Viewing files with AutoVue
To view Buzzsaw files with AutoVue, select the desired file and click the View
tab on the right-hand side of the screen. Remember: When you are viewing
drawing files, AutoVue will launch only if you have selected it as your default
drawing viewer (as described previously in this topic).
NOTE Whatever file or drawing viewer you choose, the viewer may not always
render selected files with complete accuracy. This is a function of the viewer's
ability to approximate the selected image or information as created by the file's
native application and is not related to the performance or capabilities of Buzzsaw.
Marking up drawings with AutoVue
AutoVue provides a variety of markup tools, allowing you to create a range
of shapes, lines, text notes, and links, as well as insert symbols and OLE objects.
Members with View access can use AutoVue's markup tools but cannot save
any changes to files within the site.
NOTE To view and mark up drawings with AutoVue, you first must have selected
it to be your default drawing viewer. For more information see
Setting Preferences
(page 19).
To mark up a drawing:
2 Select the desired file and click the View tab on the right-hand side of
the screen. The Markup Mode button displays to the top right of the
drawing.
3 Click Markup Mode .
4 Using the AutoVue toolbars, mark up the drawing.
NOTE To exit any tool in AutoVue and restore the use of your mouse pointer
within the drawing, click the right-hand button on your mouse. For help
with AutoVue, launch the standalone application and use the Help menu.
5 To save the markup, click Save on the AutoVue toolbar.

before saving the first, a message is displayed asking if you want to save your
work. Click Yes to save the markup or No to discard the changes. (The
Cancel option may be disabled).
