Import and export

Bring a tool set in from Bluebeam Revu as a .btx, download it again for Revu, or keep a backup file with your edits.

Tool Chest works on tool sets you export from Revu. You bring one in, edit it, and take it back to Revu.

Import from Revu #

  1. In Revu, export the tool set: Tool Chest › Manage Tool Sets › Export. That saves a .btx file.
  2. In Tool Chest, click Import and pick the .btx.

The tool set replaces the one on this computer. When there's work on screen, you confirm first, so download it first if you want to keep it.

If the file can't be read, the status note says why.

Download for Revu #

  1. Click Export ▾ → Tool set for Revu (.btx).
  2. In Revu, import it: Tool Chest › Manage Tool Sets › Import.

Tools you edited download with your changes. Everything else is written exactly as Revu stored it. A tool with one of your own line styles gets Revu's plain dashed line with that style's rhythm, for now. See Use your own line styles.

Keep a backup #

Export ▾ → Tool Chest file (.toolchest.json) saves the tool set with your edits and line styles. Click Import and pick it to get it back.

Who can download #

Downloads are for people who can edit the tool set, and for your own work on this computer. Project viewers and view-only links can look but not download. See Exports.
