Markups

You can create, view, edit, and delete markups for parts, assemblies, and drawings. You can draw markups on touch and nontouch devices, display bounding boxes for markups, and preview markups. You can export markups as .pdf, .bmp, .jpg, .png, and .tif files for collaboration purposes.

Markups save the creation date and time stamp, and the creator ID. This information appears when you preview a markup and export a markup to a file.

To hide or show markups, click Hide All Types > View Markups on the Heads-up View toolbar. Right-click a markup in the FeatureManager design tree or in the graphics area and click Hide to hide markups.
