Add Redline Text

You can add markup text directly to the active file using the Text tool. This feature is used to add shorter markups like a question or a comment about the document. You can move and delete redline text in the same way that you can move and delete redline shapes. For ease of placement, you can also rotate the text.

For longer text markups, use the Note tool.

To add redline text to a document

  1. Locate the file you want to redline and open it using the Prolog Converge Document Viewer.
  2. On the toolbar, click the Marker Mode button and click the Text button. The pointer changes to the Redline Cursor.

  3. Set the thickness of the markup frame and arrow using the pen width defined in the Line Width list box on the toolbar.

  4. Click anywhere on the document. The Markup Text dialog box is displayed.
  5. Type your redline text in the Enter Markup Text field. Make formatting changes to the Font used and the Style of the text inserted if required.
  6. Click the OK button.The redline text that you entered is displayed on the document.
  7. To change the location of the redline text, click the Edit button on the toolbar and click on the redline text. Move the redline text to the desired position on the document.
  8. On the toolbar, click the Save button.

    9. Note: If you cannot see the text you have written, or it is extremely small, this may be because the Line width and text size are in option is set to Absolute document units which is relative to the size of the original drawing. For example, text written in a 10 pt. font on an A0 drawing will be virtually invisible. Click the Markup Preferences button and set the Line width and text size are in option to Current display units, then rewrite the markup. If you wish to delete the original markup, zoom in on the area till you can see the markup, then select and delete it in the normal fashion.

    When the Line width and text size are in option is set to Current display units, the resulting markup text size will depend on the amount of zoom applied to the document when the text is written.
