Markup Enhancements

Markup Enhancements

Description

  • Resize callout text boxes

  • Moving around a callout textbox is difficult, as you have to move the arrow and the “leg” instead of just moving the text where you would like

  • You can copy and paste, but it only pastes a singular time, so you have to continue going back to copy an item.

  • Highlight text function does not work well on pdfs.

  • SUBMITTALS: Signature option instead of stamp.

  • SUBMITTALS: When you upload stamp image, image should stay in system so it can be used in the future versus uploading a stamp every document

  • Add “Count” and measurement features.

  • Be able to add an outline box around text

  • Be able to thin or thicken the outline and/or arrow on Callout and regular Text features.

  • It would be extremely helpful to be able to set up your defaults for the mark up tools. For example, if you want to make all your comments blue, you have to change the color every single time you make a mark up instead of just having it saved.

Business Case

Better markup-tool functionality will help people stay inside ACC instead of exporting/downloading to use 3rd party markup tools. Doing multiple markups in ACC for submittals is just too time consuming and doesn’t always work. Continuity = saves time.

Additional ideas:

  • Grouping markups together to easily duplicate or create templates
  • Be able to change the height of individual markups to place them in front or behind other markups
    • Issue: When duplicating a text box in front of a shape, the text box is placed behind the shape
  • Holding shift/control should enable additional control
    • Lines and arrows lock onto cardinal directions (like polylines)
    • Shapes and clouds should make perfect squares and circles
