Import a markup into a trace

00:04

Up till now. We've used Autocad itself to add markups to a trace.

00:08

But if you're a subscriber who uses either the Autocad web or mobile app,

00:12

you can add or contribute to the traces palate from the

00:14

airport in the field or wherever your job takes you.

00:18

Of course,

00:18

markups can come from a lot of places most notably an

00:21

electronic markup program or even old fashioned pencils and markers.

00:26

In fact, if you can capture it as an electronic image,

00:29

you can import it as a trace in Autocad.

00:32

So you can use a screen cap from your phone

00:34

or just take a picture of a manually created markup.

00:38

Let's import a hand drawn markup image

00:40

from the traces palette. Click on the second icon titled import markup into trace.

00:46

Select the file from your dataset

00:49

and click the open button.

00:51

Autocad will convert the image file and quickly it will be imported as a trace.
