There are three Markups Tools available in PlanSwift: Arrow (below), Box, and Pen (line).

Drawing Arrow Markups

Access these tools on the Home Tab.

• Set color before selecting a Markups tool by clicking the "Markup Color" button - all markups drawn use the selected color
• Click on the “Markups” drop-down

• Select Arrow Markup from the Markups drop-down

The cursor changes to indicate which tool you're using, and the Digitizer Record button turns red.

With the Arrow Tool selected,

• Drag a single or multi-segment arrow
• You can also draw a curved Arrow by pressing the "A" button on your keyboard - the following two points define the size of the arc

Single Segment Arrow

There are two ways to draw a single-segment Arrow.

• Click the first point and double-click the final (the starting point is the back or "tail" of the arrow)
• Then, double-click point is the head or "point"

Or,

• Click-n-drag, the initial point, again, is the tail of the arrow, and where you release is the point

Multiple, Connected Segment Arrow

To draw a multi-segment Arrow,

• Click once on each point
• Then double-click on the final point

Curved Arrow

To draw a curved Arrow,

• Press the "A" key on your keyboard before you click the 2nd point (or "next point", when drawing a multi-segment Arrow)

• Click the mid-point and then click the final point - your arc's final size and shape is determined by the 2nd and 3rd points

• Double-click or hit ESC on your keyboard to complete the curved Arrow

Freehand

With the Arrow Tool selected,

• Click on “Freehand” at the bottom of the PlanSwift window
• Click and Hold the mouse button down until the cursor changes to “Freehand”
• Draw your Arrow Markup however you like
• Release the mouse button when complete
