Add Lines and Arrows

The arrow tool lets you add lines and arrows to point to an area, a spot, another markup, text, etc., on the plan drawing. You can easily resize and rotate the element to point to the area to be marked.

To add a line or an arrow

• Choose the arrow tool from the toolbar and select line or arrow depending on the markup you want to make.
• Click the spot on the plan where you want to place the markup.

• Click the arrow/line to select it.
• Use the handles at the edges to rotate and/or resize the arrow/line to the required orientation and size.
• Drag the arrow/line to the precise location.

The markup is added with the color and stroke width with default settings or as set in the 'Stroke' tool. You can change them as required.

Tip: If you have calibrated the ruler, you can see the length measurement of the arrow or the line by clicking and selecting the markup. Alternatively, you can view their dimensions in the layer editor. See how to calibrate a ruler here.

To change the color and stroke width

• Click on the arrow to select it
• Click the 'Stroke' tool
• Choose the color from the palate
  • Alternatively use the color picker at the bottom right to choose a custom color
• Size - Use the slider to set up the brush width for the markup

Your selection takes effect on the currently selected markup and is auto-saved for your next markup tool.

The markup element adds as a layer to the 'Draft' group. It is shown in the layer editor on the left.

• Use the icon to show or hide the layer
• Click the icon to remove an element added by mistake
• Go to the next tool if you want to add more markup elements.
• Once you are done with the markup elements, save the layer group as a markup. See Publish Markups for more details.
