What is Bluebeam Drawings?

Bluebeam® Drawings is a new product from Bluebeam that enables you to view documents anywhere, anytime. Whether on- or off-site, you no longer need to pay to view drawings. Access project files from a mobile device, tablet, or desktop.

How can I access Bluebeam Drawings?

**You can access Drawings on the web or the Drawings mobile app available on iOS and Android. Your device requires at least Android OS 5.0.0 or iOS version 11.0 to run Drawings.

Let's take a look at the steps necessary to use Bluebeam Drawings. You'll need a seat of Revu 2018 or higher with paid maintenance.
