1 min read

The Highlight button on the Basic Markup or Standard Markup toolbar provides access to the highlighting feature.

With the discussed feature, an end user can draw arbitrary rectangular areas on a 3D CAD model.

Depending on a given toolbar, the feature is displayed as follows:

  • Basic Markup: as the separate Highlight toolbar.

  • Standard Markup: as additional buttons on this toolbar.

The highlighting feature provides the following functionality:

  1. Highlight: to draw arbitrary rectangular areas on a 3D CAD model.
  2. Select: to select markups on a 3D CAD model.
  3. Rectangle colors: to set the color of a rectangular area to be drawn.

To use a feature or option, a user should click the required button.

To select a drawn rectangle, a user should click Select and then select this rectangle. A selected rectangle has blue edges with circles and can be repositioned.

Dragging the blue circles on the edges of a selected rectangle repositions this rectangle.
