Markup Tool

Clicking the Markup (paintbrush) button on the right will open the Markup Toolkit, which enables you to draw and calculate measurements directly on the map.

Draw Mode

To draw, make sure Draw is selected. Then choose your drawing method: Text, Marker, Line, Circle, Rectangle, Polygon, or Freeform Polygon. When Pan is selected, it will allow you to move the map without altering a drawn object.

Text

To place text, click anywhere on the map and then start typing. Within the Markup Toolkit, settings will appear to alter the text. You can change the font size and color of the text, prior to typing. To alter these settings after typing, see the Edit and Delete section of the manual below.

Marker

To place a marker, simply click anywhere on the map.

Line

To place a line, click anywhere on the map, release, then move the mouse to where you want the line to end. Click once to end a line segment and continue the line. Click twice to end the line completely. You can change the line width and color of the text, prior to typing. To alter these settings after typing, see the Edit and Delete section of the manual below.

Circle & Rectangle

To place a circle or rectangle, click anywhere on the map, release, then move the mouse to alter the size/shape of the circle/rectangle, click again to end the circle/rectangle. You can change the line width, fill color, and stroke color of the text, prior to typing. To alter these settings after typing, see the Edit and Delete section of the manual below.

Polygon

To place a polygon, click anywhere on the map, release, then move the mouse to where you want the line segment to end, click to end that line segment and continue creating the shape. When you are satisfied with the polygon double click to connect the end points and the polygon will complete. You can change the line width, fill color, and stroke color of the text, prior to typing. To alter these settings after typing, see the Edit and Delete section of the manual below.

Freeform Polygon

A Freeform Polygon is different than a Polygon because it is not drawn with straight lines. To place a freeform polygon, click anywhere on the map, release, then move the mouse to create the shape you want. When you are satisfied with the polygon double click to connect the end points and the polygon will fill in. You can change the line width, fill color, and stroke color of the text, prior to typing. To alter these settings after typing, see the Edit and Delete section of the manual below.

Measure Mode

To measure, make sure Measure is selected. Then choose your drawing method: Line, Circle, Rectangle, or Polygon. Follow the same procedures for Draw (above) to make your measurements. Measured distances are displayed in feet and measured areas are displayed in square feet. Measurements will appear in real time near your cursor as you draw.

Edit and Delete

To hide any of your drawings or measurements, click the eye icon next to each object under Results, in the Markup toolkit. To remove an object permanently, click the Remove button. To edit the color and/or size for any of your drawings or measurements, click the Edit button. When you are satisfied with your changes, click OK and your edits will be saved.
