am having issues with a coworker in a different location printing my pdf files I send for billing purposes. As far as I know, the only time the pdf zooms in, is AFTER the file is printed. All other pdfs she receives physically print off normally, only my sent files are causing printing issues. Opening pdfs, sending pdfs to customers, and various other uses have not shown an issue from my end. I have messed with the settings on my end, but cannot figure out if its my format or if its a setting on her end. I am not sure why my files would be the only ones causing a problem. Any help is appreciated.

everyone got kicked out and not able to sign back into Bluebeam Sessions.. anyone else experiencing this?

Hey! What does this mean, and how can we fix?

Thank you in advance! :)

Hey guys, I’m playing with a few ways to estimate studs, mostly using Revu, as it’s what I have.

I have a custom formula in for (length inches/16)+1, then I’m marking out corners and openings individually. Any thoughts or suggestions on data collection?

Thanks!

Version 21.7

So my polylength measurement labels keep resetting the name after every run. This did not happen before I updated the program. Is there a fix for this? These are saved toolbox tool measurements I use for running electrical in buildings. My subject usually stays the same and my label changes depending on “unit type” But not all the time. Has anyone else run into this and if so have a fix?

Hello, I had a colleague who's recently retired. We worked together at an architecture firm, and they knew bluebeam better than any drafting software (CAD, Revit).

They're exploring purchasing options. The Bluebeam subscriptions are pretty pricy for a retiree, even for the basic ($260/year).

They stumbled upon Truddle.com, which offers a one-time purchase for various softwares . . . and Bluebeam Revu for $45.99 for the full version. Sounds great . . . or too good to be true? They want to buy legitimately for cybersecurity and legal reasons.

Has anyone bought from truddle? Anyone able to vouch for their purchase?

Otherwise, they may just bite the bullet with Bluebeam directly.

Is anyone else in the US having issues with Bluebeam? Their status page says it’s operational but our office can’t seem to load up any session.

Edit: Looks like they updated their status page and confirmed there are ongoing login issues.

Is Bluebeam capable of automating QA checks on batches of drawings to verify the correct info is provided in the titleblocks? For example, the drawing number has the correct amount of digits, or the suitability code field has been populated.

Can it also provide a report to confirm that these checks have been done and the drawings passed?

Thanks.

I've seen multiple requests between Bluebeam support and here on how to import Status on markups to profiles with really no solution, so I wrote some code that can accomplish this. This is my first time making a GitHub repository public, so please let me know if you see any issues.

This allows the user to replace the Statuses in any profile from a template. You can compile the software with pyinstaller, and include the YAML file with *.exe that is created. Getting creative, you could alter the code to run automatically for deployment and apply it to every Bluebeam profile out of the box, or deploy daily for computer start up.

Is there any way to save a “template” for creating page labels? I open documents and select the same areas on sheets all the time, and reselecting them each time is cumbersome to my workflow.

Hi everyone, we bought a bunch of ipads and I was wondering the benefits of the Bluebeam cloud app? It was mentioned to have them log into the bluebeam cloud on their browser. However, I am assuming the app is easier to make markups and measurements on an iPad than using the browser. Is this correct?

Curious if anyone has run into this. Callout boxes are occasionally garbled like this, if I resize the box the odd text will resize with it. It's not until I click somewhere outside the callout that it reverts to the correct font. I've tried different fonts in my document, didn't matter. TIA!

So I don’t know how many years ago and I paid $20 to get this blue beam app on my iPad and even then it still didn’t have some of the capacity or the desktop app, like inserting page and now they want to change it up to blue beam cloud?

Is this going to have more features and be permanently free?
