Add detail marks

You can mark details in the drawing with detail marks.

  1. In an open drawing, on the Annotations tab, hold down Shift and click Detail mark.
  2. In Detail Properties , enter the name for the detail, and modify the detail boundary and detail mark properties, as desired.

    The shape of the detail boundary you select affects the way you select the area for your detail.

  3. Click OK or Apply.
  4. Depending on the selected detail boundary shape, do one of the following:
    • If the shape is Circle, pick the center point of the circle and then pick a point on the circle.
    • If the shape is Rectangle, pick corner points for the rectangle.
  5. Pick a position for the label.
  6. Press Esc to interrupt.
Tip:

You can move or copy manually created detail marks:

  • Copy detail marks using Ctrl+drag

  • Copy detail marks inside a drawing view with the context menu commands Copy > Linear and Copy > Linear..., the ribbon command Copy, or by entering Copy - Linear in Quick Launch. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+C.

  • Move detail marks using Shift+drag

  • Move detail marks inside a drawing view with the context menu command Move > Linear, the ribbon command Move, or by entering Move - Linear in Quick Launch. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+M works as well.

Note that detail marks can only be moved or copied within a view. When moved beyond the view frame, the view frame will adjust so that the detail mark will always be within the frame.
