CDE Sync™ + Bluebeam.

Overview: 

Bluebeam is where drawings are actually reviewed and marked up on most projects, while the controlled record sits in a separate CDE. That usually means someone downloading, re-uploading and re-tagging the same file every time a review cycle closes. CDE Sync™ automates that exchange, keeping Bluebeam consistent with every other connected platform. Retiring a platform altogether rather than running an ongoing sync? CDE Migrate™ handles that one-off move instead, preserving version history, metadata and audit trails intact. 

Who it's for: 

Document Controllers, Design Managers, BIM Managers and Project Managers running Bluebeam alongside another CDE. 

What CDE Sync™ does for Bluebeam users: 

• Synchronises drawings, documents and metadata between Bluebeam and every other connected CDE 

• Maps metadata fields automatically against the target platform's schema 

• Keeps reviewed and issued revisions aligned, so the marked-up drawing and the controlled record stay in step 

• Logs every transfer for audit and compliance purposes

• Pairs with Issues Sync™ to keep issues, RFIs and defects raised in Bluebeam connected across every other CDE on your project 

How it connects: 

CDE Sync™ connects to Bluebeam through a dedicated service account and secure API integration, configured entirely through CDE Sync™'s no-code setup wizard. No scripting, no developer involvement, and nothing installed on your infrastructure. 

Also syncs with: 

Autodesk Forma (BIM360/ACC), Bentley ProjectWise, Microsoft SharePoint, Procore, Oracle Aconex, 12d Synergy, Asite, InEight, Trimble, Bluebeam, Egnyte, Dalux, RIB, and Azure Blob. 

Security: 

Built on Microsoft Azure and hosted in your choice of data region to meet residency and sovereignty requirements, see our Global Data Regions map.SOC 2 Type II certified, full detail on our Security & Trust Portal. Zero file persistence, your data is streamed, never stored. 

FAQs: 

Can CDE Sync™ replace manually re-uploading between Bluebeam and our other CDE?

> Yes, that's the exact problem this integration is built for. 

How long does a Bluebeam connection take to set up?

> Typically 15 to 30 minutes. 

Can we sync in both directions, or only one way?

> CDE Sync™ supports inbound, outbound and bi-directional syncs, configured per project. 

Does this affect our existing Bluebeam project structure or permissions?

> No, CDE Sync™ syncs alongside your existing structure without changing user permissions in Bluebeam. 

What if we want to migrate to Bluebeam entirely, not just sync?

> That's CDE Migrate™, our one-off migration service. It moves everything at once, preserving version history, metadata and audit trails, rather than keeping platforms continuously synchronised. 

Can this also sync issues, RFIs and defects, not just drawings and documents?

> Yes, that's handled by Issues Sync™, which keeps issues in Bluebeam connected to every other CDE on your project.
