How to draw freehand on a plan

1 min read Updated

Use Pencil to draw freehand on the plan: circle an issue, sketch a change or add your initials by hand. Pick a colour and line thickness first. Pencil marks print and export with the plan unless you hide them.

Step by step

  1. 1Choose Pencil in the tool list.
  2. 2Pick a colour and line thickness.
  3. 3Draw on the plan the way you would with a pen.

Tips

  • Use a different colour for each kind of mark so they are easy to tell apart.
  • Hand-drawn initials are a mark on the plan, not a certified electronic signature.
  • Pencil marks never change your measurements.
