Markups

AutoVue has the ability to view hundreds of different file formats and to create markups for all its readable file formats without the document's authoring application.

Marking up refers to drawing and writing on an electronic document. AutoVue provides the ability to markup different formats without modifying the original file. When you create a markup for a file, the markup is created on top of the original file. Markups are saved in separate files.

Note: When you are creating a markup entity, you can press the Escape key to cancel.

If a file has existing Markup files, the Markup Indicator icon

appears on the status bar at the bottom of the AutoVue workspace. Clicking this button opens the Markup Files dialog box allowing you to select Markup files to open or create a new Markup file. When you open a Markup file, AutoVue layers the markup over the original file.

Create entities such as text, arcs, boxes, circles, clouds, lines, arrows, and polygons.

Add a stamp or information to an entity by adding a text or a note.

Create, name, and color layers to organize your work.

Create a new Markup file that combines copies of selected layers of different Markup files.

Create measurement markup entities that can be moved or resized.

Navigate markups through a hierarchy tree, view markup properties, and sort the tree according to each property.

View markup layers individually or in combination.

Note: Markup capability is only available in certain versions of the AutoVue product. For more information, refer to the Product Variations Checklist.

Note: By default, markups are disabled for Office documents. For information on how to enable markups for Office documents, refer to the “INI Options” chapter in the Installation and Administration Manual.
