PMWeb Viewer Redlining Tab Drawing Area

 
The drawing area contains a locked background layer which displays the image file selected in the PMWeb Viewer Header Fields. Tools selected in the PMWeb Viewer Header Toolbar or the context menu described below can be used to draw or place symbols on top of the image layer.
 
Elements can be moved and resized within the drawing area. With the arrow cursor tool selected, hover over an element - for drawing elements, such as rectangles, they will seem to glow - and then right click. The edit context menu appears:
 
If you select "Move & Resize" special handles appear on the element:
 
Click the center circle and drag to move the element to a different position within the drawing area. Click either of the outside circles and drag to resize the element. When you have finished editing the element hover over it until it glows again, right click, and select "End Edit". In most cases you can also double click on the element to end edit mode. If you do not take the End Edit action your changes will not be saved, even if Autosave is checked in the PMWeb Viewer Header Toolbar.
 
Use the same hover and right click technique to delete elements. Elements can also be deleted using the PMWeb Viewer Redlining Tab Actions Flyout.
