Within the Canvas Module of CDF, consider adding enhanced mark-up capabilities.

Enhancement Considerations:

  • Add Cloud polygon shape for revision indications
  • Add Call-Out w/ Text Option (Box with Arrow)
  • Opacity Option for Line and Shape Objects
  • Ability to add / organize user-created stamps (toolchest)
  • Ability to create layers for mark-up objects (Turn On / Off)

Hi ​@tddahnke,

Thank you for your feedback! 

Could you please share a bit more detail and some examples on the above? Especially for:

  • Add Call-Out w/ Text Option (Box with Arrow)
  • Ability to create layers for mark-up objects (Turn On / Off)
     

As for :

  •  Cloud shape - is already available in the product when changing the line type. We want to make this shape more visible, so will soon move it as a stand alone shape next to the rest of them.  
  • Ability to add / organize user-created stamps (toolchest) - atm we don’t have a way for the user to add new stamps to the library. But we can do this for you. We just need the list of stamps. 

    Thank you,
    Andreea.

The layer functionality would be similar to annotation on/off button.  An example would be a P&ID marked up with connectors and stamps, those connectors would be able to turn on and off.  The layers would be able to be named with toggles on/off.

 

Please see the call-out option below:

The arrow would be adjustable with a built-in text box inside the shape.

Great progress on the other features, is it possible to add the cloud feature to all shapes (including path).  If the cloud feature is going to be its standalone shape it would make sense to give the circle, rectangle, and path option. 

 

The cloud feature on the rectangle is a great add.

@Andreea Oprea 

You mentioned adding stamps, we have autocad and bluebeam objects.  Can you take either one?

Hi ​@tddahnke,

For now, we can’t import them directly in this format. Can you convert them into a PDF format? 
We are planning to improve and streamline this process, on the roadmap for H2’26. 

Thank you,
Andreea.

Hello ​@tddahnke,

As I mentioned previously, we have moved the cloud shape to a more visible place. 

Now the cloud shape can be accessed here:


 Thank you,
