Adding and deleting markups

When an image is loaded in the viewer, you can add markup layers to the image. You can mark up JT files that are attached to DirectModel datasets or schematic geometries. You can also view images in JPEG or BMP formats that are attached to a schematic geometry. To view and mark up schematics, your administrator must set the TC_Schematic_BOMView_Types preference to on.

Markups are text or graphical elements that you draw in the viewer with your model or schematic. 3D markups display on 3D layers.

Markups may include lines, rectangles, polygons, ellipses, inset images, and text.

Anchored text markups can include part information and metadata attributes.

To create or modify markups, display the relevant toolbar by right-clicking the Lifecycle Visualization base toolbar and choose the appropriate command from the shortcut menu.

Note

If you are working with schematics, only a limited set of functions are available. The following options do not apply to schematics: edit color/translucency, insert, view control, export 3D, reposition, rotate, PMI, clearance, cross-section, navigation, and visibility.
