Creating Picture Markers

Create a Marker Using Drag and Drop

You can create a picture marker by dragging and dropping an image from your local computer. You can also create a picture marker by dragging and dropping documents from 3DSearch, bookmarks, or library browser.

The following file formats are supported: .tiff, .tif, .jpg, .jpeg, .bmp, .png, and .svg.

To create a picture marker, do either of the following:

Drag the image files from your local computer, and drop them in the 3D area.
Note: The image is always stored in the marker feature irrespective of the document management preference.
Drag the picture documents from 3DSearch, bookmarks, or library browser and drop them in the 3D area.

If you drop the images on an object in the 3D area, the markers are linked to the object.
The markers are created with their leaders pointing the drop location.
One picture marker is created for every picture file.

Note: You can create 2D picture markers by pressing Shift while dropping the picture documents.
