Redline Tools Window
The Redline Tools window is a dockable window with a number of buttons at the top enabling you to mark up
viewpoints with redline annotations.
The Thickness and Color controls enable you to modify the redline settings. These changes do not affect already
drawn redlines. Also, thickness only applies to lines; it does not affect redline text, which has a default size and
weight and cannot be modified.
All redlines (with an exception of redline tags) can only be added to a saved viewpoint or to a clash result which
has a saved viewpoint. If you don’t have any saved viewpoints, adding a redline tag will automatically create
and save a viewpoint for you.
You can also convert measurements to redlines. For more information, see “
Measuring” on page 212.
