Markups Dialog
Used to view markups made in an overlay file in Bentley Navigator. A markup can be annotation text, freehand redlining, pen and area highlighting.
You can access this dialog from the following:
The Markups dialog is divided into two sections. The top section displays information about the markup. The bottom section automatically displays any changes made to the properties of the markup and any comments manually added by a reviewer. By default, the Markups dialog is docked to the bottom of the application window.
To change the columns of information displayed, right-click on the row of column headings. Use the menu to turn on or off the columns. To sort the items in each column in ascending or descending order, click the column heading.
If you use MicroStation to open an *.overlay.dgn file, the Markups dialog offers additional options such as deleting a markup or switching to a review mode.
Note: The Markup Properties dialog can be used to change the Name, Description, Priority, Status, Assigned To, Due Date, Reviewed By, Approved By, Template, and User-defined 1–4 fields. To open the Markup Properties dialog, right-click the markup and select Properties from the pop-up menu. Any changes made in the Markup Properties dialog are automatically reflected in the Markups dialog, along with an audit trail in the Comments section of the dialog.
