> ## Oracle AutoVue

> Oracle AutoVue is a viewing and markup application that has been developed for both business and technical users.

> AutoVue is capable of displaying hundreds of file formats without the authoring application. Supported file types include Text, Office, Graphics, EDA, 2D Engineering, and 3D Models. Even contents of archive files can viewed in AutoVue. Moreover, when you view a file, you do not need to specify the file type. AutoVue automatically detects the type of file you are requesting to view, even if a file has an incorrect extension.

> ## Marking Up Documents

> AutoVue has the ability to create markups for all its readable file formats without the document's authoring application. AutoVue creates markups for different formats without modifying the original file.

> You can attach comments, notes, and drawings to any file you display in AutoVue. This is called “marking up a file”, commonly known as annotating or redlining. A markup is an object or entity that you attach to a file. All markups are saved in a separate file called a Markup or a Markup file. When you display a file with its markups, the markups are overlaid as a layer on top of the drawing.

> AutoVue provides a variety of flexible, user-friendly entities. To name a few, there are circles, clouds, polygons, and leaders. You can also attach text to entities, insert a note for longer comments, add attachments, or add a stamp such as a company logo. In addition, you can create measurement markup entities and hyperlinks that link between the current file and other associated files or applications.
