Clone and Reuse Markups

Linarc enables you to replicate existing markup elements on a plan sheet to speed up creating similar annotations and measurement markings.

• Reposition, resize, and rotate cloned elements to suit your needs at the new location.
• Quickly reproduce measurement markups in multiple areas without starting from scratch.
• Ensure uniform dimensional precision by copying instead of redrawing each markup manually.

  • Click the app launcher icon in the top-right, then select 'Documents.'
  • Click 'Plans' on the top and choose 'Plan Sheets' on the left.

  • Use the 'Search' box at the top-left to search for a specific plan sheet using sheet name or sheet number as your search criteria

• Click on the element you want to clone and use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+C to copy it
• Use Ctrl + V to paste the markup. A clone of the markup is pasted above the existing one.
• Relocate the element by dragging it to your desired spot. 
• Use the handles at the corners to resize and rotate the cloned version to fit your needs.
