Annotating Drawings

Select one of your Drawings in the grid. Then go to the Viewer tab.

Then click on Annotations.

If your drawing already has annotations, you'll see them on the left.

Otherwise, click to create a new copy of the drawing to annotate.

Then click on the Annotations tool.

You can choose from multiple different markers when annotating.

Once you're done marking up your drawing, click on the Save icon.

You'll then name the annotation and choose an Annotation Type.

To ensure an annotation is actioned on, annotations can be turned into constraints and tracked on the drawing.
