AutoVue


Creating EDA Markup Measure Entities

When marking up EDA files, in addition to all the markup options available for 2D files, you can create markup measure entities. The measure options in Markup mode work slightly different than in View mode. For information on marking up 2D files, see Marking Up 2D Files.

When measuring in Markup mode, the specified measurement lines and values are displayed on the current active markup layer as entities. These entities can be moved, resized, hidden or deleted. You can also modify the font of a measure entity, align a "free snap" measure entity to the horizontal or vertical axis, as well as add units of measure and symbols to a measurement and have them appear on the drawing.

AutoVue provides the option to "snap" to geometrical or electrical points on the drawing.

In Markup mode, you can choose from several measure options to create markup measure entities. You can access the measure options from the Analysis > Measure menu. The options are:
