Use Markup Assist to edit an imported markup

00:04

You'll have all the same functionality with an image trace.

00:07

So let's rename this one to remove coffee bar windows.

00:11

In fact, you'll have more functionality with image traces.

00:14

Let's send the trace to the back.

00:17

Notice there are a couple of more icons on the trace toolbar

00:20

to the left of the toggle view icon. You'll find a lightning bolt

00:24

and a small box with a green check in it.

00:26

You'll also notice that the individual elements of the

00:29

trace are now enclosed within a dashed blue box

00:32

that is a feature called markup assist

00:35

and it's controlled by the lightning bolt when it's yellow, it's on.

00:39

I'll click it to toggle the feature off and the

00:41

markups will simply appear as if they're in the back.

00:44

Let's turn it back on and explore it deeper.

00:47

Hovering over one of the blue boundary edges will

00:49

make a similar badge appear by your cursor.

00:52

Soon a tool tip will appear for you.

00:55

It says click for options. So let's do that.

00:58

When I click on the boundary,

00:59

I'll get a pop up with all the options that the markup type supports.

01:03

In this case, you can change the image of a cloud into a real AUTOCAD REV cloud.

01:08

Let's click on the insert as REV cloud button.

01:11

When you do markup assist will fade out in the

01:13

markup cloud and draw in an AUTOCAD rev cloud.

01:17

Let's click on one of the word images

01:20

here. You'll find three command options. In

01:22

this case, you can either insert that word as an M leader or as a piece of M text.

01:28

You can even update a piece of existing text with the string found in the image.

01:33

If a conversion action is selected such as insert as in leader,

01:37

the markup will automatically fade.

01:39

If the markup is addressed in a way, other than converting the markup,

01:43

you can manually fade it by using the fade markup toggle in the toolbar.

01:47

If a markup was faded prematurely, there is an unfed

01:50

option.

01:51

When you click back on the converted entity,

01:54

there is also a toolbar icon you can use. If no part of the markup is selected,

01:58

it will prompt you to select one of the dashed blue boxes to fade.
