The Markup features within CADMeasure enable the addition of line work, shapes, revision clouds, notes, selects etc. without affecting the underlying drawing. These Markups can be used for any purpose such as areas of work, phasing, raising queries, noting assumptions made, indicating areas where measurement is complete.
The Markup tab contains the options to add Markups and set their default appearance.
Also, see Markups Window and Properties Panel.
Click the panels of the markup ribbon below to 'jump to' the relevant section in the help guide.
Set the layer on which all subsequent Markups are to be placed. Select the layer from the drop down list.
