Marking > Single (Construct Menu)

This command generates individual markings. A marking is a point in the drawing usually marked with a marking symbol ( ). Markings can be used to save and recall particular positions.

The position for the marking can be entered using the mouse, by clicking anywhere in the drawing.

The marking is assigned to a layer, like every other object, which can be locked and/or blended out. Markings are not allocated to the current layer. Instead, the command Layers > Defaults is used to decide whether they should be assigned to the current layer, or another specified layer.

Markings are normally only displayed on the screen. They are ignored by output to a printer or plotter, to the Clipboard, a metafile or bitmap graphic. If markings are to be included in output, the relevant check box must be enabled in the Drawing Settings > Output check box. The appearance of markings when output can be specified here.
