Highlight Items Tool

What it Does​

Makes the lines and curves you select thick and red, so a reader can see which parts of the draft a step is about. It is part of the written drafting instructions system. A pro number is a step number placed next to a point on the draft. Highlighted lines and curves usually go with a pro number.

Use this when a step in your instructions draws a line or curve, and you want it to stand out in the illustration.

info

The lines and curves do not need to be on the pro number layer. You can highlight items on any layer you can see.

How to Use​

  1. Activate the tool by selecting the Highlight Items icon
  2. Select one or more lines, curves or polylines. Click a selected item again to unselect it. Continue is not available until you select something
  3. Select Continue. The items turn thick red
  4. Select Save to keep the highlight, or Cancel to leave without changing anything
info

An item that is already highlighted is left as it is. Remove Highlight always brings back the look the item had before it was highlighted.

info

To take the highlight off later, use Remove Highlight. Change Number to Black also removes every highlight in the workspace.
