Autodesk Submittals
How to use Bluebeam markup tools with Autodesk Submittals.
Setting up the Submittal for file transfer
The ACC‑Bluebeam Connector allows users to review and mark up Autodesk Submittals by transferring PDF files between ACC Submittals and Bluebeam Studio Projects or Sessions. All permissions in the Connector follow the user’s Autodesk account permissions.
Connector users can see all Submittals they are asigned to and all permits are inherited from the user's Autodesk Credentials.
