View Redlines and Tags
To view redlines and tags you need to recall the viewpoint that contains them.
To view redlines
1 Click Viewpoint tab ➤ Save, Load & Playback panel ➤ Saved Viewpoints tool launcher
.
2 Click the desired viewpoint in the Saved Viewpoints window. All attached redlines (if any) are displayed in
the Scene View.
Tags Panel
The Tags panel on the Review tab enables you to add and manage tags.
Tags combine the features of redlining, viewpoints and comments into a single, easy to use review tool. This
allows you to tag anything you want to identify in the model scene. A viewpoint is automatically created for
you, and you can add a comment and status to the tag.
For example, during a review session, you locate an item in the scene that is incorrectly sized or positioned. You
can tag this item, stating the problem, save your review results as an NWF file, and pass the file to the design
team. The design team can search the file, for any tags of status 'new', and locate your review comments. Once
any necessary modifications are made to the drawing files, these can be reloaded into the *.nwf file, and the tag
status can be changed accordingly. You can review this latest version of the NWF file, ensure all tags have been
resolved and finally 'approve' them.
To add a tag
1 Click Review tab ➤ Tags panel ➤ Add Tag
.
2 In the Scene View, click the object you want to tag.
3 Click the area where you want the tag label to be located. The tag is now added, and both points are joined
by a leader line.
If the current viewpoint is not already saved, then it will be saved automatically and named “Tag View X”,
where “X” is the tag ID.
