Notes:
  • The markers linked to an unloaded object are not displayed in the 3D area. However, these markers are displayed in the tree with the mask.
  • You can associate text, label, picture, and stamp markers with zooming, so that whenever you zoom in or zoom out, the markers are also zoomed in or zoomed out accordingly. To associate a marker with zooming, select the Zoomable check box in the Properties dialog box of the marker.
  • When you switch a geometry to which a marker is linked to no-show space, the marker is not displayed. (Note: In the tree, you must select the Product and not the 3D Shape.) When the marker is set to no-show, switching the linked geometry to show state will not alter the no-show state of the marker.

    When the linked geometry is not loaded in the session, the marker is not displayed.

  • When you select a marker, its linked objects are highlighted in the 3D area and in the tree.
