Re: New to AutoCAD 2017 and looking for resources?

Hi John.  This is my first time doing this so I hope my question is received by someone because I really need some type of guidance.  I originally had Autodesk DWG TrueView 2015 installed in my computer at work and had no problems up until recently.  I had not used it in a while and when I went in last week to view a CAD drawing and then to mark up and print it, I noticed that the markup/edit toolbar was missing.  This is the toolbar where I would normally access the features to select or highlight a particular room, maybe draw a cloud around it or create arrows pointing towards certain areas with notes on it and then select to print only that room and the markups and notes that I included.  Now that toolbar and it's features are gone and I am driving myself crazy trying to figure out why and what am I supposed to do now because without those features, then it defeats the purpose of me having TrueView to begin with.  If it helps any, the toolbar I am referring to has that large capital A in it along with the features I normally used.  I mentioned my dilemma to a fellow co-worker in our Toronto office who was kind enough to send me the Autodesk website because he thought I probably just needed to upgrade to the 2017 version.  Therefore I downloaded the free version from the site but that toolbar is still missing.  Is there a way for me to access this toolbar in the 2017 version or does it no longer exist for Autodesk DWG TrueView in general?  I would greatly appreciate any type of information, guidance or help with this matter because as luck would have it, I would have to discover this just as I am about to work on a project in which I need access to those features.  I hope someone out there knows what I am referring to and is willing and able to point me in the right direction.  Again, it would be much appreciated and I apologize for being too wordy but I am in desperate need of help.  Thank you.

To do the Mark-ups you also have to have Design Review installed. It is a free download also.

Thank you so much for the quick response.  Is this the "A360 Viewer" free download that I also saw on the same web-site I downloaded TrueView 2017 from?

Sorry, that's the point where I call our help desk. Here's a link to the installation forum, http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/installation-licensing/bd-p/24 

Maybe start a new post there and someone can help you but it's over my head.
